I Long for You
Imany Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then a little girl, then a pretty fridge
And I love her so, I'm fool enough
What do you know about love
She's got a flat of her own and a little car, too
She's got sharp fingernails and plastic shoes
And I love her so, I'm fool enough
I long for you
And another drink, and another fight
See all that anger in her flooded eyes
And I love her so, I'm fool enough
What do you know about love
I long for you
A smack on her cheek and a kick in my groin
She bursts into laughter, now everything's fine
And I love her so, I'm fool enough
What do you know about love
I long for you
The song "I Long for You" by Imany is a powerful expression of love between two people despite their imperfections and flaws. The main theme of the song is that love transcends everything else and can survive even the most difficult moments. The song talks about a woman who is unpredictable, sometimes a "wicked witch" and other times "a little girl" or "a pretty fridge," but the singer still loves her despite her different personalities. The lyrics express the intensity of their love and the singer's willingness to tolerate everything, including her anger and physical abuse.
The lyrics also talk about the woman's independence, as she has her own flat and a little car. She is described as having "sharp fingernails and plastic shoes," which may suggest that she is tough and edgy. The singer, however, is still infatuated with her and believes in their love, even though it may seem unconventional or unconventional.
The chorus, which repeats the line "I long for you," emphasizes the singer's intense longing for the woman despite everything that transpires between them. Overall, the song suggests that love can endure through all kinds of challenges and difficulties, and that perhaps it is precisely these obstacles that make the love stronger.
