Lyrics
I'd like to love you baby
Expresses a desire to love someone
And keep my other baby too
Wants to maintain a relationship with another person as well
Put my arms around you,
Desires physical closeness by putting arms around the person
That's all I want to do
States that this is the primary wish or goal
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
Even in challenging times, having the person brings comfort
I know I've got you
Confirms the enduring nature of the relationship
I'd like to love you baby
Reiterates the desire to love the person
And keep my other baby too
Reaffirms the intention to maintain a relationship with another
Sometimes my baby's sleeping,
Acknowledges the variability in the availability of the other person
Sometimes she's not around
Describes the unpredictable presence of the second person
Sometimes I look to find her,
Expresses a search for the person when absent
I know she'll put me down
Awareness that the person may reject or disappoint
Oh, won't you let me hold you,
Asks for physical closeness and emotional support
Let me lean on you
Expresses a desire to rely on the person emotionally
I'd like to love you baby
Reiterates the primary wish to love the person
And keep my other baby too
Maintaining a relationship with another is emphasized again
If the sun don't shine tomorrow,
Repeats the idea that the person is a source of comfort
I know I've got you
Confirms the enduring nature of the relationship, even in difficult times
I'd like to love you baby
Reiterates the desire to love the person
And keep my other baby too
Affirms the intention to maintain a relationship with another
