Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flowers need the rain Kiss me, make me feel real good
Turn around and bliss me, like a lover should
All these things, they mean just world to me
Without you,my darling
I will cease to be I, I've got to have your heart and soul, oh yeah
Pride and joy Squeeze me, hold me real tight
Then whisper sweet words to me in the middle of the night
Without you my foundation would be gone
You're the very life in me that keeps me hanging on

Sometimes things get too hard to pass
Just say baby and I'll be right there
Now don't you wait, don't you hesitate
'Cause I don't wanna be a minute too late
Girl, you really satisfies my soul
