Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Creates the man you hold
And when the night comes
When you relax with me
I'll take you in my arms
I'll make you dream
So just remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
Come to me, say you will
And like a storm I can help you feel
You must believe you hold the key
Come to me, say you will
You are divine, your body holds me tight
You can't imagine, kiss so we'll know
(Kiss... know, who knows?)
(Just you) I want you always [Repeat x 2]
I want you always [Repeat x 2]
A woman needs to love
A woman needs to love
A woman needs to feel alive
A woman needs her sex
A woman needs her sex
A woman needs...
The lyrics in this song are a poetic expression of the connection between a man and a woman. The line "A woman in your soul creates the man you hold" is a reference to the idea that a woman brings out the inner strength and emotional depth of a man. It suggests that a man's identity and character is shaped by the love and support of the woman he is with. The idea of relaxation and dreaming is introduced as a way to escape the challenges of the world and find solace in each other's arms. The lyrics "A kiss is just a kiss, a smile is just a smile" suggests that the simple things in life, like affection and happiness, are the most meaningful when shared with someone you love.
The chorus, "Come to me, say you will, and like a storm, I can help you feel. You must believe you hold the key" is a call to action, urging the woman to trust in the power of their love and to allow herself to be vulnerable. The storm metaphor suggests the intensity of the passion and emotion they share, while the reassurance that she holds the key means that she has the power to unlock his heart.
The final lines of the song, "A woman needs to love, a woman needs to feel alive, a woman needs her sex" celebrates the power and vitality of womanhood. It asserts that women have unique needs and desires that are essential to their well-being and self-expression.
