I AM
Lang Jonny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you can dance with me
I am, I am
If being in love means follow the leader
Then this will have to be
I am, I am
I am, I am
So in love with you
I am, I am
Gonna get you baby
If it's the last thing I do
I used to think that a pretty face
Meant more than what was inside
I did, I did
If being a good man
means swallowing all my pride
I will, yes I will
Repeat chorus:
I am the one who loves you
I am the one who cares
You could fly me to the moon
If I would find you there
All the riches in this world mean nothing
Without you here
Whoever, whatever, however, whenever,
You need me I'm always here
Men killing their brothers
Nobody wants to go down alone
In this age of uncertainty
Love's worth more than gold
I'd sleep outside your window
If that would make you see
That I'm the only one for you
And you're the only one for me

I have followed this young man when he first came on to the scene and I have to say he won me over instantly. He takes you places with his lyrics and makes you happy.

This song perfectly captures the intensity of new love. Most other "Love" songs sound like funeral music. Depressing dirges. This captures the burning intensity. Kudos
