I Want Your Love
Taylor Paul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in my class, just drifting away
Staring into the windows of the world
I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play...

'cause I love your smile
I love your smile

The clock at work says three
And I wanna be free
Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint
My toes all day
My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay
I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway

'cause I love your smile
I love your smile

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give
You rock my world
You dig

I'm showin'
The life that I'm livin'
This is the life that I have
And it's given to you

Yeh'and it's true
La-d-da
Twinkley d
do you

Believe in a girl
like me
Shanice is the one
For you to be with

But when I'm caught
All alone
I start fessin'
It's from a state of depression
And the thunder clouds of doubt move in
I begin to wonder "Do you still love me?"
But after that
My whole world is beautiful

Blow branford
Blow

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give
You rock my world
You dig

Smile...Pstch

'cause I love your smile
I love your smile

Sitting in my class, just drifting away
I'm sitting in class, but my mind is elsewhere

Staring into the windows of the world
I'm lost in thought, daydreaming about life

I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
I'm not paying attention to the teacher, the subject doesn't interest me

I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play...
I'm not paying attention to the misbehaving boys in class

'cause I love your smile
I can't focus because I'm thinking about your smile

The clock at work says three
It's three o'clock at work

And I wanna be free
I want to be free from work

Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint
I want to express myself freely, whether it be through screaming, bathing, or painting

My toes all day
I want to be carefree and not worry about anything

My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay
I dislike my boss and my pay

I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway
I'm going to buy a new black mini dress and charge it to my account, despite not being able to afford it

'cause I love your smile
I'm doing this because I'm thinking about your smile

Time came and showed me your direction
I met you and my life changed

Now I know I'll never ever go back
I am certain that I can never go back to my old life

Taught me that I can be a better girl with love you give
You taught me to be a better person by loving me

You rock my world
You make my life amazing

I'm showin'
I am demonstrating

The life that I'm livin'
The life I am living

This is the life that I have
This is my life

And it's given to you
And I owe it all to you

It's true

But when I am caught

All alone
By myself

I start fessin'
I start confessing

It's from a state of depression
It stems from my sadness

And the thunder clouds of doubt move in
I start to doubt our relationship

I begin to wonder "Do you still love me?"
I question whether you still love me

But after that
But then

My whole world is beautiful
Everything becomes beautiful again

'cause I love your smile
Everything is worth it because I love your smile
