I Need Your Love
Stryken Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I made you laugh
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 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
I

Line by Line Meaning

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
