Lisa Stansfield Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Measure for measure
Your love's so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
It came inside and captured me

And I'm so happy
You're the rhythm of my life
You and I together will stand the test of time

(You know how to love me)
Give me more love, give me more time
I can't understand it
Maybe you've found someone new
Tell me what did I do wrong
What did I do

Looking into your eyes now
I don't see the love we had
I don't see compassion
I don't see anything

[Chorus]
Give me just a little more love
Some more to tide me over
Give me just a little more passion
Give me just a little more love

And a little more time
I don't see the reason
Why you should be so unfair
But I have seen it coming
Seen it hanging in the air

Baby when you hold me
You don't touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby I'll do anything

[Chorus]

I can see you're slipping away from me
But I still feel the magic sometimes
When we touch
You and me, it has to be
'Cause baby without you I don't think that I can carry on

[Chorus x4]

Despite this, she still loves her partner and is willing to do anything to make their relationship work.

The chorus of the song expresses the singer's plea for more love, passion, and time, as she feels that this is what is missing in their relationship. She doesn't want to lose her partner and wants to hold on to the magic that they once shared.
