I Second That Emotion
Love's Dilemma: A Symphony of Yearning and Caution
Lyrics
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
Expressing the possibility of receiving affectionate kisses.
But only for one night with no repeat.
Desiring brief intimacy without any future commitments.
And maybe you'll go away and never call,
Suggesting the likelihood of separation and no communication.
And a taste of honey is worse that none at all.
Comparing a fleeting pleasure to the pain of unfulfilled desire.
Oh little girl!
An exclamation, possibly expressing concern or emphasis.
In that case I don't want nobody
Declaring a preference for solitude if the alternative is heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Believing that getting involved would result in emotional pain.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Open to love if the other person is willing.
If you got the notion,
Acknowledging a potential romantic interest or desire.
I second that emotion.
Expressing agreement with the emotional connection.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
If the desire is for a committed relationship, the sentiment is supported.
I second that emotion.
Reiterating agreement with the emotional connection for a lifetime.
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
Anticipating concerns about love being constraining.
And you don't have the time to hang around.
Expressing a lack of time for a committed relationship.
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
Expecting judgments on love but asserting the wisdom of breaking norms.
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
Perceiving love as a way to gain wisdom by challenging conventions.
Oh little girl!
Repeating the term of endearment, possibly emphasizing innocence.
In that case I don't want nobody
Choosing solitude over potential heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Reiterating the belief that involvement leads to heartbreak.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Expressing openness to love if reciprocated.
If you got the notion,
Acknowledging a desire for love or affection.
I second that emotion.
Agreeing with the emotional connection once again.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Supporting a committed relationship if offered.
I second that emotion.
Reaffirming agreement with a lifelong emotional connection.
In that case I don't want nobody
Restating a preference for solitude over potential heartbreak.
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Maintaining the belief that involvement leads to heartbreak.
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
Expressing openness to love if reciprocated.
If you got the notion,
Acknowledging a desire for love or affection.
I second that emotion.
Agreeing with the emotional connection once again.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
Supporting a committed relationship if offered.
I second that emotion.
Reaffirming agreement with a lifelong emotional connection.
