All I Need
Navigating Ambivalence: Seeking Assurance in Relationships
Lyrics
You say listen good
You request my full attention
And I’m all yours
I am entirely committed to you
I say I’ve got some
I have something to share
And you close doors
You shut off possibilities
When I speak ambition
When I express my ambitions
You just go mute
You remain silent
I have an addiction
I have a habit or craving
To pleasing you nonetheless
Despite that, I aim to please you
All I need to know
Essential information for me
Are you with me
Are you supporting me?
The way you say you are
Confirming your commitment
All I need to know
Vital knowledge for me
Are you with me
Are you standing by me?
You say to speak up
You encourage me to speak loudly
And so I do
I comply and express myself
But when I talk up
However, no response from you
You don’t even move
Your lack of reaction when I assert myself
When you say you’ve got me
Your assurance of support
Through thick and thin
But it seems unreliable
It doesn’t seem so
Contrary to your claim
My intuition tells me so
My instincts signal doubt
All I need to know
Crucial confirmation needed
Are you with me
Are you truly by my side?
The way you say you are
Affirmation of your commitment
All I need to know
Important to ascertain
Are you with me
Are you supporting me?
Oh
An expression, perhaps emotional
(All I need to know)
Reiteration of the need to know
All I need to know are you with me
Confirmation sought
(All I need to know)
Repetition for emphasis
Ouu
An exclamation, possibly emotional
(All I need to know)
Emphasizing the need for confirmation
All I need to know are you with me
Repeatedly seeking assurance
(All I need to know)
Emphasizing the need to know
All I need to
Reiteration of the crucial need
All I need to
Emphasizing the essential requirement
