Lyrics
I got you in mind
I have you in my thoughts or on my mind.
But he's watchin' with his eye on me
Someone else is watching us with suspicion or jealousy.
Here tonight
Tonight is the preferred time and place for me.
Is the only place I want to be
The current moment is the only place I want to be.
I see how you are
I understand your character or demeanor.
And I'm pretty sure you've got what I need
I am confident that you possess what I am looking for.
Boy don't bring me down
Expressing a desire for the person not to bring the speaker down emotionally.
Do you feel the same
Asking if the person shares the same feelings.
I gotta know right now or else I
Urgently seeking confirmation of mutual feelings.
Start getting the shakes
Fearing anxiety or nervousness if the answer is not given promptly.
Wonderin' what it is I can do try
Contemplating ways to be alone with the person.
To get you alone
Expressing a desire to be in a one-on-one situation.
And see what you and I can do tonight
Anticipating exploring possibilities between the speaker and the person tonight.
Oh don't bring me down
Reiterating the plea not to bring the speaker down emotionally.
Are you bad like me
Questioning if the person possesses a rebellious or daring nature like the speaker.
Or are you too good to follow me now
Wondering if the person is hesitant or too virtuous to follow the speaker's lead.
To be in your arms
Being in the person's arms is the only thing that keeps the speaker around.
Is the only thing keepin' me around
Stressing the importance of being in a close, physical embrace with the person.
So don't be afraid
Assuring the person not to be afraid because the speaker can keep a secret.
'Cause with me the secret's safe and it's sound
Emphasizing trust and confidentiality in the relationship.
No don't bring me down
Reiterating the plea not to bring the speaker down emotionally.
