Make Me Yours
Dillon Phyllis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was about to give up
And then you came along
Just to have your tender kiss
Thrills me for days and days
I don't care what nobody says
I want you for always
Now that I found you
So make me yours, make me yours
You already captured my heart and my soul
Now I want you to take full control
I need the love that only you can give
If I can't have it
I don't want to live
I never had a love so sweet
I never thought I'd be lucky enough to meet
A guy with all your charms to hold me with loving arms
Make me feel secure and warm
Caused my heart to run
Now that I found you
I want to stay around
So, make me yours, make me yours
Now that I found you I want to stay around
So, make me yours, make me yours
Take me baby if you want me to be
So, whatever you need you can always fine in me
Yeah love me and keep me by your side
Wherever you go I'll always be satisfied
All of my friends said girl don't
But I know what I need and I know what I want
I want to be yours
You're the only one
And I will give to you happiness in return
'Cause what you need, baby I've got it
What you got, I'm just crazy about it
If you're looking for a love that you'll never get
Tired of
Make me yours, make me yours
Baby, make me yours
Not just for a little while
But forever my darling, make me yours
The song "Make Me Yours" by Bettye Swann was written by producer Clarence Reid and singer Joe South in 1967, but it was not until Dillon Phyllis recorded the song in 2019 as a cover that it gained more recognition. The song's lyrics express a desire for love and commitment. The first verse explains how the singer has never had a love to call her own and was on the verge of giving up when the right person came along. She is thrilled by the tender kiss and wants the person to stay with her forever. The second verse emphasizes how the singer is captivated by this person and wants them to take full control of her heart and soul. She states that she needs the kind of love that only this person can give her and that if she can't have it, she doesn't want to live.
The chorus, "make me yours," is repeated several times throughout the song, and it shows a willingness to commit to the person fully. The singer is asking the person to take her and keep her by their side, promising to give them happiness in return. She knows what she needs and wants and is willing to be satisfied by this person alone. Even though other people might have tried to discourage her from going down this path, she knows that this person is the only one for her. The last line of the song emphasizes the desire for an eternal commitment and not just a fleeting one.
