You Are Only Mine
Kat DeLuna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, no, no, no
Ah ah
I tell a story how,
I tell that hands and
Reach through love.
I came without his crown,
As tears come down.
Secretly words
Shedding his demise.
Next to his body,
You know what's found.
I believe
I can live without,
The one who cares for me.
[Chorus]
You are only mine,
I am only yours my baby,
You are only mine,
I am only yours
Oh So where do we go now?
When can we fly
Above the clouds?
Just like a tell-a-tale,
A king and queen
In heaven's frown.
That's how I'm feelin'
About you now,
Don't wanna live
Without your love,
I believe
And I've really found,
The one who cares for me.
You are only mine
(Oh)
I am only yours my baby
(I am only yours)
You are only mine
(You are only mine)
I am only yours
I know you know
That it's so true,
My love's only for me
And you,
What can I say?
I'm so happy
To have you baby, baby.
I know you know
That it's so true
(You know, our love)
My love's only for me
And you.
What can I say?
I'm so happy
To have you baby, baby.
(Yeah, oh yeah)
You are only mine,
I am only yours my baby
(I'm only yours)
You are only mine,
I am only yours
(I am only yours)
You are only mine
(My baby)
I am only yours my baby
(You are only mine)
You are only mine
I am only yours
(Only yours,
Only yours,
Only yours)
The lyrics to Kat DeLuna's song You Are Only Mine tell the story of a love so deep that it defies all boundaries. The opening lines set the tone of the song by expressing the singer's desire to talk about her relationship that exists in a realm beyond everyday experiences. The following lines allude to the complexities of this kind of love, using the metaphor of royalty to describe the passion and devotion that are at the heart of the relationship. The metaphor of the "falling queen" and "tears come down" suggests the sacrifice and intensity of the singer's feelings.
As the chorus kicks in, the lyrics become more direct and passionate, with the repetition of the phrase "You are only mine" serving to reinforce the idea of a love that is all-consuming and timeless. The singer's love is so strong that she cannot imagine living without it, and every other aspect of her life pales in comparison to the connection she has with her partner. The singer also acknowledges the deep mutual nature of the love they share, declaring that she is "only" hers, a final expression of the all-encompassing nature of the bond.
Kat DeLuna's You Are Only Mine is, in many ways, a classic declaration of love that transcends time and space. Through metaphors and poetic language, the song captures the intensity and beauty of a relationship that lies at the heart of the human experience.
