Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I show you love
That instead
Now I could die
Cause you′re showing love
To remember you don't even know
There′s a feeling
He can know you
Know you girl
He can't please, please
Please, please ya
Now like I do
His arms couldn't hold you
Strong like my hold you
He can′t need, need
Need, need ya
He can′t want you this bad
He can't please ya, please ya
Please ya, please girl
(Instrumental)
There′s a feeling
In the feel of my song
I could you, feel you
Close to you girl
He can't please, please
Please, please ya
Now like I do
His arms couldn′t hold you
Strong like my hold you
He can't need, need
Need, need ya
He can′t want you this bad, no, no
He can please ya, please ya
Please ya, please girl
He can't please, please
Please, please ya
Now like I do
His arms couldn't hold you
Strong like my hold you
He can′t need, need
Need, need ya
He can′t want you this bad
He can please ya
Please ya, please girl

When was I to think
At what point was I supposed to consider
If I show you love
That by showing you affection
That instead
It would result in
Now I could die
My emotions being so intense that it feels life-threatening
Cause you're showing love
You are expressing mutual affection
To remember you don't even know
Even though you don't really know me
There's a feeling
My song conveys an emotion
In the feel of my song
That is communicated through the music
He can know you
Another person may become acquainted with you
Know you girl
But they will never really understand you like I do
He can't please, please
No one else can satisfy, woo or charm you
Please, please ya
As much as I can
Now like I do
I am the only one who can love you like this
His arms couldn't hold you
Another's embrace won't be as strong as mine
Strong like my hold you
Which keeps you securely
He can't need, need
Another's craving or desire for you
Need, need ya
Will never match the intensity of mine
He can't want you this bad
Another will not long for you as much as I do
No, no
Not even close
He can please ya, please ya
Though he may try
Please ya, please girl
He will never be able to satisfy you like me
(Instrumental)
No lyrics here
I could you, feel you
I can sense your presence
Close to you girl
As if you were right beside me
He can't please, please
No other person can satisfy, woo or charm you
Please, please ya
As much as I can
His arms couldn't hold you
Somebody else's embrace isn't as strong as mine
Strong like my hold you
Which keeps you securely
He can't need, need
Another's craving or desire for you
Need, need ya
Will never match the intensity of mine
He can't want you this bad
Another person will not long for you as much as I do
He can please ya
Though he may try
Please ya, please girl
He will never be able to satisfy you like me
