I Wanna Love You Like a Man
Drugstore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to take control
And I want to take you
Ah, aha
Defenceless!
You don't understand that my life is so
Strange
And I need to have hope
And I need to have
Friends
But I want you to know
That you're making me
So
Burning with desire
And you've set my soul on fire
We've got all the stars
We've got the universe To hold
And my heart is filled with passion
We've got such a soul connection
And when the time is right, I'm gonna make you understand
I want to love you like a man!
I want to take you home
I want to take you
Ah - aha
Defenceless!
Please try to understand that my life is so
Strange
And I sometimes feel low
Yeah I sometimes feel
Pain
But I want you to know
That you're making me
So
Burning with desire
And you've set my soul on fire




We've got all the stars;
We've got the universe
To hold
And my heart is filled with passion
We've got such a soul connection
And when the time is right, I'm gonna make you understand
I want to love you like a man!
