I absolutely LOVED this song back in the day. Clearly I'm a fan of love songs, and the thought of working toward building a life together.... So when Pandora brought it back to me, I had to blog about it....
"I can picture us in the living room
by the mantle piece, and you’re telling me you’re loving me with your hands on my thighs while I’m staring in your brown eyes. And the expression on your face is telling me you want more than a taste, so tonight we’re going all the way - we’ll be loving till the break of day." The singer appears to be fantasizing, thinking about a time when she and her love are sharing a tender, intimate moment. And in the midst of the emotional connection, the sexual arises, and they find themselves making love for hours through the night.
"There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for you boy. I don’t care what the others say now that I got you, babe. No one can bring me joy like you, girl. All the little things you do - it's all about you, boo." In the chorus, the two sing to each other. The woman says that there is nothing she wouldn't do for him, and that she will stick by him no matter what anyone else says. He returns the care, cherishing all the things she does for him and responding to these things by making her the relational priority in his life.
"I can picture us running in the rain after a movie then we spark a flame. O, I love it when you scream my name. Going 60 in the 3rd lane. We pull over to the parking lot - in the Park, that's my favorite spot. Doing just about anything. We’ll be going till the birds sing." This time, he is the one allowing his imagination to wander, and he thinks on the passion and pleasure in their relationship as well.
"I think it's bout time that I make you mine. O, what your saying to me, boy? Come on break it down. To find another like you will be a lifetime. I think I see where you’re going, baby. Let it out, let it out. Listen to me, baby - got something to say. Is it really what I think? Don’t take all day. Forever is what I wanna give to you. So what do you say? Baby I do." So after they have spent some time together, shared intimate moments and passionate exchanges, they come a place in their relationship where it is time to take things to the next level. He says it's time to make her his, to claim her in relationship. He says that she is so rare and awesome that it would take an entire lifetime to find someone who makes him feel the way she does. As he is talking, she is anticipating his words, hopeful that the conclusion will be one that she too has been desiring. He says he wants to give her forever, drops to one knee, and proposes. In the fashion of a wedding, she responds by saying, "I do."
