Michael Bolotin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It there's anything in your heart, honey, I'm open
But how can I ever be a man
If you won't open up and let me understand?
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Come on and tell me how you feel
I really want to know
You gotta let your feeling show
If your back's against the wall, I'm open
If you're climbing high and you fall, I'm open
Now if you need me to understand
You know I can't unless you let me in
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
'Cause I've been honest with you
There's nothing more I want to do
I just want to give you my love
I only want to give you my love
Yeah, take it, baby, oh, oh
Tell me how you feel
I really want to know
Tell me how you feel, baby
I really gotta know
Tell me how you feel, baby
Tell me how you feel
I really want to know
I really want to know
