Bottom Line
Love's Resilience: Bottom Line Unveiled
Lyrics
Ooh babe, you drive me crazy
Expressing intense attraction and infatuation.
I want you to be my lady
Desire for a committed relationship with the person addressed.
You know I surely do
Assurance of genuine feelings.
Feeling everything you do to me
Acknowledging the impact of the person's actions on the speaker's emotions.
I know you will stay true to me
Trust in the person's faithfulness.
I want you to be my love
Expressing a deep desire for love.
Even when the sun don't shine
Commitment even during difficult times.
I know you'll be mine...
Confidence in the person's belonging to the speaker.
Bottom Line all the time
Emphasizing the importance of commitment in the relationship.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of affirmation and enthusiasm.
Lady, sometimes it rains
Acknowledgment of challenges in the relationship.
Times are hard for us on days
Recognition of difficult times faced together.
When we want to be alone
Expressing a need for solitude in the relationship.
One day I'll take you away
Hope for a future escape or better times.
To a brighter day where
Imagining a brighter and happier future together.
Now we do what we choose
Claiming the freedom to make choices in the relationship.
Even when I close my eyes
Belief in the enduring nature of the relationship even in the absence of sight.
I know you'll be mine...
Reiteration of confidence in the person's commitment.
Bottom Line all the time
Emphasizing the central importance of commitment in the relationship.
I said Bottom Line, all the time
Repetition of the significance of the "Bottom Line."
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Continued affirmation and enthusiasm.
Even when I close my eyes
Reiteration of confidence even when eyes are closed.
I know you'll be mine...
Confidence in the enduring nature of the relationship.
Bottom Line all the time
Reaffirmation of the central importance of commitment.
I said Bottom Line, all the time
Final emphasis on the significance of the "Bottom Line."
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Concluding reiteration of affirmation and enthusiasm.
