Kim Tillman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But for you I'd do anything you want me to
Anything you want me to
I don't know, I don't know the lengths I'd go
For you to know what's true
I'm totally in love with you
Totally in love with you
It's sometimes hard to know what's right
But at the end of every night
I want your body pressed against my side
It always lights me up inside
You can have you can have my skin
And all the smaller parts within
You can have you can have skin
And all the smaller parts within
In "Anything You Want," Kim Tillman sings about a love that surpasses her limits in terms of honesty and dedication. The opening line, "I'm not one to tell the truth," could be interpreted as a reference to either an unreliable narrator, indicating that the song is not entirely trustworthy, or a genuine admission that the singer is not always truthful. However, by qualifying this with the statement that "for you, I'd do anything you want me to," Tillman demonstrates that this is a love that prompts her to move beyond her comfort zone in pursuit of connection, and leaves the veracity of the song's overall narrative open to interpretation.
Tillman's chorus is straightforward, expressing her devotion without reservation, in lines that suggest that she is entirely wrapped up in this person: "I don't know, I don't know the lengths I'd go / for you to know what's true / I'm totally in love with you." The song's message is one of heartfelt beauty, presenting a simple emotion with sincerity and clarity. Tillman consistently returns to the theme of intimacy and pleasure throughout the lyrics. "It's sometimes hard to know what's right," she sings in the pre-chorus, "But at the end of every night / I want your body pressed against my side / It always lights me up inside."
In conclusion, "Anything You Want" by Kim Tillman is a beautiful and honest composition that touches on devotion and intimacy. It's a song that invites reflection, but simultaneously captures the joy and excitement of a new love.
