There!
Haaa ohhhh

I wanna love you,
I wanna kiss you,

Well I get these gaps in time
Where I've been spacin you on my mind

I like how bad it seems so wrong
To feel this weighing it feels so strong
You better sing me a lullaby
So baby come on come one

You come over and you kiss my face (you kiss my face)
Felt like I want you more without saying a thing ??
Memorizing this moment believe I la la la la la
You took my hands you kiss my lips

[Chorus continues till end]
The lyrics of Estelle's song "I Wanna Love You" talk about the singer's strong desire to be with a particular person, to hold them, kiss them, and hug them. She continuously thinks about them and feels a certain kind of love that makes her feel good and alive. The singer sings about the feeling of complete comfort and peace that she experiences when she is with the person she desires. Although the feeling of love is so strong, she acknowledges that it's not an easy feeling to express as society rarely encourages love in such an open way. The singer describes the feeling of wanting to be so close to the person it almost feels wrong, but it also feels right at the same time.
The verse, "I get these gaps in time, where I've been spacing you on my mind" reflects the singer's thoughts about the person she loves. She spends her time thinking and daydreaming about the times they could spend together, singing lullabies to her as she drifts off to sleep. The line 'you make me feel so fly' tells us that her loved one makes her feel as if she's floating and is light as a feather. This is then followed by a plea for the other person to sing her a lullaby so that they can share this moment together. The line, "You come over and you kiss my face, felt like I want you more without saying a thing" reveals that the person she loves has strong feelings for her too, and their actions are enough to show that.
Overall, the song captures the thrill and excitement of new love, and the singer's desire to be physically close to the person she loves.
