Lyrics

My love

Expressing affection or deep connection

Although it's complicated

Acknowledging the complexity of the relationship

Only you can stimulate it

Emphasizing the unique ability of the partner to excite feelings of love

With your love

Highlighting the significant impact of the partner's love

Yeah, and my love

Reiterating the depth of personal affection

Although you can ignite it

Noting the partner's power to kindle emotions

Dwells as unrequited love

Describing unreciprocated love as a dwelling place

And every night I lay awake in bed

Expressing nightly contemplation about the partner

All I think of is you

Stating exclusive focus on thoughts of the partner

And I know it's in my head

Acknowledging awareness that thoughts may be subjective

Even though what I have is true

Recognizing the truth of the current relationship

And I've been waiting for ages and

Conveying a sense of prolonged anticipation

Ages for you to come through

Expressing patience while waiting for the partner

But you never do

Noting a consistent lack of the partner's arrival

If only I could make you

Expressing a desire to influence the partner's feelings

Love me

Desiring reciprocated love

The way that I do

Comparing the desired love to the current unrequited love

Then you would see

Asserting that understanding requires reciprocation

Everything that I go through

Highlighting the challenges faced in the relationship

And what we could be

Expressing potential for a fulfilling relationship

Because you know you're all I ever want

Affirming the partner as the sole desire

And you're all I need

Reiterating the partner's crucial role in life

I said you're all I need

Repeating the declaration of the partner's significance

Oh oh yeah yeah

Expressing emotions with vocalizations

Oooh yeah

Additional vocalizations for emotional emphasis

Girl you're playing the strings of my heart

Metaphorically describing the partner's impact on emotions

And I know

Acknowledging the partner's prior knowledge about the speaker

You always knew about me

Indicating a feeling of being trapped in the partner's love

But now I'm stuck as a pawn of your love

Expressing a sense of being controlled by the partner's affection

Because you know you're all I ever want

Reiterating the partner's central importance

If only I could make you

Expressing a desire for reciprocal love

Love me

Repeating the desire for the partner's love

The way that I do

Comparing the intensity of feelings for the partner

Then you would see

Asserting that understanding requires reciprocation

Everything that I go through

Highlighting the challenges faced in the relationship

And what we could be

Expressing potential for a fulfilling relationship

Because you know you're all I ever want

Affirming the partner as the sole desire

And you're all I need

Reiterating the partner's crucial role in life

I said you're all I need

Repeating the declaration of the partner's significance

Ooh yeah

Additional vocalizations for emotional emphasis

Because you know you're all I ever want

Affirming the partner as the sole desire

And you're all I need

Reiterating the partner's crucial role in life
