The Flesh
Yearning for Connection: The Flesh's Emotional Plea
Lyrics
You know i want to give it to
You know I want to be intimate with you
You know I want to give it to you baby
Expressing the desire to give physical affection to the partner
But baby what can I do
Feeling helpless or uncertain about the situation
You came in the house all crazy
Partner entered the home in a disturbed or agitated state
Heard you saying that you had a bad day and
Partner had a challenging day, expressing concern
You know I want to give it to you
Reiterating the desire to be close despite the challenges
You know i want to give it to you
Reaffirming the intention to be intimate
But baby what can I do
Expressing confusion about how to proceed given the partner's mood
Don't lie you ain't been in the mood lately
Pointing out the partner's recent lack of interest in intimacy
It's got you acting fugazi
Observing a change in the partner's behavior, possibly insincere
Give it to me baby
Requesting physical affection
I'll be scratching ya back
Willingness to reciprocate affection by scratching the partner's back
But if you keep it from baby I won't know how to act
Expressing the importance of open communication
In fact, struggling to keep my pride intact
Struggling to maintain self-esteem while facing rejection
When you turning me down
Feeling emotionally attacked when rejected
I be feeling attacked
Emphasizing the impact of rejection on emotional well-being
You know you had me since I met you boo
Acknowledging a deep connection with the partner since the beginning
Lay back relax and let me talk to you
Encouraging the partner to relax and engage in conversation
You know I just want to provide for you
Expressing a desire to provide and support the partner
This day and age and I would die for you
Ready to make sacrifices for the partner's well-being
But you
Highlighting the partner's apparent lack of concern
You, you just don't care about me
Reiterating the partner's indifference or neglect
Or maybe you, you just don't care
Suspecting that the partner may not care about personal needs
For my needs
Expressing a sense of unmet needs or desires
Well you got to sympathize my love
Asking for understanding due to a week-long struggle
Cause It's been a week
Emphasizing the duration of emotional turmoil
And you got to realize my love
Requesting acknowledgment of the emotional challenges
That the flesh is weak
Acknowledging the human tendency to succumb to desires
Do you want it, do you want it, do you want it
Seeking confirmation of the partner's desire for intimacy
I said do you want it, do you want it, do you want it
Repeating the question about the partner's desire for intimacy
Do you love me baby
Inquiring about the depth of the partner's love
Could you tell me baby
Seeking reassurance and affirmation of love
But you
Reiterating the partner's apparent lack of concern
You just don't care about me
Expressing doubt about the partner's care for personal needs
Or maybe you, ya just don't care
Suspecting a lack of consideration for personal needs
For my needs
Reiterating the sense of unmet needs or desires
Well you got to sympathize my love
Asking for empathy due to a week-long struggle
Cause It's been a week
Emphasizing the prolonged emotional challenges
And you got to realize my love
Repeating the call for understanding the weakness of human desires
That the flesh is weak
(Blank line, no specific content)
Yea, yea, yea
Expressing agreement or affirmation
Yea, yea, yea
Repeating the expression of agreement or affirmation
