I Second That Emotion
Emotional Echoes: A Yearning for Unconditional Love
Lyrics
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
Expressing the desire for sweet kisses, possibly short-lived.
But only for one night with no repeat.
Emphasizing a preference for a brief encounter without repetition.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
Suggesting the possibility of the person leaving without staying in touch.
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Comparing a fleeting experience to a taste of honey, implying it's better than nothing.
Oh little girl!
Addressing the subject with affection, possibly the person being referred to.
In that case I don't want nobody
Declaring a preference for solitude if the alternative is heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that involvement with others would lead to heartbreak.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Open to love if the other person reciprocates.
If you got the notion,
Expressing a willingness to accept affection.
I second that emotion.
Affirming agreement or support for the emotion of love.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
If the other person is committed, expressing a reciprocal commitment.
I second that emotion.
Reiterating support for the emotion of love and devotion.
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
Suggesting concerns about love restricting freedom.
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Indicating a lack of time for a committed relationship.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
Highlighting the perception that love can lead to foolishness.
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Considering breaking the rules as a wise choice to avoid being a fool in love.
Oh little girl!
Repeating affectionate addressing of the person in question.
In that case I don't want nobody
Reiterating a preference for solitude to avoid heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that involvement with others would lead to heartbreak (repeated).
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Open to love if the other person reciprocates (repeated).
If you got the notion,
Expressing a willingness to accept affection (repeated).
I second that emotion.
Reaffirming support for the emotion of love.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
If the other person is committed, expressing a reciprocal commitment (repeated).
I second that emotion.
Reiterating support for the emotion of love and devotion (repeated).
In that case I don't want nobody
Reiterating a preference for solitude to avoid heartbreak (repeated).
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that involvement with others would lead to heartbreak (repeated).
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Open to love if the other person reciprocates (repeated).
If you got the notion,
Expressing a willingness to accept affection (repeated).
I second that emotion.
Reaffirming support for the emotion of love (repeated).
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
If the other person is committed, expressing a reciprocal commitment (repeated).
I second that emotion.
Reiterating support for the emotion of love and devotion (repeated).
