Security
Yearning for Security: Otis Redding's Soulful Quest
Lyrics
I want security, yeah
The singer desires security.
Without it I had a great loss, oh now
Lacking security caused significant personal loss.
Security, yeah
Expressing the continued desire for security.
And I want it at any cost, oh now
Willing to obtain security at any cost.
Don't want no money, right muh now, muh now, muh now
Money and fame are not the singer's current priorities.
I don't want no fame
The singer doesn't desire fame.
But security I have all of these things, yeah
Despite having money and fame, security is still sought.
All of these things, yeah, now
Emphasizing the importance of security over material possessions.
Security, yeah
Repeated emphasis on the desire for security.
That's all I want from you, oh now
Security is the sole expectation from someone else.
Security, yeah
Reiterating the need for security along with genuine love.
And a little love that will be true, oh
Desiring sincere affection alongside security.
Those sweet tender lips you know they tells me that
The sweetness of someone's lips indicates their suitability as a partner.
You're the one for me
Recognition of someone as the ideal romantic partner.
Darling, how can I forget
The singer acknowledges the difficulty in forgetting this connection.
How can I forget, yeah now
Reiterating the struggle to forget this ideal partner.
I want security, yeah
Reiterating the strong desire for security.
I'm telling you, once say again, oh now
Emphasizing the importance once more.
Security
Continued expression of the need for security.
And I want it in the end, oh
Desire for security to be fulfilled eventually.
Those sweet tender lips you know they tells me that
Reiteration of a romantic connection based on physical intimacy.
You're the one for me
Confirmation of someone's suitability as a partner.
Darling, how can I forget
The difficulty in forgetting this ideal partner is reiterated.
How can I forget, yeah now
Continued struggle to forget this ideal partner.
Alone with just a little bit of soul, right now, now, baby
Expressing contentment with a little bit of soul, indicating inner fulfillment.
Darling, everything is gonna be alright
Reassuring that everything will be fine with the presence of the partner.
One more time, just one more time, baby
Requesting for one more affirmation or assurance.
