Love This Time
Seeking Love's Assurance: Joanna Field's Yearning Melody
Lyrics
I played the game
I engaged in the romantic pursuit
And took my chances
Took risks and embraced opportunities
Dancing round the party lights
Danced under the enchanting lights of a party
A night full of laughter
Experienced a night filled with joy and laughter
A dollar's worth of dancing
Spent time dancing, perhaps metaphorically valuing experiences
Gets old night after night
Repetition of routine becomes tiresome over time
But what's a girl to do when she needs somebody
Faced with the need for companionship
To take her home and tell her sweet lies
Desire for someone to take her home and provide comforting lies
All I wanna do
Primary desire is to find a romantic partner
Is find me somebody to
Expresses the intent to find a companion
I need to know that it's love this time (I need to know)
Emphasizes the need for genuine love
Don't wanna spend my whole life trying
Does not want to spend life in futile pursuits
I need to know, I need to know
Reiterates the urgency of knowing it's true love
That it's love this time
Stresses the importance of authentic love
I need to know that you stay with me (I need to know)
Expresses the need for commitment and loyalty
I need to know that you'll never leave
Desires assurance that the partner won't leave
I need to know, I need to know
Reiterates the urgency of knowing it's true love
That it's love this time
Stresses the importance of authentic love
My mama told me not to
Recalls maternal advice to avoid strangers
Talk to strangers
Caution against engaging with unfamiliar individuals
She said I'd only get used
Warning that a fleeting romance may lead to pain
And one night of love
Argues that one night of love is worth the risks
Is worth all the dangers
Choosing temporary happiness to avoid long-term sadness
To keep from having the blues
Preventing emotional distress
I get so tired of playing games
Frustration with repetitive games
Cold grey dawns and forgotten names
Alludes to the monotony of post-party mornings
All I wanna do
Reiterates the desire for companionship
Is find me somebody to
Expresses the intent to find a companion
I need to know that it's love this time (I need to know)
Emphasizes the need for genuine love
Don't wanna spend my whole life trying
Does not want to spend life in futile pursuits
I need to know, I need to know
Reiterates the urgency of knowing it's true love
That it's love this time
Stresses the importance of authentic love
I need to know that you stay with me (I need to know)
Expresses the need for commitment and loyalty
I need to know that you'll never leave
Desires assurance that the partner won't leave
I need to know, I need to know
Reiterates the urgency of knowing it's true love
That it's love this time
Stresses the importance of authentic love
I need to know that it's love this time (I need to know)
Emphasizes the need for genuine love
Don't wanna spend my whole life trying
Does not want to spend life in futile pursuits
I need to know, I need to know
Reiterates the urgency of knowing it's true love
That it's love this time
Stresses the importance of authentic love
I need to know that you'll stay with me
Expresses the need for commitment and loyalty
I need to know that you'll never leave
Desires assurance that the partner
