Take Me Back
Stevie Lyrics

You can bet you're sweeter than ever
The singer is expressing his deep admiration for the addressee

And your love is making it better
The love of the addressee is making life better for the singer

I can feel it in my bones
The singer can feel the love of the addressee deeply and intensely

Ooh each time we're alone
The times when the artist is alone with the addressee are particularly special

I live in ecstasy
The love of the addressee is so intense that the artist is constantly feeling ecstatic

And my soul refuses sleep
The singer is so consumed by the love of the addressee that he cannot sleep

'Cause joy, joy, joy takes over me
The overwhelming feeling of joy that the singer experiences is all-encompassing

Through thick and thin I'll stand
The artist is committed to standing by the addressee through all challenges

Loving you always
The artist will always love the addressee

Yes I need you mama
The artist expresses his need for the addressee

To keep the heartache away
The singer sees the addressee as his source of comfort, who keeps him from experiencing heartache

I know the sun's gon' shine
The artist is confident that things will get better

And as long as you're mine
The singer expresses his possessiveness towards the addressee

It's joy, joy, joy, joy I feel inside
The addressee's love brings immense joy to the singer

Your love's potion
The addressee's love is compared to a magical potion

Gives me the notion
The artist feels inspired by the addressee's love

To shout out loud
The artist wants to express his love loudly

Ooh baby baby baby babe
The singer affectionately addresses the addressee

Like a spinning top
The singer's love for the addressee is compared to a spinning top that cannot stop

I can't stop
The artist cannot stop loving the addressee

Ooh loving you
The artist expresses his love for the addressee

You know Stevie loves you
The artist addresses the addressee, referring to himself in the third person

I need you baby, oh yeah
The singer expresses his need for the addressee

You know my love is sure to live
The artist is confident in the longevity of his love for the addressee

Ain't goin' nowhere
The singer's love for the addressee is not going anywhere

And I do believe girl
The singer expresses his belief that the addressee was meant for him

'Cause I live in ecstasy
The singer's love for the addressee is intense and he feels ecstatic

And my soul refuses sleep
The artist is so consumed by the love of the addressee that he cannot sleep

'Cause joy, joy takes over me
The artist is overwhelmed by joy that the addressee brings

Oh baby joy
The singer addresses the addressee, emphasizing the joy that they bring

Joy, joy, joy, joy
The feeling of joy is repeated to emphasize its all-encompassing nature

Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy
The repetition of joy emphasizes the depth of the feeling

The way you love me joy, baby
The addressee's way of loving the artist brings joy

Takes over me
The feeling of joy consumes the artist

Oh the way you love me
The way the addressee loves the singer is emphasized

The way you need me
The artist's importance to the addressee is emphasized

Baby please don't leave me
The singer expresses his fear of losing the addressee's love

I get joy
The singer expresses that he feels joy because of the addressee's love
