Darling I Love You
David Hasselhoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shower at sunrise
Shave and get dressed
I've joined the rat race
Just like the rest
Horse back the highways
Rats fill the streets
Girl I get through it
I don't mind the fight
'Cause I know you're waitin' to love me at night

Darling I love you
I live for your touch
You feel so good and you give me so much
Darling I love you
The world can be cold
Who cares as long as I have you to hold

Life's full of hustle
Concrete and clay
I feel you in me
Want you all day
Letters and phone calls
Fill in my time
I count the minutes
Till I get through
Just when it's dark
I can make love to you

Darling I love you
I live for your touch
You feel so good and you give me so much
Darling I love you
The world can be cold
Who cares as long as I have you to hold
Darling I love you
I live for your touch
You feel so good and you give me so much
Darling I love you
The world can be cold
Who cares as long as I have you to hold

What good is morning
I have to go
Noon time is lonely
It moves so slow
Dying to kiss you
Take care inside
I feel your body
When we're apart
Want to run home so the loving can start

Darling I love you
I live for your touch
You feel so good and you give me so much
Darling I love you
The world can be cold
Who cares as long as I have you to hold
Darling I love you
I live for your touch
You feel so good and you give me so much
Darling I love you
The world can be cold
Who cares as long as I have you to hold





Darling I love you
I have you to hold

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to David Hasselhoff’s “Darling I Love You” speak to the struggle of balancing the demands of daily life with a deep yearning for intimate connection with a loved one. The first verse describes the mundane routine of getting ready for work, fighting through traffic and crowds, but finding solace in the knowledge that there is someone special waiting at home. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the lover’s touch that makes all the hardships of the day worthwhile.


The second verse continues this theme, with the hustle and bustle of life contrasting with the unyielding desire to be with the beloved. The last two lines in particular, “Want to run home so the loving can start / Darling I love you, I have you to hold” convey the urgency and passion of the relationship. The bridge shifts slightly to a reflective perspective, questioning the value of time without the lover present, but ultimately reaffirming the belief that true happiness comes from being united with the one you love.


Overall, the song is a sincere expression of the power and importance of love in a chaotic world. It reminds us that even when things are tough, knowing that we have someone to turn to who loves us makes all the difference.
