Send Me Some Lovin'
Longing Across Miles: Stevie Wonder's Plea for Love in 'Send Me Some Lovin'
Lyrics
Send me some loving
Expressing a desire for affection and love to be sent.
Send it I pray
Reiterating the request for love and affection.
How can I love you
Pondering the difficulty of loving someone who is physically distant.
When you're far away?
Highlighting the challenge of maintaining love when apart.
Oh, send me your picture, girl (send me a picture, baby)
Requesting a visual representation, such as a photo, from the girl.
Send it my dear (send me a picture, baby)
Reiterating the request for a picture from the dear one.
So I can hold it
Expressing a desire to hold and feel a connection through the picture.
And pretend that you're here
Imagining the presence of the girl through the picture.
Can't you send me your kisses, girl?
Desiring kisses from the girl and expressing the ability to feel their impact.
I can feel their touch
Expressing a strong need for the girl.
I need you so badly, girl
Conveying a deep longing and a sense of deprivation.
I miss you so much, oh yeah
Emphasizing the intensity of missing the girl.
My days are so lonely (send me some lovin', baby)
Describing loneliness during the day.
My nights are so blue (send me some lovin', baby)
Expressing sadness during the night.
Come on send me so lovin', lovin' darling (send me some lovin', baby)
Encouraging the girl to send love.
'Cause I'm waiting for you (send me some lovin', baby)
Waiting eagerly for the girl's affection.
(Won't you send me your kisses?)
Repeating the request for kisses.
Send me your kisses, girl
Asking for the girl's kisses.
(I can still feel that touch)
Recalling the tactile sensation of the girl's touch.
I can still feel that touch
Reiterating the ability to feel the girl's touch.
(I need you so badly)
Expressing a strong need for the girl.
Girl, I need you so badly
Stressing the intensity of the need for the girl.
(I miss you so much)
Reaffirming the profound sense of missing the girl.
So much, so much
Emphasizing the depth of the emotional void.
All my days are so lonely (send me some lovin', baby)
Repeating the theme of loneliness during the day.
My nights are so blue, darling (send me some lovin', baby)
Reiterating the sadness experienced during the night.
Send me some lovin' girl (send me some lovin', baby)
Continuing to request love from the girl.
Don't you know I'm waiting for you? (Send me some lovin', baby)
Stating the anticipation of the girl's response.
(Send me some lovin', baby) Send me some lovin' girl
Repeating the plea for the girl's love.
(Send me some lovin', baby)
Continuing the request for love.
(Send me some lovin', baby) Send it to me, send it to me, yeah
Repeatedly urging the girl to send love.
