Lyrics

I ain't got no money

Expressing a lack of financial resources.

I ain't like those other guys you hang around

Highlighting differences from other individuals in your social circle.

It's kinda funny

Acknowledging a sense of humor or irony in the situation.

But they always seem to let you down

Observing a pattern where others disappoint or fail to meet expectations.

And I get discouraged

Feeling disheartened, possibly due to a lack of connection.

'Cause I never see you anymore

Expressing a desire for more frequent interaction.

And I need your love, babe, well

Stating the need for love as the primary focus in life.

That's all I'm living for, yeah

Emphasizing that love is the essential purpose of existence.


I didn't want to pressure you, baby

Clarifying a reluctance to impose pressure on the partner.

But all I ever wanted to do

Expressing a persistent desire.


I wanna be your lover

Declaring the wish to become the romantic partner.

I wanna be the only one that makes you come running

Expressing the desire to be the exclusive reason for the partner's pursuit.

I wanna be your lover

Reiterating the wish to be the primary romantic interest.

I wanna turn you on, turn you out

Desiring to stimulate and excite the partner.

All night long, make you shout

Expressing a commitment to providing pleasure and satisfaction throughout the night.

Oh, lover, yeah

Using "lover" as a term of endearment.

I wanna be the only one you come for

Desiring exclusivity in the partner's affections.


I wanna be your brother

Expressing a wish to be emotionally close, like a family member.

I wanna be your mother and your sister, too

Extending the desire to play multiple roles in the partner's life.

There ain't no other

Claiming uniqueness in fulfilling certain emotional and physical needs.

That can do the things that I'll do to you

Emphasizing the capability to provide unique experiences.


And I get discouraged

Reiterating feelings of discouragement, possibly due to perceived immaturity.

'Cause you treat me just like a child

Expressing frustration about being treated with condescension.

And they say I'm so shy, yeah

Addressing misconceptions about shyness.

But with you I just go wild, ooo ooo ooo

Highlighting the transformative and uninhibited nature of the relationship.


I didn't want to pressure you, baby, oh

Reiterating a reluctance to pressure the partner.

But all I ever wanted to do

Reaffirming the persistent desire for a deeper connection.


I wanna be your lover

Repeating the declaration of wanting to be the romantic partner.

I wanna be the only one that makes you come, running

Reiterating the desire to be the exclusive reason for the partner's pursuit.

I wanna be your lover

Emphasizing the wish to stimulate and excite the partner.

I wanna turn you on, turn you out

Expressing a commitment to providing pleasure and satisfaction throughout the night.

All night long make you shout

Using "lover" as a term of endearment.

Oh, lover, yeah

Desiring exclusivity in the partner's affections.

I wanna be the only one you come for, yeah

Reaffirming the wish to be the only one the partner seeks.
