I Second That Emotion
Emotional Dilemmas: Navigating Love's Complex Dance
Lyrics
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
Expressing a desire for affectionate kisses
But only for one night with no repeat.
Requesting brief intimacy without a commitment to repeat
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
Suggesting the possibility of separation and no future communication
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Comparing a small taste of happiness to none at all
Oh little girl!
An affectionate term, possibly directed at a younger person
In that case I don't want nobody
Expressing a preference for solitude over potential heartbreak
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that pursuing a relationship would lead to heartbreak
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Openness to love if the other person desires
If you got the notion,
Acknowledging a potential romantic inclination
I second that emotion.
Agreeing with or supporting the emotional inclination
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Expressing willingness to commit for a lifetime
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with the emotional commitment
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
Suspecting that love may be constricting or demanding
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Not having time for a committed relationship
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
Perceiving love as potentially foolish
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Choosing wisdom by breaking conventional relationship norms
Oh little girl!
Endearing term, possibly directed at a younger person
In that case I don't want nobody
Reiterating a preference for solitude to avoid heartbreak
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that pursuing a relationship would lead to heartbreak
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Openness to love if the other person desires
If you got the notion,
Acknowledging a potential romantic inclination
I second that emotion.
Agreeing with or supporting the emotional inclination
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Expressing willingness to commit for a lifetime
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with the emotional commitment
In that case I don't want nobody
Reiterating a preference for solitude to avoid heartbreak
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that pursuing a relationship would lead to heartbreak
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Openness to love if the other person desires
If you got the notion,
Acknowledging a potential romantic inclination
I second that emotion.
Agreeing with or supporting the emotional inclination
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Expressing willingness to commit for a lifetime
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with the emotional commitment
