Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don't need another well spent night
Another clever, sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
Well if you're tired of being lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I'll be the one who's waiting
Come to me
I got what you need
Won't you come to me
There won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me
I'm gonna hold out for the one I want
Ain't gonna settle for less
Cause the kind of love I'm lookin' for, baby
You can't fake, you can't finesse
I ain't lookin' for the kind of man, baby
Can't stand a little shaky ground
He'll give me fire and tenderness
And got the guts to stick around
So if you're tired of bein' lonely
Beat up and confused
Darlin' there is only
One thing you can do
Come to me
I got what you need
Come to me
Won't be no hesitating
I know what you mean to me
