'Cause don't you know that I like havin' you around
In my life
Oh, baby
So many times I want to hold you, oh, so near
I want to say I love you softly in your ear

So many times I need to have you by my side
To be my friend, my lover and my guide

The Gap Band's "Yearning for Your Love" is a heartfelt plea for love and affection that starts off by stating how the time has come for both individuals to stop playing games and pursue a deeper connection. The lyrics have a sense of urgency to them, as if the singer can no longer wait or tolerate the casualness of the relationship. The singer expresses a desire for physical intimacy, wanting to hold the other person near and whisper sweet nothings into their ear. They highlight how important the other person's presence is in their life and how much they yearn for them to be a permanent fixture.
There is a sense of frustration, as the singer feels as though the other person keeps coming in and out of their life without any commitment. They want the other person to be their lover and potentially their life partner, as they dream of their future together. The repetition of "keep on running" suggests that the other person is hesitant to commit, and the singer is growing tired of it. There is vulnerability in the lyrics, as the singer opens up about their feelings and how much they yearn for the other person's love.
