Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me tell you truthfully
About this good world and me
I want piece of mind don't you see
I'm going to get it I know it's there somewhere for me

Gonna get love, I know that I will
Satisfaction gonna come until
Don't you fret now, I'll get love yet
Got this space within me, just you wait
I'm in it yet

Let me tell you truthfully
About this good world and me
I want piece of mind don't you see
I'm going to get it I know it's there somewhere for me

Gonna get love, I know that I will
Satisfaction gonna come until
Don't you fret now, I'll get love yet
Got this space within me, just you wait
I'm in it yet

Yeah... Yeah
Love... love me madly
That's all!
Give me love
Make me feel like a man on air
