Lyrics
Time, old time
Expressing the concept of time, emphasizing its age or longevity.
You have not been good to me
Time is personified as having treated the speaker poorly.
This time you've landed right in front of me
The current moment is highlighted, suggesting a significant encounter.
And it feels like fire in my mind
The encounter feels intense, likened to a burning sensation in the speaker's mind.
Put in the work
Emphasizing the effort and dedication put into something.
Wipe the sweat from my brow
Physically showing the result of hard work, wiping away sweat.
Oooh you're all mine
Expressing possession and closeness to someone.
Oooh you're all mine
Repetition of the feeling of possession and connection.
Time, old time
Reiteration of the theme of time, implying continued challenges.
You have not been good to me
Reaffirmation of time's negative impact on the speaker.
Time, precious time
Another reference to time, now emphasizing its value.
Wasted while looking for me
Time is wasted in the pursuit of finding the speaker.
Well you've got my name and
The other party possesses the speaker's name.
Babe I've got your number
Mutual recognition and connection, exchanging information.
And I've never felt things like this before
The speaker experiences unprecedented emotions in the relationship.
There's no way I'm losing you
Commitment to not losing the person of interest.
Come put me out baby
Inviting the partner to extinguish the intense emotions.
Feels like I'm burnin' up
The speaker feels a burning sensation, possibly desire or passion.
They say what's for you won't pass you by
Reflecting on the idea that destiny plays a role in relationships.
But you babe
Acknowledging the partner as a stroke of luck.
Were a stroke of luck me oh my
Expressing astonishment at the fortunate encounter.
I'm burnin'
Reiterating the feeling of burning, possibly desire or passion.
I'm yearnin'
Expressing a strong yearning or desire.
Can you put me out
Seeking relief from the intense emotions.
Your love has me burnin' up
Attributing the intense emotions to the partner's love.
I'm burnin'
Reiterating the feeling of burning and intense desire.
I'm yearnin'
Expressing a continued strong yearning or desire.
Can you put me out
Seeking relief from the overwhelming emotions.
Because I'm burnin' up
Repetition of the idea that the speaker is burning up due to intense emotions.
