I Want Love
SAM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So far I am sure you are heaven-sent, oh, baby, I swear
To date you was my very real intent, but I didn’t dare
So many things I wanted to say
But my damn shyness got in the way
An’ now ev’ry night in my dreams you come to reside
But when I wake up you ain’t here by my side
So lost in despair, oh, my baby, I think of suicide
Because from the ghost of your memory
There’s nowhere to hide
You are an angel who walks down here in disguise
You are heavenly eyewash to my eyes
For your love I’ll pay any price Refrain
You are the owner of my broken, poor, lonely heart
I would love you so to want me
You mean the fun of a hot sex spree
So lost in despair, oh, my baby, I think of suicide
Because from the ghost of your memory




There’s nowhere to hide
Refrain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sam Phillips's song "I Don't Want to Fall in Love" express the singer's reluctance to fall in love. The first verse seems to be directed at a particular person, someone whom the singer is not intimately involved with. The singer can't find any reasons to want that person in that way, and feels trapped by the idea of wanting someone in that way. The metaphorical language in "stranded by my passion" and "the whole idea fits us like a suit gone out of fashion" indicates that the singer is struggling with societal expectations of love and romance.


In the second verse, the singer seems to be describing a past interaction with this person. As she says her goodbyes, she thinks about what she wishes that person would say to her, but also acknowledges that those thoughts are like "clouds in an unexpected flurry." This suggests that the singer is having conflicting emotions and isn't entirely sure what she wants. The "minefield" of desire buried within her indicates that she's afraid of getting hurt or making a mistake.


In the final verse, the singer seems to be speaking more broadly about the concept of falling in love. She describes it as a "sentimental circumstance" disguised as "fate with wild romance," suggesting that she recognizes all the ways in which society glorifies love and relationships. However, she acknowledges that this can be misleading and that she doesn't want to fall in love with the idea of love. The line about not knowing what the other person feels for her making things worse indicates that the uncertainty of romance can be a source of anxiety or pain.


Overall, the lyrics to "I Don't Want to Fall in Love" paint a picture of someone who is conflicted about love and relationships, unsure of what she wants and afraid of getting hurt. The metaphorical language and poetic phrasing add depth and complexity to the emotions being expressed.
