If you could see where I was comin'
You would know I'm not a'dreamin'
All it takes to have him
If only I could make him see
If I was he and he was me
The feeling in his gentle pleas
Would make me see things differently
One thing that's sure to me
He's got my heart
Please don't you tell me that my foolishness
Is what's gonna do me in
'Cause for him to go away from me
My life will have been
The greatest ship of sympathy
Unbounded hope and charity
To ever sail the sea of love
To only end in tragedy
One thing I plainly see
He's got my heartAnd so I never ever wanna be
A queen with no king for her queendom
'Cause for him to be my only one
Is my life's true freedom
If only I could make him see
If I was he and he was me
The feeling in his gentle pleas
Would make me see things differently
One thing that's sure to me
He's got my heart
The lyrics of Molly Johnson's song He's Got My Heart are about a woman who has found the love of her life and is determined to make him see that she is the right person for him. She believes that if he could only see things the way she sees them, he would understand that they are meant to be together. She is not foolish for loving him, and she knows in her heart that he is the one for her. She is willing to risk everything for this love, and she believes that if she can only make him see how much he means to her, everything will fall into place.
The lyrics suggest that the woman feels that her love is unrequited, or at least not as strong as her own feelings. She believes that if her love could understand her perspective, he would feel the same way she does. She is willing to go against all odds and fight for their love, no matter what anyone else says. The song also highlights the idea that love is freedom, and that being with the one you love gives you a sense of purpose and completeness. The woman in the lyrics does not want to be a queen without a king, but rather she wants to be united with the love of her life and live happily ever after.
