Lyrics
I know the last one hurt you bad, but all you need to do is come with me
I acknowledge that the previous relationship caused you significant pain, but I'm inviting you to join me.
Quit playing games, the lights are down
Stop playing games; the atmosphere is intimate.
I'm here to give you that one thing that you need
I'm here to provide the one thing you're lacking or longing for.
I know it seems there's no sense in love, and it only exists in a dream
Recognizing the skepticism about love, suggesting it may feel elusive, like a dream.
But if you put your guards down, then you'll find
If you lower your defenses, you'll discover.
If you will give me your heart
Expressing a desire for the person's emotional commitment.
If you will give me your heart
Repetition for emphasis on wanting the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Continued emphasis on desiring the person's heart.
I'll mend it from the start
Promising to mend their heart from the beginning.
If you will give me your heart
Reiteration of the desire for the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Repeated expression of the desire for the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Emphasizing the longing for the person's heart.
I'll never tear it apart
Promising not to break or harm their heart.
Take a step, relax your fear, grab my hand and girl I'll take the lead
Encouraging the person to take a step, overcome fear, and follow the speaker's lead.
Your a diamond shining in the sky, and ain't nobody gonna steal you from me
Comparing the person to a precious diamond and asserting that no one will take them away.
We've only got one life to live, so why waste it on the ones of the past
Highlighting the limited time in life and suggesting not dwelling on past relationships.
Now that you've put your guards down
Confirming that the person has dropped their defenses.
Just let me know your heart will always be mine, yeah
Asking for assurance that the person's heart will always belong to the speaker.
So if you will give me your heart
Repetition of the desire for the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Continued emphasis on wanting the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Reiteration of the desire for the person's heart.
I'll mend it from the start
Promising to mend their heart from the beginning.
If you will give me your heart
Repetition of the desire for the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Emphasizing the longing for the person's heart.
If you will give me your heart
Continued emphasis on desiring the person's heart.
I'll never tear it apart
Promising not to break or harm their heart.
No I won’t
Asserting that the speaker will not tear apart the person's heart.
