Lyrics
Listen to me, cause I told you
Asserting the need for attention to what's being said
I understand the situation
Understanding the circumstances or context
You came as a sweet surprise
Expressing pleasant surprise at someone's arrival or presence
Time was right on me to
Sensing the right moment to communicate
Talk through every complication
Dealing with and discussing every complication openly
You gone, baby don't stress about it
Encouraging someone not to worry about their absence
Time will do it's thing for you and me
Belief in time's ability to resolve issues for both
Every man's gonna have to compete
Every man will have to strive to match up
With the 9 and the beach, know what I mean
Reference to a place (9 and the beach) with significance
Sugar?
A term of endearment or familiarity
Still find ya lookin' me at that way, oh
Noting the familiar way someone looks at the speaker
And the love is i know, I know
Acknowledging familiarity and depth of love
I know, always have a piece of you
Acknowledging that a piece of the person will always be in the heart
In my heart i know, I know
Reaffirmation of having a part of the person in the heart
I know, always have a piece of you
Repeated affirmation of holding a part of the person in the heart
In my heart
Reiteration of having a piece of the person within
I won't be the last to tell you
Not being the last to appreciate the person's qualities
What you got to give is so good
Acknowledging the value of what the person offers
I know that I shouldn't take it
Knowing it might not be right to take what's offered
Shouldn't take it, oh
Emphasizing the struggle of not wanting to take something
Every part of me wishes that I could
Wishing to take what's offered but resisting
But i'm not gonna stress about it
Not stressing over the situation
Time gifted me a bit of the sweet
Time providing a bit of sweetness in the situation
With the 9 and the beach, know what I mean
Reference to a place (9 and the beach) with significance
Sugar? Don't wanna spoil a good thing
Avoiding ruining a good situation
So i'm gonna have to let you go
Deciding to let go for the better
I know, I know
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
I know, always have a piece of you
Knowing there's a journey ahead
In my heart (Know I got a bit to go)
Acknowledgment of having a way to go
I know, I know
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
I know, always have a piece of you
Knowing there's progress to be made
In my heart (Know I got a bit to go)
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
I know, I know
Understanding there's still a journey ahead
I know, always have a piece of you
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
In my heart (Know I got a bit to go)
Acknowledgment of the progress made
I know, I know
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
I know, always have a piece of you
Acknowledging the journey's continuation
In my heart (Know I got a bit to go)
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
I know, I know
Acknowledging the ongoing presence of the person in the heart
I know, always have a piece of you
Repeated acknowledgment of having a piece of the person in the heart
In my heart
Acknowledging the everlasting place of the person in the heart
