(2) Steve Lacy (July 23, 1934 – June 4, 2004), born Steven Norman Lackritz in New York City, was an American jazz saxophonist and composer recognized as one of the important players of soprano saxophone. Coming to prominence in the 1950s as a progressive dixieland musician, Lacy went on to a long and prolific career. He worked extensively in experimental jazz and to a lesser extent in free improvisation, but Lacy's music was typically melodic and tightly structured. Lacy also became a highly distinctive composer, with compositions often built out of little more than a single questioning phrase, repeated several times.
After Lacy was diagnosed with cancer in August 2003, he continued playing and teaching until weeks before his death on June 4, 2004 at the age of 69.

Steve Lacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want some of your (love)
(Your love) your love (your love)
Baby (baby)
Can I have some of your (love?)
(Your love) your love
I know there's lots of love in your heart
But who you gonna give it to?
I'm sure there's lots of guys that you see
But I swear they're not as cool as me
Girl, I can take you where you wanna go
If you wanna ride
We could watch a movie, hit the beach
Or just chill and get high
We can do whatever you wanna do
Baby
I want some of your (love)
(Your love) your love (your love)
Baby (baby)
Can I have some of your (love?)
(Your love) your love
I just wanna take it (take it, take it, take it, take it)
Take it slow
Said, I just wanna take it (take it, take it, take it, take it)
Take it slow
The lyrics to Steve Lacy's song "Some" is about the artist expressing his desire to have the love of a girl. He sincerely appeals to the girl to give him a chance to love and cherish her genuinely. The first two lines of the lyrics indicate his craving to have her love. In the chorus, he repeats his desire to have some of her love. He tries to convince the girl that he deserves her love because he can take her to where she wants to go, and he is cooler than anyone she has met. He offers to do anything she wants, from watching a movie, going to the beach to chilling to get high.
He acknowledges that the girl has a lot of love in her heart and asks her who she will give it to.

He does not want to rush things, he just wants to take it slow, as the second half of the lyrics entail. Overall, the song is a melodious invitation to love.
