It's good to meet you - how you doin'
Expressing a greeting and asking how the person is doing
I haven't seen your face before
Noticing the person's unfamiliar face
Yeah I'm alone here - noticed you the minute
Acknowledging being alone and noticing the person upon their entrance
You walked through the door
Observing the person's arrival through the door
It's getting late and so much time is wasted
Highlighting the lateness of the hour and the potential for wasted time
Dancing on the floor
Referring to dancing on the floor
And making small talk
Mentioning engaging in small talk
I've been through that before
Indicating previous experiences with similar situations
How do you want my love
Pose a question about how the person desires to receive love
You know they told me - keep your distance
Receiving advice to maintain distance in romantic relationships
Got to play love by the rules
Advising to adhere to love-related rules
And I believed them wound up losing
Expressing belief in the advice but ultimately facing heartbreak
Love left me for a fool
Reflecting on being left as a fool in love
I know I'm not the only one
Acknowledging that others share the experience of love's challenges
Who knows what love can do
Recognizing the unpredictable nature of love
It's in your eyes
Observing emotional pain in the person's eyes
You've been hurt the same way too
Suggesting the person has experienced similar hurt in love
How do you want my love
Repeating the question about how the person desires love
How do you want my love tonight
Repeating the question with a focus on the current night
How do you want my love
Repeating the question, emphasizing the desire for love
How do you want my love tonight
Repeating the question with a focus on the current night
Here with you I can smile away the pain
Expressing the ability to find joy and mask pain when with the person
Make believe I can fall in love again
Imagining the possibility of falling in love again
Won't you tell me your name
Requesting the person's name
How do you want my love
Reiterating the question about how the person desires love
The party's over - there's people leaving
Noting the end of the party and people leaving
Friend saying their goodbyes
Mentioning friends saying their goodbyes
So come on over - I'll make you coffee
Inviting the person to come over and offering coffee
No need to end the night
Suggesting there's no need to end the night
