I Want a Guy
Yearning for True Love: The Supremes' Heartfelt Quest
Lyrics
I want a guy to love me
I desire a romantic partner who will love me.
One who will love me completely
I seek someone who will love me wholeheartedly.
Not like the last
Contrasting with the previous person in the speaker's life.
Who's in the past
Referring to someone from the past.
Who broke my heart and made me cry
Describing the pain caused by the previous relationship.
I wish that he would come and kiss me
Expressing a desire for affection, including a kiss.
And tell me that he misses me
Wanting verbal reassurance of being missed.
I know someday
Believing that the right person will come into the speaker's life.
He'll come my way
Anticipating a future romantic encounter.
And I'll never be lonely again
Expecting that love will banish loneliness permanently.
I don't need riches like diamond rings
Expressing that material wealth is not a priority in a relationship.
As long as he loves me
Emphasizing the importance of love in the speaker's life.
That's everything
Stating that love is the most valuable thing.
As long as he holds me tight
Desiring physical closeness and affection.
As long as he treats me right
Expecting to be treated with respect and kindness.
I'll never let him out of my sight
Expressing a strong commitment to keeping the partner close.
I want a guy with a love that's true
Describing the ideal partner as someone with genuine love.
One that I can tell my troubles to
Seeking emotional support and understanding from the partner.
He'll be my guy
Expressing a desire for a committed relationship.
And stay by my side
Expecting the partner to be loyal and stay with the speaker.
I'd be so glad if I only had
Conveying happiness with just having a loving partner.
A guy, a guy
Reiterating the desire for a loving guy in the speaker's life.
Why can't I have a guy
Expressing frustration or longing for a romantic partner.
A guy
Repeating the desire for a romantic partner.
