I'm Only in It for the Love
In Pursuit of Everlasting Love: John Conlee's Musical Declaration
Lyrics
There's something you got that really gets me going
Expressing admiration for a quality in the person that excites the speaker.
It's hard to believe the way the feelings growing
Acknowledging the surprising and strong growth of emotions.
Let me say before my heart starts showing
Declaring the speaker's feelings before they become evident.
I'm only in it for the love
Stating the speaker's primary motivation – being involved for love.
I want you to know you got my full attention
Affirming undivided attention towards the person.
And every move is with my best intention
Ensuring that the speaker's actions are well-intentioned.
Before we go on I thought I aught to mention
Disclosing an important fact before proceeding further.
I'm only in it for the love
Reiterating the primary motive – being in it for the love.
I'm only in it for the love and affection
Emphasizing that the speaker seeks love and affection only.
I think I'm heading in the right direction
Expressing confidence in moving towards a positive outcome.
Hence the question that I'm really asking
Posing a crucial question about the desire for everlasting love.
Is do you want a love that's everlasting
Questioning the potential for a love that stands the test of time.
So many times I let my heart get broken
Reflecting on past experiences of heartbreak.
I close my eyes and left my heart wide open
Recalling vulnerability by closing eyes and leaving the heart exposed.
Now I only deal in real emotions
Committing to dealing only with genuine emotions.
I'm only in it for the love
Reiterating the main motive – being in it for the love.
I'm only in it for the love and affection
Reaffirming the focus on love and affection.
I think I'm heading in the right direction
Continuing with confidence in the chosen path.
