Why Don't You Haul off and Love Me
Craving Love: Wayne Raney's Passionate Plea in Song
Lyrics
They say a lovebug will get you
Being struck by the feeling of love unexpectedly
At the age of forty three
At the age of forty-three, susceptible to love's influence
I'm not tellin' my age
Declining to reveal precise age
But somethin' got a hold of me
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or captivated by love
I'm just cravin' some lovin'
Desiring affection in a traditional manner
In the old fashioned way
Wanting love in a conventional, old-fashioned way
Honey, lend an ear
Asking for attention to express feelings
And listen to all I have to say
Requesting to be heard completely
Why don't you haul off and love me, one more time
Asking why the partner doesn't express love again
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turnin' blind
Desiring intense affection until losing sight metaphorically
If you don't cuddle up and love me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current level of affection
Like I want you to do
Wanting the partner to reciprocate desired affection
I'm gonna haul off and die over you
Threatening extreme emotional distress if affection isn't received
Now, darling, come a little closer
Requesting closeness and intimacy
Put your little hand in mine
Inviting physical closeness by holding hands
Let me feel your arms about me, honey
Seeking reassurance and stability in the relationship
Please don't change your mind
Pleading for commitment and not changing feelings
For my lovesick heart's a-throbbin'
Expressing emotional longing and yearning
As I hold you close to mine
Feeling an intense emotional connection
I'm bound to have a lot of lovin'
Expecting abundant love and affection
Waitin' for me on the line
Anticipating affectionate interaction in the future
Why don't you haul off and love me, one more time
Reiterating the desire for affection and love
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turnin' blind
Wishing for tight, intense embraces
If you don't cuddle up and love me
Expressing dissatisfaction with current affectionate gestures
Like I want you to do
Desiring specific levels of affection from the partner
I'm gonna haul off and die over you
Threatening extreme emotional response if desires aren't met
Now, I can feel your warm lips near me
Sensing physical closeness and intimacy
Hear your breathin' soft and fine
Noticing subtle and tender interactions
I can feel the matrimony crawlin'
Feeling marriage or commitment affecting deeply
Up and down my spine
Experiencing intense sensations due to commitment
I don't believe that love will hurt you
Rejecting the idea of love causing pain
'Cause it feels so nice and kind
Describing love as pleasant and gentle
It seems mighty close to heaven
Comparing love to a heavenly experience
When your love is on the line
Feeling immense joy when love is reciprocated
Why don't you haul off and love me, one more time
Repetition of desire for affection and love
Why don't you squeeze me until I'm turnin' blind
Asking for intense physical affection
If you don't cuddle up and love me
Expressing dissatisfaction with current level of love
Like I want you to do
Reiterating the desired level of affection
I'm gonna haul off and die over you
Threatening extreme emotional response if desires aren't met
