Lyrics
Baby, baby
Expressing affection or endearment
Maybe you are bored of me, bored of me
Suspecting the listener might be tired or uninterested in the speaker
Why won’t you hold on to me
Questioning why the listener isn't physically close or emotionally connected
I wish you would hold on to me
Expressing a desire for the listener to hold onto the speaker
Maybe, maybe
Repeating the suspicion of not being able to provide excitement for the listener
I can’t be the thrill you need, pill you need
Suggesting a lack of thrill or excitement in the relationship
We feel like so long ago
Reflecting on past feelings, possibly a sense of distance or disconnection
You left me swaying alone
Recalling a time when the listener left the speaker alone and swaying
And I know I can’t make you fine
Acknowledging the inability to make the listener happy
But I wish you would let me try
Expressing a willingness to try and improve the situation
I thought you’d find your kicks in me
Believing that the listener should find enjoyment or satisfaction in the speaker
You want to rave but I need a slow dance
Highlighting a conflict in preferences—wanting a slow dance instead of a rave
You wanna go and I need to stay right here
Addressing a desire for stability and reluctance to part ways
You want to rave but I need a slow dance
Reiterating the preference for a slow dance over a rave
You wanna go and leave me
Acknowledging the listener's desire to leave
To slow dance
Repeating the desire for a slow dance, emphasizing a need for intimacy
Slow dance
Repeating the call for a slow dance, possibly for emphasis or emotional resonance
Heavenly, heavenly
Describing oneself as heavenly and offering to fulfill the listener's needs
Let me be the one you need, one you need
Expressing a desire to be the one the listener requires
I can be all sweetness and light
Claiming the ability to be sweet and light, possibly hinting at a positive change
I’m doing nothing tonite
Stating a lack of plans for the night, suggesting availability and readiness
Baby, baby
Repeating the expression of affection and questioning if the listener thinks about the speaker
Do you ever think of me, think of me
Pondering if the listener ever becomes fixated on the speaker
Do you get obsessed like me?
Asking if the listener experiences feelings of obsession or depression similar to the speaker
Do you get depressed like me?
Questioning the listener's emotional state in comparison to the speaker's
