Santana Ft- Michelle Branch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what you want me to be
One kiss
And boom you're the only one for me
So please tell me
Why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now
I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe
It's all in the game of
Love is
Whatever you make it to be
Sunshine
Instead of this cold lonely sea
So please baby
Try and use me for what I'm good for
It ain't saying goodbye
It's knocking down the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you baby
It's all in the game of love
It's all in this game of love
You roll me
Control me
Console me
Please hold me
You guide me
Divide me
Into me
So please tell me
Why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now
I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
It just take a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe
It's all in the game of love
All in this game of love
It's all in the game of love
Let's play the game of love
Roll me
Control me
Please hold me
I'm out here on my own
On my own

The singer in the song is asking their love interest to tell them what they want them to be, indicating a lack of clarity in the relationship.

Tell me
Ask me and be clear about what you want me to be
Just what you want me to be
Tell me precisely what kind of person you want me to be
One kiss
A single kiss
And boom you're the only one for me
Right after that kiss, I feel like you're the only person for me
So please tell me
Kindly ask me
Why don't you come around no more?
Why don't you visit me anymore?
'Cause right now
At this moment
I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
I'm upset and standing in front of your place of business
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
Love is a mixture of different things
It started with a kiss
Our love story began with a kiss
Now we're up to bat
We're ready to take a swing at this relationship
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
There will be happy times, but also difficult ones
I'm telling you my babe
I'm speaking to my lover
It's all in the game of
It's all part of the game of
Love is
The concept of love is
Whatever you make it to be
It can be defined however you want it to be
Sunshine
A bright and warming sensation
Instead of this cold lonely sea
Rather than feeling isolated and alone
So please baby
Please, my love
Try and use me for what I'm good for
Utilize me in a way that benefits both of us
It ain't saying goodbye
It's not about leaving
It's knocking down the door of your candy store
It's about being persistent and not giving up on your love
You roll me
You manipulate and control me
Control me
Take charge of me
Console me
Provide me with comfort
Please hold me
Hug me tightly
You guide me
You lead me in the right direction
Divide me
Separate me or break me apart
Into me
Become a part of me
I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
I'm desperate for your affection and standing in front of your place of love
Let's play the game of love
Let's engage in the wild ride that is love
I'm out here on my own
I am alone in this situation

@@user-hl2xq9gl3l And ME!!!!! Simply one of the best tracks ever recorded, not over-produced, just two of the best. A regular track in the car for long journeys, keeps me going for the run from Scotland to Kent and back every couple of days.

Carlos Santana is a legend. Michelle Branch is a creator. Best song when we need to remember to care about each other. All in the game of love.
