Leave Ya
Captivated by Love: Nicole Rose's 'Leave Ya' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
Five more minutes
Expressing a desire for a few more minutes.
That's it for sure
Confirming the limited time available.
I should resist it
Acknowledging the need to resist something.
but I want you more
Admitting a strong desire for the person.
It's a sickness
Describing the attraction as a sickness.
And you're the cure
Viewing the person as a remedy for the attraction.
I know I'll feel it when I'm walking out the door
Anticipating regret upon leaving.
Get dressed, but I'm stuck to you like static
Feeling emotionally connected and reluctant to separate.
Spellbound in your magic love
Captivated by the enchanting love of the person.
Helpless, and I've tried to kick the habit
Expressing helplessness and unsuccessful attempts to break a habit.
Baby, now I'm giving up
Conveying resignation and surrender to the attraction.
Why you gotta go and make it so damn hard to leave ya
Questioning the difficulty imposed on leaving the person.
Every time I see ya, know I got a keeper
Acknowledging the person as a valuable companion.
Boy you gotta know you make one hour turn to three, yeah
Noting the person's ability to extend time together.
Now I'm falling deeper
Describing a growing emotional connection.
Damn, it's hard to leave ya
Expressing the emotional challenge of parting.
Spilled my coffee rushing out
Highlighting distractions and clumsiness due to thoughts of the person.
I could use another dose of you right about now
Expressing a desire for more time with the person.
Missed my exit, don't even care
Ignoring responsibilities due to preoccupation with the person.
You steal my focus even when you're not there
Emphasizing the captivating nature of the person even in their absence.
I guess I could blame it on the traffic, say it's why I'm late again
Blaming lateness on traffic, but it's actually due to thoughts of the person.
It's hopeless, and I've tried to kick the habit
Acknowledging the difficulty in resisting the attraction.
Baby, now I'm giving in
Accepting and giving in to the attraction.
Why you gotta go and make it so damn hard to leave ya
Reiterating the challenge of leaving the person.
Every time I see ya, know I got a keeper
Affirming the person's value in the singer's life.
Boy you gotta know you make one hour turn to three, yeah
Noting the time distortion caused by the person's presence.
Now I'm falling deeper
Describing a deepening emotional connection.
Damn, it's hard to leave ya
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of parting.
Why you gotta, why you gotta go
Questioning the necessity of leaving repeatedly.
Why you gotta, why you gotta go
-Why you gotta, why you gotta go
-Why you gotta, why you gotta go
-It's hopeless, and I've tried to kick the habit
Reinforcing the difficulty in breaking the attraction habit.
Baby, now I'm giving in
Acknowledging and giving in to the attraction.
Oh why you gotta go
Reiterating the challenge of leaving the person.
Why you gotta go and make it so damn hard to leave ya
Questioning the hardship imposed on leaving.
Every time I see ya, know I got a keeper
