Lyrics
I really want you
I have a strong desire for you
Really do
Emphasizing the sincerity of the desire
Really need ya baby
Expressing a genuine need for the person addressed
God knows I do
Affirming the depth of the speaker's feelings
'Cause I'm not real enough without you
Highlighting the importance of the person in making the speaker feel real
Oh, what can I do?
Expressing helplessness or uncertainty without the person
You make me real
Acknowledging the transformative power of the person
You make me feel
Describing the emotional impact of the person on the speaker
Like lovers feel
Comparing the emotions to those of lovers
You make me throw away mistaken misery
Stating that the person helps the speaker discard feelings of unhappiness
Make me free, love
Declaring a sense of freedom and love brought by the person
Make me free
Reiterating the idea of being liberated by love
I really want you
Reaffirming the intense desire for the person
Really do
Reiterating the sincerity of the desire
Really need ya baby
Emphasizing the genuine need for the person
Really do
Reaffirming the depth of the speaker's feelings
Well I'm not real enough without you
Stating the importance of the person in feeling real
Oh, what can I do?
Expressing helplessness or uncertainty without the person
You make me real
Acknowledging the transformative power of the person (repeated)
Only you
Highlighting the unique appeal of the person (repeated)
Have that appeal
Describing the person's attractiveness with metaphorical language
So let me slide in your tender sunken sea
Describing a desire to immerse in the person's emotions or presence
Make me free, love, make me free
Reiterating the idea that love brings freedom
You make me real
Acknowledging the transformative power of the person (repeated)
Alright
Expressing agreement or affirmation
You make me feel
Describing the emotional impact of the person (repeated)
Like lovers feel
Comparing the emotions to those of lovers (repeated)
You make me throw away mistaken misery
Stating that the person helps the speaker discard feelings of unhappiness (repeated)
Make me free, love, make me free
Reiterating the idea of being liberated by love (repeated)
Make me free
Repeating the declaration of a sense of freedom and love
You make me
Emphasizing the person's role in making the speaker free
Free
Concluding with a repetition of the idea that the person makes the speaker free
