Embraceable You
Captivating Love Unveiled: Etta James' Embraceable You
Lyrics
Dozens of guys would storm up;
Feeling pursued by numerous suitors.
I had to lock my door,
Taking measures to keep others out.
Somehow I couldn't warm up
Struggling to connect emotionally with others.
To one before.
Difficulty forming a deep connection before.
What was it that controlled me?
Questioning factors influencing her behavior.
What kept my love-life lean?
Wondering why her romantic life is unsatisfying.
My intuition told me
Intuition suggesting someone special will enter her life.
You'd come on the scene.
Anticipating the arrival of a significant person.
Baby, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat,
Encouraging the listener to feel her heartbeat's rhythm.
And you'll get just what I mean.
Assuring understanding if one pays attention to the heartbeat.
Embrace me,
Expressing a desire to be embraced.
My sweet embraceable you.
Addressing the special person to embrace her.
Embrace me,
Reiterating the need for the irreplaceable person to embrace.
You irreplaceable you.
Emphasizing the unique and special nature of the person.
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me.
Feeling intoxicated by the presence of the special person.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
Attributing a sense of adventure and excitement to the person.
I love all
Expressing love for various appealing qualities.
The many charms about you;
Admiring the charming aspects of the special person.
Above all,
Above all, prioritizing the desire to hold the person.
I want my arms about you.
Expressing a longing to be physically close.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Playfully urging the person to come closer.
Come to papa, come to papa, do!
Inviting the person affectionately.
My sweet embraceable you.
Reiterating the desire to be embraced by the special person.
I love all
Repeating admiration for various appealing qualities.
The many charms about you;
Continuing to express love for the person's charms.
Above all,
Emphasizing the desire to hold the person above all.
I want my arms about you.
Reiterating the longing to be physically close.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Playfully urging the person to come closer once again.
Come to papa, come to papa, do!
Affectionately inviting the person once more.
My sweet embraceable you.
Concluding with the enduring desire to be embraced.
