Lover Man
Yearning for Love: Unveiling the Emotion in Maria Muldaur's 'Lover Man'
Lyrics
I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I'm experiencing sadness, and I don't understand the reason behind it.
I long to try something I've never had
I have a desire to try something new or unfamiliar in my life.
Never had no kissin', oh, what I've been missin'
I have never experienced kissing, and I feel the absence of it in my life.
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Expressing a longing for a lover and wondering where that person is.
The night is cold and I'm so all alone
It's nighttime, and I feel the chill of loneliness.
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
I am willing to give anything to have you as my own.
Got a moon above me, but there's no one to love me
Although there is a moon above, there is no one to love and share it with.
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Expressing the same sentiment as line 4, wondering where the lover is.
I've heard it said
There's a common saying or belief.
That the thrill of romance can be
The excitement of romance is often compared to...
Like a heavenly dream
A beautiful, dreamlike experience.
I go to bed with a prayer
I go to bed with the hope and prayer that you will make love to me.
That you'll make love to me
This act of love is envisioned as a heavenly dream.
Strange as it seems
Despite being strange or unlikely.
Someday we'll meet
Someday in the future, we will meet.
And you'll dry all my tears
At that time, you will comfort and console me, drying my tears.
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
You will share sweet and intimate words with me.
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Expressing the desire for hugging and kissing.
Oh, what I've been missin'
Reiterating the absence of these intimate experiences in life.
Lover man oh where can you be
Similar to lines 4 and 9, expressing a yearning for the lover.
Oh, what I've been missin'
Repeating the sentiment from line 22, emphasizing the absence of love.
Lover man, oh, where can you be
Reiterating the question about the whereabouts of the lover.
