Lovin' You
The Lovin' Spoonful Lyrics

The Lovin' Spoonful's "Lovin' You" is a love song that focuses on the strong emotions the singer has for their lover. The lyrics reveal that the singer's love for their partner consumes them to the point that they sit still and bask in their love for them. The first verse starts by asking whether the lover is wondering what the singer is going to do while they're sleeping, and the singer responds that they're simply sitting, with their eyes closed, loving their partner. The second verse is about how the singer used to walk around aimlessly before finding their lover, with the knowledge that they were searching for something, and now that they have found the person they love, they no longer wander the streets, as they have what they've been seeking: love.

The third verse describes how the singer's lover has a calming effect on them, such that their fingers on their forehead can even calm them down. The final verse reveals how before the singer found their lover, they would walk to avoid going home because they couldn't bear to be alone with their thoughts. But now that they have found their partner, they can't imagine leaving, and they're content to sit still and love them.

Overall, the song's message is one of deep adoration and fulfillment that comes from finding love. It highlights the importance of feeling safe and secure in a loving relationship.
