Soulful Confessions: Son Little's Emotional Journey in 'bend yr ear'
Lyrics
I don't know why it's gotta be today
I don't understand why it has to happen today
But it feels like it can't wait
But it feels urgent and can't be delayed
This ain't my style, can't really lie
This behavior isn't typical of me, I can't easily deceive
I can feel the heat start to rise
I can sense emotions escalating
Who am I?
Questioning one's identity and purpose
And is this a bad time
Is this an inopportune moment?
For me to tell you how I feel, honey?
Is this the wrong time for me to express my feelings, dear?
And do you have a minute
Do you have a moment to listen to me?
To let me bend your ear? Oh (oh, oh)
To allow me to talk to you intimately?
It may me laugh or make me cry
It might evoke laughter or tears
Your love is like the sunshine (sunshine, oh)
Your love resembles the warmth of sunshine
Washing me clean (oh, my, my)
Refreshing and cleansing me
Oh, my, my, my
Expressing fascination or admiration
If the flood come, let it rain (oh, my)
If a challenging situation occurs, let it happen
Let me find all the right ways (right ways)
Allow me to discover the correct methods to please you
To please you, baby, ohh
To satisfy and delight you, my dear
(Ain't no time)
There might not be an appropriate moment
Girl, it might not be the time (feel right)
It may not feel ideal
But it feels like it's alright (alright, baby)
However, it seems acceptable or permissible
Alright (alright, baby)
Accepting the situation
This ain't my style, can't really lie (alright, baby)
Similar to before, not my usual way of acting
Can feel the heat start to rise (sun rise, baby)
Sensations of warmth or intensity are building up
Oh, who am I? Ayy-hey
Questioning identity again
Yeah, is this a bad time
Is this an inconvenient moment?
For me to tell you how I feel, honey?
Is this an unsuitable time for me to express emotions, dear?
And do you have a minute
Can you spare a moment?
To let me bend your ear? Oh
To allow me to confide in you?
Is this a bad time
Is this a wrong moment?
For me to tell you how I feel, honey?
Is this inappropriate timing to express emotions, dear?
Do you have a minute, oh
Do you have a moment?
To let me bend your ear? Oh
To let me confide in you?
Is this-
And it was twelve months to the day
Reflecting on a specific event from a year ago
That time we got caught in the rain
A memory of being caught in the rain at that time
Yeah, baby
Remembering the location and context
Over by Ricky and Gloria's place
Mentioning past connections and memories
Shit, I used to live around the way
Recalling a previous place of residence
Oh, yeah
Confirming familiarity with the area
And I know I gotta let you go
Understanding the necessity to move on
I wish there was some other way
Expressing a wish for an alternate outcome
Oh, yeah, baby, yeah
Reiterating a longing for a different solution
Shoulda knew that long ago
Realizing the hindsight of a past decision
But your love's like sugar cane
Describing the addictive nature of love
I can't stay away, ayy-hey
Feeling unable to resist the allure of love
