Love's Desperation: A Heart's Plea for Affection
Lyrics
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
Expressing concern that a problem exists in the relationship
You love me no longer, I know
Acknowledging that the love from the partner has diminished
And maybe there is nothing that I can do
Feeling helpless and unsure if any action can restore the love
To make you do
Desiring a specific action from the partner to rekindle love
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
Receiving advice from Mama to move on to another man
That I ought to stick to another man
Considering the advice to find a man more deserving
A man that surely deserves me
Believing that the current partner deserves affection
But I think you do!
Expressing a belief in the partner's worthiness of love
So I cry, I pray and I beg
Feeling emotional and resorting to crying, praying, and begging
Love me love me
Requesting the partner's love directly
Say that you love me
Seeking verbal affirmation of love
Fool me fool me
Acknowledging vulnerability and a willingness to be deceived
Go on and fool me
Inviting the partner to deceive for the sake of love
Love me love me
Repeating the request for love, emphasizing the need for pretense
Pretend that you love me
Desiring the partner to act as if they genuinely love
Leave me leave me
Expressing a willingness to be left for the sake of love
Just say that you need me
Asking the partner to express a need for the speaker
So I cry, and I beg for you to
Continuing to plead for love and attention
Love me love me
Reiterating the request for the partner's love
Say that you love me
Seeking verbal confirmation of love
Leave me leave me
Expressing a willingness to be left if needed
Just say that you need me
Requesting the partner to express a need for the speaker
I can't care 'bout anything but you
Stating a singular focus on caring about the partner
Lately I have desperately pondered,
Reflecting on recent thoughts and emotions
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
Describing sleepless nights spent contemplating the relationship
What I could have done in another way
Questioning past actions and considering alternatives
To make you stay
Expressing a desire for the partner to stay
Reason will not lead to solution
Suggesting that rational thinking may not solve the relationship issues
I will end up lost in confusion
Anticipating confusion and uncertainty in the relationship
I don't care if you really care
Indicating a lack of concern for the partner's true feelings
As long as you don't go
Emphasizing the importance of the partner not leaving
