To Love Somebody
Yearning Light: A Love Unveiled in Jackie DeShannon's Melody
Lyrics
There's a light a certain kind of light
Expressing a unique and special light that has not illuminated the speaker's life before.
That never shone on me i want my life to be
Desire for a life filled with a blend of the speaker's essence and the beloved's essence.
A little bit you a little bit me
Describing an ideal relationship with a mutual exchange of each other's qualities.
There's a way everybody said
Reference to a recommended or commonly known way of doing things.
To do each and every little thing
Highlighting the insignificance of following such advice when the beloved is absent.
Oh, but what good does it bring
Raising a rhetorical question about the usefulness of following advice without the presence of the beloved.
If I ain't got you ain't got you?
Emphasizing the importance of having the beloved for any advice to be valuable.
You don't know what it's like
Conveying the idea that the listener lacks the experience of loving somebody deeply.
You don't know what it's like
Reiteration of the listener's lack of understanding regarding profound love.
To love somebody to love somebody
Expressing the intensity of loving somebody deeply.
Way I love you
Describing the unique way in which the speaker loves the listener.
In my prayer i see your face again
Linking thoughts of the beloved to moments of prayer, suggesting a spiritual connection.
I know my frame of mind
Acknowledging the speaker's mental state and hoping for the listener's understanding.
You ain't got to be so blind and I'm glad
Expressing joy and gratitude for the listener's understanding.
So, so, so glad
Reiterating the speaker's happiness and contentment.
I'm a woman can't you see what I am?
Asserting the speaker's identity as a woman and expressing her plea for the listener's recognition.
And I make my plea for you
Making a direct appeal for acknowledgment from the listener.
Oh, but what good does it do
Questioning the significance of the appeal if the listener is not present.
If I ain't got you ain't got you?
Emphasizing the importance of the listener's presence for the appeal to have meaning.
You don't know what it's like
Reiteration of the listener's lack of understanding regarding profound love.
