Lyrics
Just when I told ya that I
Expressing a prior statement or action
Want to work things through
Desire to resolve issues or conflicts
Just when I thought it would be
Expectation that honesty would be accepted
Safe to tell the truth
Belief that it's safe to disclose the truth
I see his arms are around you
Observation of another person embracing you
I only wanna see u tonite
Expressing a desire to see the person tonight
I only wanna blow out your candle light
Expressing a desire to extinguish the metaphorical candle light, possibly a symbol of romance
It's you I wanna luv and make feel alright
Expressing love and a desire to make the person feel good
And I swear I'm gonna like no one before
Commitment to love like never before
If he can't make you feel like I do
If the current person fails to make you feel a certain way, a choice needs to be made
It's time to choose
Implying a decision point or ultimatum
I tried to phone ya
Attempted communication via phone
Now I'm knockin' at your door
Transition to physical presence, knocking at the door
I thought I knew you better
A realization that the person may not be as known as previously thought
But you're lyin' more and more
Perceived increase in dishonesty
And now it's him that you adore
The person being adored by someone else
I only wanna see u tonite
Reiteration of the desire to see the person tonight
I only wanna blow out your candle light
Reiteration of the desire to extinguish the metaphorical candle light
It's you I wanna luv and make feel alright
Reiteration of love and a desire to make the person feel good
And I swear I'm gonna like no one before
Reiteration of commitment to an unprecedented level of love
I don't care cuz you are mine and I am yours
Expressing possessiveness and mutual commitment
If he don't make you feel like I do
If the current person fails to make you feel a certain way, a reaffirmation of being the better choice
Then why am I not the one for you
Raising a question about the suitability of the current relationship
