Your Kind of Love
Matt Cardle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh Baby, can I be open?
I think I'm ready for another one
Swallow your words
Because too many get spoken
And I don't wanna hear another one
And gimme the rest
Dig in with your hips
And put your hands on my chest
It gets rough
But this is my right
She's telling me
Baby, take me
I wanna feel your kind of love
Tonight I'm on top
Give it up!
I wanna get deeper in your love
I wanna feel your
Love
Never too much
'Cause I'm a little bit greedy
Can't help it
I can feel it comin' on
Never enough
So come on, feed me
Don't speak
'Cause any word I'm hanging on
So gimme your lips
And gimme the rest
Dig in with your hips
And put your hands on my chest
And now she's telling me
Baby, take me
I wanna feel your kind of love
Tonight I'm on top
Give it up!
I wanna get deeper in your love
She's saying
Baby, take me
I wanna feel your kind of love
Tonight I'm on top
Give it up!
I wanna get deeper in your love
I wanna feel your
Love
Everytime she breaks my body
And she bends my mind
Everytime she hits me
With that same old line
She said
Baby, take me
I wanna feel your kind of love
Tonight I'm on top
Give it up!
I wanna get deeper in your love
She said
Baby, take me
I wanna feel your kind of love
Tonight I'm on top
Give it up!
I wanna get deeper in your love
I wanna feel your
Love
The lyrics of Your Kind of Love by Matt Cardle suggest a physical intimacy between two individuals who are alone and are ready for another round of lovemaking. The singer pleads the other person to not speak and to give in to his "greedy" desires. He wants the person to kiss him, grab him and show him the kind of love that he craves. The lyrics are straight to the point and display a sense of immediacy and urgency. The lyrics are written to portray the feeling of raw passion and desire that two people feel for each other during a moment of intimacy.
The chorus of the song is powerful and catchy, emphasizing the need for the other person to take control and to show the singer what their version of love is like. The lyrics are a vivid description of the passion between two people and their desire for each other. The verses, on the other hand, describe the singer's thoughts before and after the act of lovemaking, where his thoughts are wholly consumed by his passion and his desire for the other person. In essence, the lyrics of the song celebrates the sensual and carnal aspects of a physical relationship.
