Can't Hold Out
Passionate Longing: Can't Hold Out by Sugar Ray & the Bluetones
Lyrics
You know I'm just crazy about you, baby
You are deeply fond of the person addressed as "baby."
Wonder, do you ever think of me
Curiosity about whether the person ever contemplates your existence.
You know I'm crazy about you, baby
Reiterating strong affection for the addressed person.
But you don't care nothing in the world for me
Expressing that the person doesn't reciprocate the same feelings.
Well, I can't sleep at night
Difficulty in sleeping during the night.
I just cats nap through the day
Only managing short naps during the day, possibly due to restlessness.
I can't hold out much longer
Feeling unable to endure the current situation for much longer.
Lord, living this way
Expressing a plea or desire for change in circumstances.
You know I'm just crazy about you, baby
Reaffirmation of strong affection toward the person.
Wonder, do you ever think of me
Questioning if the person ever considers your presence or thoughts.
You know I'm in love with you, darling
Stating deep romantic feelings for the addressed individual.
But you don't care nothing in the world for me
Reiterating that the person doesn't reciprocate these feelings.
Now there ain't but the one thing, momma
Highlighting a singular reason for distress or emotional turmoil, referring to the person addressed as "momma."
That makes your daddy drink
Connecting the emotional distress to a habit of drinking.
When you say that you don't love me
Emotional impact when hearing that the addressed person doesn’t love you.
Well Lord, I begin to think
Reflecting on doubts and thoughts arising due to the lack of love reciprocation.
You know I'm just crazy about you, baby
Expressing profound affection again toward the addressed individual.
Wonder, do you ever think of me
Repeating the query about the person's contemplation of your existence.
You know I'm wild about you, honey
Emphasizing intense affection for the addressed person.
But you don't care nothing in the world for me
Restating the lack of reciprocation of feelings by the person.
