Give Me Your Heart Tonight
Yearning Hearts in the Night: Shakin' Stevens' Melodic Plea
Lyrics
Oh-hoh tonight
Expressing a desire for something specific to happen or be given tonight.
I'm walking the streets again
The singer is wandering through the streets once again.
Running away
Escaping or avoiding something, possibly emotional pain or difficulties.
From all of my tears and friends
Seeking distance from both tears and companions.
Oh-hoh tonight
Reiterating the desire for something to happen tonight.
The stars are in darkened sky
The sky is filled with stars, but they don't encompass or define life's entirety.
They don't hold all our life
The stars don't contain the fullness of life's experiences.
I can see in your lonely eyes
The singer perceives loneliness or longing in the other person's eyes.
'Cause I'm not waiting for a secret
The singer isn't waiting for hidden information or secrets.
I don't wanna hear a lie
Doesn't want to hear falsehoods or untruths.
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Rejecting promises about the future.
Give me your heart tonight
Asking for the person's heart tonight.
Too young
Feeling too young to settle down.
Too young to start selling down
Sense of being too old for constant running around.
I'm getting too old
Perceiving the age-related changes in desires.
To wanna keep running around
Desiring not to miss the love being offered.
Oh-hoh your love
Emphasizing the importance of the other person's love.
Is something I don't wanna miss
Following a path that leads to a fleeting moment of a kiss.
And I follow
Is leading on a one night kiss
Expressing the absence of unnecessary tears.
'Cause I'm not crying without out reason
Comparing life's changes to the changing seasons.
I'm not asking what is right
Requesting the other person's heart again.
Just like the changing of the season
Give me your heart tonight
Reiteration of not waiting for secrets.
'Cause I'm not waiting for a secret
Rejecting promises about the future once more.
I don't wanna hear a lie
Expressing the absence of unnecessary tears again.
Don't want the promise of tomorrow
Not seeking clarification about what's right again.
Give me your heart tonight
Reiteration of asking for the heart tonight.
I'm not crying without out reason
Emphasizing the absence of unnecessary tears.
I'm not asking what is right
Not seeking clarification about what's right.
Just like the changing of the season
Comparing life's changes to the changing seasons.
Give me your heart tonight
Requesting the other person's heart once more.
I'm not crying without out reason
Emphasizing the absence of unnecessary tears again.
I'm not asking what is right
Not seeking clarification about what's right again.
Just like the changing of the season
Comparing life's changes to the changing seasons again.
Give me your heart tonight
Requesting the other person's heart once more.
Ohhhhh, Ohhh, Ohhhhh
Give me your heart tonight
Final plea for the other person's heart tonight.
Ohhhhh
