WANNA BE YOUR LOVE
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You look like a Saturday sunset daiquiri
Waiting on a splash of rum
Swaying to the music
Like you just want to have some fun
You hit me like a song from a California summer
Riding on a Malibu breeze
You're saying this kiss could be anything I want it to be
I wanna be your tonight, tonight
Your damn, we did it right tonight, tonight
Your ain't gonna leave the party
Your smile behind a drink
Your dance out on the street
Your hell, it's only three
Girl, I wanna be your tonight

You can tell your friends you'll just be a couple minutes
Sit right here until they're gone
And whatever just happens
Can happen as long as you want

I wanna be your tonight, tonight
Your damn, we did it right tonight, tonight
Your ain't gonna leave the party
Your smile behind a drink
Your dance out on the street
Your hell, it's only three
Tonight, I wanna be your

Where did all the time go
I wanna be your
Where in the world have you been (I wanna be your)
I wanna be your
When can we do this again, again, again

I wanna be your tonight
Your damn, we did it right tonight, tonight
Your ain't gonna leave the party
Your smile behind a drink
Your dance out on the street
Your come on, it's only three
Girl, I wanna be your tonight (tonight)
I wanna be your tonight (tonight)
I wanna be your tonight (tonight, tonight)





I wanna be your tonight

In the chorus, Joe makes it clear that he wants to be with her tonight and do everything he can to make it a memorable one. He doesn't want her to leave the party and wants to be the one to give her everything she desires. He mentions her smile behind a drink, her dance out on the street, and even going until only 3 in the morning. It's all a desire for her.


In the second verse, Joe makes a request. He wants her to tell her friends that she'll be back soon, and then they can relax and let whatever happens happen for as long as she wants. It's clear that Joe wants one night with her and wants it to be something they'll both remember for a long time.
