Lyrics
I don't know why you're mean to me
I am uncertain about the reason behind your unkindness towards me.
When I call on the telephone
When I attempt to communicate with you over the phone.
And I don't know what you mean to me
I lack understanding of your significance to me.
But I want to turn you on
Despite the ambiguity, I desire to stimulate your interest or excitement.
Turn you up, figure you out
Enhance your presence, comprehend your essence.
I want to take you on
I aspire to engage with you intimately.
These words, you will be mine
These words are a declaration that you will belong to me.
These words, you will be mine, all the time
Emphasizing the permanence of the claim, asserting ownership consistently.
Now fool might be my middle name
While "fool" may describe me, I acknowledge the need to express my feelings.
But I'd be foolish not to say
It would be unwise not to admit my intentions.
I'm going to make whatever it takes
I am determined to do whatever is necessary to win your affection.
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name
Reach out to you, bring you down, formalize our connection, leave a mark.
Secret love, make it rhyme
Expressing love in secrecy, making it harmonious.
Take you in and make you mine
Accepting you and making you exclusively mine.
These words, you will be mine
Reiterating the claim that these words signify my ownership of you.
These words, you will be mine, all the time
Stressing the enduring nature of the declaration.
I tripped and fell, did I fall
Reflecting on a stumble, questioning if it was intentional.
What I want to feel
Expressing a desire to experience a particular emotion.
I want to feel it now
Yearning to feel that emotion immediately.
You know with love comes strange currencies
Love brings about unpredictable and unconventional exchanges.
And here is my appeal
Making a plea for an opportunity, expressing a need.
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance
Seeking multiple chances for redemption and reconciliation.
A fourth chance, a word, a signal
Desiring communication through various means.
A nod, a little breath
Subtle cues and gestures are sought for self-deception.
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
To trick myself, to capture and make tangible my desires.
And make it real, real
Making the illusion real.
These words, you will be mine
Reaffirming the claim of possession through words.
These words, you will be mine, all the time
Reiterating the enduring nature of the declaration.
These words, you will be mine
Emphasizing once more the assertion of ownership.
These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
These words continue to haunt and consume me, creating internal conflict.
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh
The impact of love's limitations is acknowledged, prompting a prayer.
