I Want You
Yearning Stars: Holly Cole's Plea for Love in 'I Want You'
Lyrics
I want you, you, you
Expresses a strong desire for the person referred to as "you."
All I want is you, you, you
Reiterates the desire for the same person, emphasizing exclusivity.
All I want is you
Emphasizes the singular focus on the person desired.
I give you the stars above
Promises to offer grand, celestial gifts.
Sun on the brightest day
Symbolizes offering warmth and brightness, portraying a desire to provide happiness.
I give you all my love
Declares a complete giving of affection and devotion.
If you would only say
Depicts a condition for the affection given, expecting a reciprocal response.
I want you, you, you
Repeats the intense desire for the person, echoing the earlier lines.
All I want is you, you, you
Restates the longing for the same individual, highlighting exclusivity and persistence.
All I want is you
Reiterates the singular focus on the desired person.
I give you the stars above
Echoes the promise of celestial offerings as expressed in line 5.
Give you sun on the brightest day
Reaffirms the promise of brightness and warmth as in line 6.
I give you all my love
Reiterates the complete giving of affection and devotion as in line 7.
If you would only say
Restates the expectation of a reciprocal response to the affection given.
That I want you, you, you
Repeats the intense desire for the person, echoing the earlier lines.
All I want is you, you, you
Emphasizes the exclusivity and persistence of the desire for the same individual.
All I want is you
Restates the singular focus on the desired person.
