Lyrics
You say it's all misunderstood
You express that there is a misunderstanding.
Tell me how it should be baby
Requesting guidance on how things should be, possibly in the context of a relationship.
Somedays, you act like it's all good
Some days, despite appearances, you act as if everything is fine.
I wish that you would just tell me
Expressing a desire for open communication.
Oh yeah yeah
Reiteration of the desire for clarity and understanding.
But I'll take some time to understand
Willingness to take time to comprehend the other person's perspective.
Just what you're going through
Commitment to understanding the challenges the other person is facing.
Even if that means when you're feeling blue
Even during times of sadness or melancholy.
And all you see is red
Acknowledging the presence of intense emotions, symbolized by the color red.
And that you'd rather have me dead
Suggesting that the other person might prefer a drastic change or separation.
You're the one I like ah
Repeated affirmation that the person is the one the singer likes.
You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like
-You're the one I like ah (I swear that it's true)
-You're the one I like ah (You, you, you)
-You're the one I like ah (Oh yeah, yeah)
-You're the one I like
-Its been five days since you've called me
Noticing a significant gap in communication.
So I got the right to worry
Expressing concern due to the lack of contact.
It ain't no secret, just how I feel
Stating the obvious about feelings being known when confined or restricted.
(When you) Lock me in your penitentiary
Symbolic imprisonment with worries, possibly referring to emotional challenges.
(And you) Lock me in there with my worries
-The things you put me through
Enduring difficulties for the sake of the relationship.
I'll endure it for you
Commitment to enduring challenges for the person they like.
But I'll take some time to understand
Repetition of the commitment to understanding and supporting through tough times.
Just what you're going through
-Even if that means when you're feeling blue
-And all you see is red
-And that you'd rather have me dead
-You're the one I like ah
Reiteration of affection towards the person despite challenges.
You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like
-You're the one I like ah (I swear that it's true)
-You're the one I like ah (You, woo, hoo, hoo)
-You're the one I like ah (Hey!)
-You're the one I like
-Girl I've got to let you know
Promising commitment and support regardless of the pace of the relationship.
That if things are going slow
-(I'll be here to stay)
-Whatever time, whatever day (hey)
-You will hear me say
Expressing readiness to provide assistance whenever needed.
Whenever you need something
Repeating the commitment to doing things for the person they like.
I will do it for ya
-Swear that it's true when I'm looking at you
-Swear that it's true when I'm looking at you
-Swear that it's true when I'm looking at you
-I swear that it's you
-You're the one I like ah
Reiterated expression of affection towards the person.
You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like
-You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like ah
-You're the one I like
-You're the one I like ah
Final assurances that the feelings expressed are genuine and true.
You're the one I like ah
-Swear that it's true when I'm looking at you
-Swear that it's true when I'm looking at you
-Swear that it's true when I'm looking at you
-I swear that it's you
