Part Time Love
Navigating the Maze of Part-Time Love: Elton John's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Part time love is bringing me down
Feeling down due to the challenges of having a part-time love.
`Cause I just can't get started with you my love
Expressing difficulty in starting a relationship with the person addressed as "my love."
Did I hear you saying that I'm too hard hearted
Responding to criticism of being too emotionally guarded or unresponsive.
Wipe those stars from your eyes
Advising to remove illusions or unrealistic expectations.
And you'll get quite a surprise
Suggesting that without illusions, there will be surprising revelations.
Because you'll see everybody's got a part time love
Highlighting that everyone experiences challenges with part-time love.
You've been seen running around
Addressing the partner's actions of being seen with others.
There's not much I don't hear of and still you try
Noting awareness of the partner's activities but expressing tolerance.
Telling me all the things I must stay clear of
Being advised on things to avoid in the relationship.
Don't tell me what to do
Rejecting the partner's attempts to control or advise.
When you been doing it too
Pointing out the partner's hypocrisy in giving advice while doing the same.
Because you, me and everybody's got a part time love
Emphasizing that everyone, including the speaker, experiences part-time love.
Falling, I'm falling can't get free
Expressing a sense of falling and being trapped.
Baby if you keep on stalling
Warning that continued delay or stalling is detrimental.
Oh how can I make you see
Expressing frustration at the partner's inability to understand.
That you, me and everybody needs a part time love
Affirming that everyone needs a part-time love.
Part time love
Repeating the concept of part-time love as a common experience.
I seem to be pulling in the wrong direction
Feeling conflicted or confused in the relationship.
With you my love
Expressing challenges faced in the relationship.
Whatever I do you raise the same objection
Noting recurring objections or obstacles in the relationship.
I've got someone at home
Acknowledging a commitment at home, but with complexities.
But she's got a love of her own
Indicating that the partner also has a separate love interest.
Because you, me and everybody got a part time love
Reiterating the universality of part-time love.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting all the time
Expressing impatience and frustration with waiting.
And it's getting so frustrating
Highlighting the increasing frustration with the situation.
Love well it ain't no crime
Defending the legitimacy of seeking love, even if it's part-time.
Because you, me and everybody needs a part time love
Reaffirming the universal need for a part-time love.
And oh you, me and everybody's got a part time love
Emphasizing that everyone possesses a part-time love.
And oh you, me and everybody needs a part time love
Repeating the idea that everyone needs a part-time love.
You, me, everybody got a part time love
Concluding by stating that everyone, without exception, has a part-time love.
