Eminem feat. Mr. Porter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no one special, special like you
Ain't no one special, special like you
Ain't no one special, special like you
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life, baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life, baby
But you're the one I want in my life, baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life, baby
I'm reminiscin' on your tenderness
And the snugglin' and teasin'
Missin' what I remember
Kissin' and huggin' and squeezin'
Buggin' and wheezin'
I'm havin' trouble when breathin'
It's even tougher when sleepin'
But there's a couple of reasons that I'm sufferin' and grievin'
For lovin' and leavin'
You're all I'm thinkin' of in the evenin'
You got my knees bucklin' and weakenin'
Thoughts of nothin' but freakin'
That I'm strugglin' to keep in
And interrupt when I'm speakin'
I got some game that I'm preparin' to run
The way your lips sparkle and they glare in the sun
You got your hair in a bun
No matter what you're wearin' you stun
'Cause you're comparin' to none
I want to share in the fun, I feel a passionate lust
When I imagine it just alone at last when it's us
I see you graspin' to trust
But my intentions are good, let's leave the past in the dust
I'm not askin' to rush
And answer me immediately
I just wanna be there for you and you to be there for me
If you agree to repeat after me
I love you (I love you, baby)
'Cause I just need you to see
How much I'm eager to be your man legally wed
Your love's keepin' me fed
This is easily said, so you can lead or be led
If you care to be down
'Cause ain't nobody like you nowhere to be found
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
Baby, it's all on you, it's you I call on, boo
Let's set a day up so you can fall on through
We'll take a spin in a Lexus
You can chill for dinner and breakfast
Long enough to see how this gentleman sexes
We'll start it off with caviar, Dom Pérignon
And then when it's a fact we are warm, carry on
We'll take it slow, see, nobody will hurry things
I got the Izze, the Bacardi and Hurricane
If Daiquiris are in debate and not your thang that day
It's still all right 'cause I got Minute Maid and Tangeray
You're an incredible one that's rare
My bed in edible underwear
You look impeccable, none compare
I dream of freakin' you, the women that I'm speakin' to
It seems that there is not an end to things that we can do
So, now we all set to play, only thing left to say
Is when you step away, baby, look over in the négligée
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
I been searchin'
But you're the one I want in my life baby
Ain't no one special, special like you
Ain't no one special, special like you
The lyrics to Eminem's "Searchin'" featuring Denaun Porter showcase a man who is in love with a woman and wants to make her his own. He reminisces on the tenderness of their past relationship and longs to be with her again. He captures the essence of his desire for her as he sings that she's the one he wants in his life, with lines such as "Ain't no one special, special like you." The artist is letting her know that she is unique, unlike anyone else, and he wants to have her back in his life.
The imagery in the song is romantic, setting the mood for a love story. The lyrics talk about teasing, snuggling, kissing, and hugging. He describes the woman in great detail, comparing her to nothing else because she is so unique to him. The artist sits at a crossroads, struggling with his feelings for his past love and the fact that he let her go. He longs to share fun, passionate moments with her, and he wants to be there for her in every way possible.
The chorus of "Searchin'" repeats the phrase "I been searchin', but you're the one I want in my life baby" to emphasize how much he wants this woman back in his life. The bridge further elaborates that "it's all on you," that she should "set a day up so you can fall on through." The artist has planned a luxurious evening for the two of them, including caviar and Dom Perignon. The song's overall theme is that he's been searching for love and has finally found it while acknowledging that this woman is one of a kind, and he doesn't want to lose her again.
