Lyrics
I can't deny
Acknowledging the inability to refuse
You by my side
Expressing the presence of the other person
Only for the night, the night
Committing to being together only for the night
And even if you try
Suggesting resistance from the other person
You can't deny
Stating the impossibility of denying one's presence
Me by your side, tonight
Asserting personal presence for the night
Too late, you treat me like a letdown
Feeling disappointed in how one is treated
But you know I'm the one you can't forget now
Claiming to be unforgettable despite the letdown
You face your actions coming back now
Confronting consequences of actions returning
But you hate I'm the one you can't forget now
Acknowledging dislike despite being memorable
In exchange for your heart
Referring to a transaction of emotions
I gave my time and my soul
Offering time and soul in exchange for love
All the things that you want
Surrendering to fulfill the other's desires
I gave up all my hope
Giving up hope in the process of giving
I can't deny
Reiterating the inability to deny presence
You by my side
Reaffirming the presence by one's side for the night
Only for the night, the night
Emphasizing the temporal nature of togetherness
And even if you try
Addressing attempts to resist connection
You can't deny
Highlighting the persistence of personal presence
Me by your side, tonight
Insisting on being together tonight
Oh, they will never know
Acknowledging secrecy or lack of understanding
That, in exchange for your heart
Repeating the concept of exchanging for love
I gave it all for you
Stressing the complete dedication to the other
I gave my time and my soul
Reiterating the offer of time and soul for love
I gave it all for you, for you
Confirming giving everything for the other person
All the things that you want
Repeating the act of giving for the other's desires
All the things, all the things, all the things
Emphasizing the abundance of offerings
Girl I was under your control
Acknowledging being under the influence or control
I was under your control
Repeating the acknowledgment of being controlled
I can't deny
Reiterating the inability to deny personal presence
You by my side
Restating the commitment to be together for the night
Only for the night, the night
Emphasizing the temporary nature of the connection
And even if you try
Addressing resistance or denial attempts
You can't deny
Reaffirming the persistence of personal presence
Me by your side, tonight
Insisting on being together tonight
