Piano in the Dark
Brenda Russell Lyrics

Oh
Opening exclamation expressing excitement and anticipation for what's to come.

It never really mattered too much to me
The singer doesn't care about societal norms or judgments regarding their relationship.

That you were just too damned old for me
People disapprove of the relationship because of age but the singer doesn't care.

All that really mattered was you were my girlfriend
The most important thing to the artist is the special connection with their partner.

And, baby, that's all that mattered to me
Again, emphasizing the depth of the artist's feelings and how much their relationship means to them.

Let me love you down
The singer wants to give their partner the ultimate pleasure and satisfaction through physical intimacy.

Even if it takes all night
Their dedication to pleasing their partner is so strong that they are willing to spend as much time as it takes to do so.

You know it's gonna be so right
The artist is confident that their love-making will be exactly what their partner needs and wants.

Remember when I drove you home from work
The artist reminisces about a special moment in their relationship, showing how much they cherish their time together.

I loved the way when you kissed me bye
The artist is deeply in love with their partner and treasures every small moment of intimacy they share.

All your friends think I'm just too young for you
Other people's opinions don't matter to the singer and they refuse to let them come between them and their partner.

You tell 'em that I can do what guys their age can do, oh, baby
The artist doesn't view their age as a barrier to being a good partner, and their partner knows it.

Let me love you, love you, love you, love you
Repetition of the line 'let me love you' emphasizes the singer's desire for their partner and their strong commitment to satisfying them.

No, no, no, no
Rejection of any barriers, whether societal or otherwise, to the singer's love for their partner.

From dawn
Expressing a desire to be with their partner from sunrise to sunset, emphasizing the depth and intensity of their love.

Take the house and the car, mmm
The artist is willing to give up everything material to be with their partner and make them happy.

I love like you are, whoa
The artist loves their partner with a deep and powerful intensity, no matter what others might think.

I can't take this too much longer, you know
The singer is so deeply in love and passionate about their relationship that they can't wait to express that love physically any longer.
