I Second That Emotion
Love's Dilemma: A Melodic Plea for Devotion
Lyrics
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
Expressing the possibility of receiving affectionate kisses.
But only for one night with no repeat.
Desiring a brief romantic encounter without any commitment.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
Suggesting the potential of the person leaving without communication.
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Comparing a limited experience of sweetness to having none at all.
Oh little girl!
An affectionate address to the person, emphasizing youth or innocence.
In that case I don't want nobody
Expressing a preference to avoid potential heartbreak in such a situation.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that pursuing such a relationship would be emotionally damaging.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Openness to love if the other person is willing.
If you got the notion,
Indicating a willingness to reciprocate romantic feelings.
I second that emotion.
Formally agreeing or expressing alignment with the emotion of love.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Accepting a long-term commitment if the other person desires.
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with a profound emotional commitment.
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
Addressing concerns about being tied down by love.
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Claiming insufficient time for a committed relationship.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
Warning against the perception that love makes people foolish.
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Suggesting wisdom in breaking conventional relationship rules.
Oh little girl!
Affectionate address to the person, emphasizing youth or innocence.
In that case I don't want nobody
Reiterating the preference to avoid potential heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that pursuing such a relationship would be emotionally damaging.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Openness to love if the other person is willing.
If you got the notion,
Indicating a willingness to reciprocate romantic feelings.
I second that emotion.
Formally agreeing or expressing alignment with the emotion of love.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Accepting a long-term commitment if the other person desires.
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with a profound emotional commitment.
In that case I don't want nobody
Reiterating the preference to avoid potential heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that pursuing such a relationship would be emotionally damaging.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Openness to love if the other person is willing.
If you got the notion,
Indicating a willingness to reciprocate romantic feelings.
I second that emotion.
Formally agreeing or expressing alignment with the emotion of love.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Accepting a long-term commitment if the other person desires.
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with a profound emotional commitment.
