Don't You Know I Want You
Yearning Nights: Embracing Desires in The Human League's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
It's a beautiful night
Expressing appreciation for the current evening.
A cool breeze in the air
Highlighting the pleasant weather with a refreshing breeze.
Got the keys to my car
Indicating possession of car keys.
But I don't want to go nowhere
Expressing a lack of desire to go anywhere despite having the means.
I'm not at all bored
Asserting not feeling bored.
But I've plenty of time to spare
Stating the availability of free time.
There's only one thing that I know
Emphasizing a singular desire or goal.
Would take me there
Implies that the specified desire would lead to the desired destination.
I've got one thing to say to you
Announcing the speaker's intention to communicate a message.
I guess you just don't realize
Suggesting a lack of awareness or understanding on the part of the listener.
When you see me look at me
Encouraging the listener to observe the speaker.
There's more than friendship in my eyes
Hinting at romantic or deeper feelings beyond friendship.
Don't you know I want you
Reiterating a desire for the listener.
Don't you know I want you
Repeating the expression of the speaker's want.
You can really get a buzz
Suggesting enjoyment and excitement when spending time together.
Hanging out with the cool and free
Describing the fun of being with carefree and interesting people.
You can act like a monarch
Offering the listener the freedom to act in different ways.
Or a pillar of the bourgeoisie
Referring to the listener's potential roles, possibly with a touch of humor.
Anything you want to do
Expressing a willingness to agree with the listener's choices.
I'm never going to disagree
Committing to never disagreeing with the listener.
But I've got a point of view
Introducing the speaker's perspective.
How about a little sympathy
Requesting understanding or compassion from the listener.
I've got one thing to say to you
Reiterating the intention to convey a message.
I guess you just don't realize
Repeating the idea of the listener's lack of awareness.
When you see me look at me
Encouraging the listener to pay attention to the speaker.
There's more than friendship in my eyes
Reemphasizing deeper emotions present in the speaker's gaze.
Don't you know I want you
Affirming the ongoing desire for the listener.
Don't you know I want you
Repeating the expression of wanting the listener.
Don't you know I want you
Continuing to affirm the speaker's desire.
Don't you know I want you
Repeating the affirmation, possibly for emphasis.
Don't you know I want you
Reiterating the speaker's persistent want for the listener.
Don't you know I want you
Affirming the speaker's desire for the listener one final time.
