Lyrics
My, my, my boy don't be shy again
Expressing encouragement for the boy to overcome shyness.
I, I, I can read your mind
Claiming the ability to understand the boy's thoughts.
Tonight
Setting the context for the events happening tonight.
I got something to tell you, baby
Announcing the speaker has something important to share with the boy.
You got a hold on me
Expressing the boy's influence or control over the speaker.
If it's true and you can read my thoughts
Pondering if the boy can accurately perceive the speaker's thoughts.
Tell me what you see
Inviting the boy to reveal what he perceives from the speaker's thoughts.
I spy, I spy
Introducing the theme of observation or spying in the context of love.
Love like a stormy sea
Comparing love to a turbulent sea, suggesting emotional intensity.
But you're mine, mine, mine
Asserting ownership over the boy, emphasizing a possessive tone.
So come on home with me
Encouraging the boy to join the speaker, reinforcing a sense of belonging.
My, my, my boy talk to me again
Encouraging the boy to communicate openly once again.
I, I, I, boy, tell me what you see
Asking the boy to share his perspective or insights.
Tonight
Reiterating the significance of the current night in the narrative.
I got something to tell you, baby
Revisiting the statement about having something important to communicate.
Talk it's all so cheap
Commenting on the superficial nature of talk or conversation.
But I'm still here and I got time
Expressing resilience and availability despite challenges.
Tell me what you see
Repeating the invitation for the boy to share his perceptions.
I spy, I spy
Reiterating the theme of observation or spying in the context of love.
Love like a stormy sea
Recalling the earlier metaphor of love as a stormy sea.
But you're mine, mine, mine
Reasserting possessiveness over the boy in the context of love.
So come on home with me
Inviting the boy to return home with the speaker, suggesting a desire for closeness.
