Yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
(I-I-I-I need your therapy)
(I-I-I-I need you to come and lay hands on me)
(I-I-I-I need your therapy-therapy-therapy)
He lays me on the couch and says
"how has your day been?
Tell me your problems,
I'll help you solve them.
Come on let's talk about it"
He sits next to me and smiles.
Listens to all of my words,
Relaxes all of my nerves.
Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down.
Close my eyes (soft spoke)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please
Work your Psychology
You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy
[Chorus]
He puts his hand on my lower back
his face in my neck and
Says something to make me laugh
Makes me forget I was mad
His touch feels so right
It's like he's reading my mind
I need him all the time
Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down.
Close my eyes (soft spoke?)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please ?
Work your Psychology
You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy
[Chorus]
When it feels like I'm losing power
When I feels like a wilting flower
The way you touch me says I'm there for you
It heals me just to hear you say "I Love You"
You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy
You're taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can't bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy
You've given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I'm so weak in the knees
I need your therapy
The song "Therapy" by India.Arie ft. Gramps Morgan is about the power of love and connection in helping us overcome our problems and challenges. The song begins by describing a therapeutic session where the singer lays on the couch while her partner, affectionately referred to as her therapist, listens attentively to her problems and helps her find solutions. The therapy session appears to be intimate and comforting, as her partner makes her laugh and touches her in a way that feels right and healing. The lyrics evoke images of relaxation and inner peace, where the singer is encouraged to breathe deeply and let go of her anxieties.
As the song progresses, the singer emphasizes the importance of her partner's presence in her life, describing him as someone who always takes good care of her and has given her everything she needs. Without him, she feels weak and vulnerable, underscoring the profound emotional impact that he has had on her life. The chorus repeats the plea for his "therapy," which can be interpreted as a desire for the comfort and solace that comes from being in a loving relationship.
Overall, "Therapy" celebrates the power of empathy, love, and support in our lives. It reminds us of the importance of having someone who we can confide in and who can help us overcome our struggles.
