Lyrics
Well only you know what your thinkin'
Expressing the idea that only the person knows their thoughts.
Come on say what's on your mind
Encouraging the person to openly share their thoughts.
Tell me one way or the other
Asking for a clear decision or expression of feelings.
I ain't got much time
Indicating a limited time available for a response.
Gimme what's mine, gimme what's mine
Reiterating the request for what is rightfully theirs.
Well I don't want you to be wastin'
Expressing a desire to avoid wasting time or affection.
All my lovin' or my time
Clarifying the importance of not wasting love or time.
So I got to know the story
Seeking to understand the situation or background.
I know we can be so fine
Believing that the relationship has the potential to be great.
Please gimme what's mine, gimme what's mine
Repeating the plea for what rightfully belongs to them.
How can I get through to you woman
Expressing difficulty in communicating with the person.
I think your lovin' is fine
Appreciating the quality of the person's love.
Only want what's given
Stating a preference for receiving only what is freely given.
Only give you what's mine
Committing to reciprocate with what rightfully belongs to them.
Yeah sometimes when I see you
Expressing fear or hesitation when facing the person.
I'm scared to state my case
Feeling the need to present their case cautiously.
Got to take my chances
Acknowledging the necessity of taking risks in relationships.
Will you leave or will you stay?
Pondering the possibility of the person leaving or staying.
Got to know the way, got to know the way
Emphasizing the importance of knowing the direction of the relationship.
I'm so tired of waitin'
Expressing impatience and weariness with waiting.
Somethin' that I got to know
Highlighting the urgency of obtaining crucial information.
If there's one chance that you love me
Linking the person's love to the need for growth in the relationship.
Then we got to let it grow
Stressing the importance of allowing the relationship to develop.
We got to let it grow, we got to let it grow
Repeating the idea that the relationship needs to evolve.
I just got to get through to you woman
Expressing a strong desire to connect with the person.
I want your lovin' so bad
Communicating a deep longing for the person's love.
I'll take all that you give me
Being willing to accept everything the person offers.
I'll give you all that's mine.
Committing to giving everything that rightfully belongs to them.
