Only Wanna Be with You
Yearning Melodies: Embracing Differences and Love in 'Only Wanna Be with You'
Lyrics
You and me, we come from different worlds
You and I are from different backgrounds or perspectives.
You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls
You mock me when I show interest in other women.
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
At times, you behave irrationally, and you question the reasons behind it.
I'm such a baby 'cause the dolphins make me cry
I am emotionally sensitive, as even dolphins can make me cry.
Well there's nothing I can do
I feel helpless, unable to change certain circumstances.
I've been looking for a girl like you
I've been seeking a partner like you.
You look at me, you've got nothing left to say
You look at me without anything to say.
I'll only pout at you until I get my way
I will sulk until I get what I want from you.
I won't dance, you won't sing
I won't engage in certain activities, and you won't express yourself through singing.
I just want to love you but you wanna wear my ring
I desire a deeper commitment, but you are hesitant.
Well there's nothing I can do
I'm resigned to the situation, unable to change it.
I only wanna be with you
All I want is to be with you.
You can call me your fool
You can consider me foolish for my choices.
I only wanna be with you
My sole desire is to be with you.
Put on a little Dylan sitting on a fence
Listening to Bob Dylan while contemplating or undecided.
I say that line is great, you ask me what I meant by
Expressing admiration for a particular line, prompting a question about its meaning.
Said, I shot a man named Gray, took his wife to Italy
Narrating a story of shooting a man named Gray and inheriting wealth from his wife.
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me
An unexpected windfall due to the death of someone, emphasizing luck.
I can't help it if I'm lucky
Expressing that luck is beyond one's control.
I only wanna be with you
Reiterating the desire to be with the partner.
Ain't Bobby so cool
Complimenting someone named Bobby.

I only wanna be with you
Repeating the strong desire to be with the partner.
You can call me your fool
Addressing the partner's potential perception of foolishness.
Only wanna be with you
Reiterating the exclusive desire to be with the partner.
Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever end
Contemplating the potential continuation or resolution of a situation.
You get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Your displeasure when I spend time with friends bothers me.
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
Similar to line 3, expressing confusion about irrational behavior.
I'm such a baby yeah, the dolphins make me cry
Reiterating emotional sensitivity, specifically to dolphins.
Well there's nothing I can do
Feeling helpless and resigned in a certain situation.
I only wanna be with you

Accepting the possibility of being considered a fool.
