I Need Your Love
Stryken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You thought I cried
Because your love
It walked on by
Till I can't take another day
Without your love
Your shag rag hairy-cut
Is just one more of the seasons and
I need your love
I'd be so happy
I need your love
I need your love
Did you run away
Or merely hide
I looked oh everywhere
Where you reside
But I could not see anyhow
You'd run away
You had it all
The people say
But now you've gone and done it
I need your love
I need your love
I'd be so happy
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Watch out
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Your cotton mind
Is seeing now
The hatred everywhere
No love is found
Until you've turned yourself around
And I'm still here
Right here
And reaching upwardly
You're knowing why and saying now
I need your love
I need your love
I'd be so happy
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love

The lyrics to Stryken's "Need Your Love" convey a sense of longing and desperation for a lost love.

The lines "Because your love/It walked on by" suggest that their relationship has ended, leaving the singer feeling unable to cope without the love they once had. The phrase "shag rag hairy-cut" may be a metaphor for something that was once vibrant and alive but has now become dull and lifeless, further emphasizing the loss the singer feels.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's search for their lost love, despite not being able to find them. The lines "You had it all/The people said" suggest that the lost love was highly regarded by others, perhaps indicating that the singer is missing out on something special. The phrase "But now you've gone and done it" implies that the lost love is responsible for the breakup. The chorus repeats the phrase "I need your love" several times, emphasizing the singer's desperate desire to be reunited with their partner.

I made you laugh
I brought you joy and happiness
You thought I cried
You misunderstood my emotions
Because your love
Due to your love for me
It walked on by
It ended and is gone
Till I can't take another day
Until I can't bear it anymore
Without your love
Without your affection and care
Your shag rag hairy-cut
Your physical appearance
Is just one more of the seasons and
It's just another passing phase
I need your love
I require your love and attention
Did you run away
Did you leave without explanation
Or merely hide
Or did you go into hiding
I looked oh everywhere
I searched every possible place
Where you reside
Where you usually stay
But I could not see anyhow
But I couldn't find you
You'd run away
You had left
You had it all
You had everything you wanted
The people said
As others have mentioned
But now you've gone and done it
But now you've messed things up
Watch out
Pay attention
Your cotton mind
Your soft and sensitive mind
Is seeing now
Is becoming aware
The hatred everywhere
The presence of hate and negativity in the world
No love is found
The absence of love
Until you've turned yourself around
Until you've changed your ways and attitude
And I'm still here
And I'm waiting for you
Right here
In this place
And reaching upwardly
And trying my best
You're knowing why and saying now
You're realizing why I need your love
I'd be so happy
I would experience great joy
I need your love I need your
I require your love and attention
