I Just Want To Love You
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna hear all about your day
There was a pile up on the interstate
I'm sorry that I got home so late
I thought about you all the way home
Can we leave the TV off tonight
Unplug the phone
I just want to love you
More than anything else
More than life itself
More than ever baby
I just want to hold you
Touch the heat on your skin
Again and again and again
Let's shut out the world, dim all the lights
Baby tonight
I just want to love you
We can a couple candles
And watch the shadows dance on the wall
While we're moving through the silence
To the rhythm of our own song
I don't wanna fall asleep tonight
Don't wanna think about tomorrow
Baby I
[Chorus]
In "I Just Want To Love You", the singer is apologizing for coming home late because of traffic pileup on the interstate, but he wants to hear all about his partner's day. He suggests turning off the TV and unplugging the phone, and just spending quality time together. He then declares his desire to love his partner more than anything else, more than life itself, and hold them tight while shutting out the rest of the world. The singer wants to light some candles to watch the shadows dance on the wall while they move to the rhythm of their own song. He doesn't want to fall asleep tonight, nor think about tomorrow because all he wants is to love and hold his partner.

Baby come sit down beside me
I want to give you my undivided attention
I wanna hear all about your day
Tell me everything that happened today and I'll listen intently
There was a pile up on the interstate
I know there was a delay on my way home and I'm sorry for keeping you waiting
I'm sorry that I got home so late
I apologize for making you wait and for not being home sooner
I thought about you all the way home
I couldn't wait to see you and was thinking about you during my journey
Can we leave the TV off tonight
Let's avoid any distractions that might get in the way of us spending quality time together
Unplug the phone
Let's prevent any interruptions by unplugging the phone
I just want to love you
I have an overwhelming desire to express my love for you
More than anything else
My love for you is all-consuming and beyond any other desire I may have
More than life itself
You mean more to me than anything else in the world, including my own life
More than ever baby
My love for you has only grown since we've been together
I just want to hold you
I crave the physical intimacy of holding you in my arms
Touch the heat on your skin
I want to feel the warmth of your skin against mine
Again and again and again
I want to repeat this experience indefinitely
Let's shut out the world, dim all the lights
Let's create a romantic atmosphere where it's just the two of us
Baby tonight
Let's make tonight all about us
We can a couple candles
Let's light a couple of candles to add to the romantic ambiance
And watch the shadows dance on the wall
We can appreciate the way the candlelight creates dancing shadows on the wall
While we're moving through the silence
We can quietly enjoy each other's company without feeling the need to fill the silence with conversation
To the rhythm of our own song
We can create our own soundtrack to our intimate moments together
I don't wanna fall asleep tonight
I don't want to miss a second of being close to you tonight
Don't wanna think about tomorrow
The present moment with you is all that matters to me right now
