I Want to Take You Higher
Yearning for Yesterday: Ike & Tina's Soulful Journey through Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
Oh darling, I'm so lonely without you
Feeling intense loneliness and longing for the absent partner.
Can't sleep at night, always think about you
Insomnia due to constant thoughts about the absent partner.
But if I had the chance to start all over
Expressing a desire for a fresh start or a second chance in the relationship.
I would be wishing today on a four leaf clover
Symbolizing hope for luck and positive change through the reference to a four-leaf clover.
And leaving you with the last thing on my mind
Choosing to leave the partner with regret, indicating a significant decision.
If I could turn back the hands of time
Wishing for the ability to reverse time and undo past actions, possibly to avoid the regretful decision.
Oh darling, I can't hold out much longer
Expressing the emotional struggle and the inability to endure the pain for much longer.
Oh, the pain's so deep, and the hurt is getting stronger
Highlighting the deep emotional pain that is intensifying over time.
But if I had just one more try
Desiring another opportunity to make amends or improve the relationship.
I would be yours, yours alone until the day I die
Promising long-lasting commitment and devotion if given a second chance.
And we would have a love so divine
Envisioning a profound and heavenly love if the past could be changed.
If I could turn back the hands of time
Reiterating the desire to reverse time and correct past mistakes.
Oh darling, please, please let me come back home
Begging for reconciliation and a return to the place called home.
Your love has been so good to me, baby
Expressing gratitude for the partner's love and acknowledging its positive impact.
And I just relied without it
Admitting dependence on the partner's love and inability to function without it.
I can't go on, and you're the other half
Conveying the partner's crucial role in completing and fulfilling the singer's life.
That makes my life complete
Stressing the partner's significance in making life whole and meaningful.
If I had one more chance, we'd have a love so sweet
Desiring another opportunity to build a sweet and fulfilling love with the partner.
