It Don't Take Much to Keep Me
Captivated by Love: Marvin Gaye's Soulful Plea for Simple Affection
Lyrics
It don't take much don't take much
Expresses that it doesn't require a lot to satisfy
Yeah to keep me no, not much
Reiterates it doesn't take much to maintain contentment
Just your touch just your tenderness
Emphasizes the significance of physical contact and affection
Just your sweet caress oh
Highlights the importance of a gentle touch
Just the pleasure of your company
Stresses the value of companionship for emotional fulfillment
When I feel a little lonely, to comfort me
Indicates seeking comfort in the company of a loved one
Just to to call you and know you are there
Desiring reassurance and support from the partner
Take me through my day, oh without a care
Expresses the desire for a carefree day with their presence
If you worry about me leaving
Addressing concerns about potential abandonment
Throw it out of your mind
Encourages dismissing worries about leaving
Just as long as you want me
Commitment to staying if wanted
I'll be right by your side
Promises loyalty and support
Oh, it don't take much just your touch
Reiterates the simplicity of what's needed for contentment
Yeah to keep me baby you got it
Affirms that the partner possesses what's necessary
You got it baby got what it takes
Confirms the partner's adequacy to maintain happiness
It takes to keep me to keep me
Reiterates the partner's capability to satisfy
When the days go by and
Expresses longing during absence
I don't see you darling
Acknowledges potential discontent when apart
I might start to complain
Admits the possibility of complaining due to absence
But all you gotta do is talk
Simple communication is needed to reassure
To me sweet and plain
Asking for reassurance through clear communication
Let me know your love remains
Importance of verbal affirmation for the relationship
Just say you need me, like I need you
Mutual need and dependency in the relationship
That's enough to carry me through
Reassurance and emotional support are vital
You are my world you are my everything
Expresses the partner's immense importance
You're all my eyes can see
Visualizes the partner as the primary focus
You're such a part of me
Describes the partner as an integral part of their being
It's the little things you do
Emphasizes the significance of small gestures in love
That keeps me loving you
Stresses that it's not just actions but the way they're done
It ain't what you do
Importance of mannerisms over actions themselves
It's the sweet way you do it
Emphasizes the importance of the way things are done
It ain't what you saying
Communicating sentiment is crucial in a relationship
Is the sweet way you're saying
Emphasizes the significance of how things are conveyed
Just let me know you're standing by
Importance of assurance and being present
To what my eyes, I'll be satisfied
Reassured by the partner's visible commitment
You are my world, you are my everything
Reiteration of partner's immense significance
You are all my eyes can see
Visualizes the partner as the primary focus yet again
Oh baby, you are such a part of me
Emphasizes the partner's integral role in their life
Don't take much no not much
Reaffirms the minimal requirements for contentment
Yeah to keep me baby you got it
Affirms the partner's adequacy to maintain happiness
I know you got it you know you got it baby
Confirms the partner's capability to satisfy
Got what it takes it takes to keep me
Reiterates the partner's adequacy to maintain happiness
To keep me just your tenderness
Emphasizes the importance of tenderness
That's enough baby
Reiterates the simplicity of what's needed for contentment
