Can't Get Enough Of You
Cheryl Dilcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you know that isn't true
Cause everyday, awake or sleep
I dream of you
There were times I would run away
Far away as can be
Lookin for the kind of love
You give to me
Chorus
I can't get enough of you, my man
I can't get enough of you, my man
I can't get enough of you
My man, I love to hear fairy tales
About castles and flowered roads
Sunshines and moonbeams, falling stars
And pretty rainbows
My love when I am near you
You know I feel so good inside
I see you dancing violet colors in the room
And get butterflies
I can't get enough of you, my man
I can't get enough of you, my man
I can't get enough of you
In Cheryl Dilcher's song "Can't Get Enough Of You," the lyrics express the intense love and need that the singer feels for her significant other. The song begins by acknowledging the common belief that dreams are only for children, but the singer rejects this idea and admits that she often dreams of her beloved, whether she is awake or asleep. She yearns for him so deeply that she has even run far away in search of someone who could show her the kind of love he gives her.
This intense love is reinforced in the chorus, where she sings repeatedly that she "can't get enough" of him. Even the thought of fairy tales and magical stories pales in comparison to the feeling of being with him, seeing him dance and feeling the butterflies that arise within her. There is a sense of joy and fulfillment that comes with being near him, a sense that she doesn't want to lose.
Overall, these lyrics are a testament to the power of love and how it can consume one's thoughts and emotions, making it impossible to imagine life without the object of one's affection.

They say that dreams are for little kids
People often say that dreaming is something that only happens to children
But you know that isn't true
However, you know that this is not really the case
Cause everyday, awake or sleep
Because every single day, whether I'm awake or asleep
I dream of you
I constantly dream about you
There were times I would run away
There were occasions when I used to escape
Far away as can be
As far away as possible
Lookin for the kind of love
I was searching for the kind of love
You give to me
That only you can give me
