What does it take to win your love for me?
How can I make this dream come true for me?
Oh, I just got to know,
Oh, baby, 'cause I love you so,
Gonna blow for you

I could to make you see how much I love you
Oh, I thought you understood




So you gotta make me see,
What does it take to win your love for me?

Overall Meaning

The Moments's song "What's Your Name" is a romantic ballad that explores the heartache of unrequited love. The lyrics reveal the frustration and sadness of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who does not reciprocate his feelings. He is desperate to know what it takes to win her love, and he is willing to do anything to make his dream come true.


The opening lines of the song, "What does it take to win your love for me? How can I make this dream come true for me?" express the man's desire to know exactly what he needs to do to win the woman's heart. He is at a loss and needs her guidance to make his dreams a reality. The repetition of the phrase "I've tried" emphasizes how much effort he has put into the relationship, but it has not been enough to convince the woman to love him back. The chorus then poses a poignant question, "So you gotta make me see, What does it take to win your love for me?"

on I Don't Want To Go

Lately I been Known
For making up excuses
And all too many times
Wondering what the use is now
Nothing like it used to be
When you and me
Were all I ever dreamed of

Dreams just don't come true
Just the way you planned them
And looking back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
And before I start to lie
I want you to know

[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

Did we turn away
Just when we saw it coming
And could we have been saved
Or would we still
Be running scared
The space became so wide
That no matter how I tried
There was just no place to hide

Ohh Baby

[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

Repeat 2x
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before

I Just
(But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me)
I Just
(I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before)

I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like
Just like before
