Lyrics

Oh oh I really wanted that thing

I desired that particular thing intensely

I just want to sing

I simply want to express myself through singing

I love you baby

Expressing love, addressing a significant other as "baby"

Won't you bring

Requesting the person to bring something

All the flowers you

Alluding to flowers located in the garden

Find out in the garden

Encouraging exploration in the garden

Don't tell me the truth

Discouraging the revelation of painful truths

That your heart has hardened

Suggesting emotional hardening in the person's heart


But you don't want me anymore

Expressing the speaker's realization of being unwanted

How can it be

Pondering the impossibility of the situation

Look what you've done to me

Reflecting on the impact of the person's actions on the speaker


Oh oh

Reiteration of desire or longing

Oh oh the bee does quickly sting

Comparing the sting of a bee to a quick and unexpected action

I was wondering

Expressing curiosity or contemplation

If you could maybe darling

Possibly questioning the person's thoughts or intentions

Think? I'd give everything

Offering everything in exchange for forgiveness

If you'd grant my love a pardon

Seeking mercy for the speaker's love

And all the fruits

Anticipating the positive outcome of love – a fruitful garden

Again would fill the garden

(No specific information provided)


But you don't want me anymore

Reiteration of the speaker's perceived rejection

How can it be?

Repeating the questioning of the situation

Look what you've done to me

Reiterating the impact of the person's actions on the speaker


Oh oh

Reiteration of desire or longing

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh (and so on)

Continuation of desire, expressed musically
