Be Be Your Love
Rachael Yamagata Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could take you away
Pretend I was queen
What would you say
Would you think I'm unreal
Cause everybody's got their way I should feel

Everybody's talking how I can't be your love
But I want want wanna be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I can't be your love
But I want to be your love
Want to be your love for real
Want to be your everything

Everything's falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you

Everybody's talking how I can't be your love
But I want want wanna be your love
Want to be your love for real
Everything will be alright
If you just stay the night

Please, sir, don't you walk away
Everybody's talking how I can't be your love




But I want want wanna be your love
Want to be your love for real
