I Get Low
Embracing the Depths: Love's Cry in 'I Get Low'
Lyrics
I'm not like all the others baby
I feel distinct from others, not similar.
Don't ring the alarm
Don't cause an alarm or panic.
And don't say we've nothing
Don't claim we lack something until you've been close to me.
Till you've been in these arms now baby
Expresses the desire for physical closeness.
You're not like all the others baby
You possess unique qualities, not like everyone else.
Come keep me warm
Stay close to me for warmth.
I don't mean undercover
Not implying secrecy, just appreciate you as you are.
But just the way that you are
Appreciation for the person's natural self.
Now baby say yeah, not maybe
Expressing a desire for a positive response.
And please don't you hate me
Pleading not to be disliked.
It's not me it's my heart
Attributing emotions to the heart, not personal actions.
Baby I get low
Feeling emotionally down.
I need someone to hold
Craving emotional support through physical touch.
Before we get too old
A desire to address emotions before time passes.
Take me back to your home
Yearning for intimacy and connection.
I don't fight I'm a lover
Prefer love over conflict.
But I won't let you go
Asserting commitment and not letting go.
I'll hold you here forever
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection.
Or till you're telling me no
Willingness to hold on unless refused.
Now baby say yeah not maybe
Reiterating the desire for a positive response.
And please don't you hate me
Requesting not to be disliked.
It's breaking my heart
Expressing emotional pain.
Baby I get low
Reiterating the emotional low point.
I need someone to hold
Seeking solace in someone's embrace.
Before we get too old
Emphasizing the urgency of emotional connection.
Take me back to your home
Desiring a return to a place of emotional comfort.
And make a new start
Expressing a wish for a fresh beginning.
