I Want You with Me
Eternal Love's Anthem: Elvis Presley's 'I Want You with Me' Meaning
Lyrics
When I was little, my mama said to me
Recollection of advice from the singer's mother during childhood about finding enduring love.
"One day you'll find a love to last eternally"
The anticipation or hope for a lasting, eternal love in the future.
I want you with me everywhere I go
Desire for the presence and companionship of the beloved everywhere.
So please don't leave me baby, I love you so
Expressing love and pleading for the partner not to leave.
I'll be the ruler of this whole wide world
Claiming the intent to possess great power or authority with the partner's commitment.
If you will only say you'll be my girl
Requesting the partner to affirm their relationship by being together.
I want you with me in everything I do
Desire for the partner's involvement and support in all aspects of life.
You know I need you baby, I'm in love with you
Expressing a deep need for the partner and professing love.
There is no mountain that I can't climb
Confidence in overcoming challenges, implying the strength of their relationship.
You find the mountain, child, and I'll find the time
Assuring readiness to devote time and effort to support the partner in facing obstacles.
I want you with me, with me night and day
Desire for constant companionship throughout day and night.
Well, you can make me happy baby, don't you go away
Emphasizing the partner's ability to bring happiness and a plea not to leave.
I'll swim an ocean with a raging foam
Expressing willingness to face great challenges for the relationship's sake.
If I know that you'll be there when I come back home
Seeking reassurance of the partner's presence upon return from challenges.
I want you with me, you know I love you so
Reiterating love and the strong desire to have the partner always close.
Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go
Reaffirming the commitment to never let go of the partner.
Well, I want you with me baby, I'll never let you go
Final declaration of the unyielding desire to keep the partner by their side.
