When I'm With You
The Sheriff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never needed love
Like I need you
And I never lived for nobody
But I live for you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you
Maybe it's the way you touch me
With the warmth of the sun
Maybe it's the way you smile
I come all undone
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you
Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
Oh baby my world stands still when I'm with you
When I'm with you
I never cared for nobody
Like I care for you
And I never wanted to share the things
I want to share with you
Ooh babe
Lost in love is what I feel
When I'm with you
Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
O baby my world stands still when I'm with you oh oh
Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
O baby my world stands still when I'm with you




When I'm with you
When I'm with you

Overall Meaning

The Sheriff's song "When I'm With You" is a beautiful tribute to the power of love. The lyrics speak of the incredibly strong connection between two people who were meant to be together. The first stanza sets the tone for the song with the opening line, "I never needed love like I need you." This line conveys the idea that the singer has never felt this way before - they have never wanted or needed anyone the way they want and need the person to whom they are singing.


The second stanza is just as poignant, with the singer singing, "Lost in love is what I feel when I'm with you," which reinforces the idea that when they are together, all their worries fade away and they are able to immerse themselves in the bliss of being with each other. The chorus brings home the message of the song even more powerfully, with the repeated line, "Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh, oh baby my world stands still when I'm with you." The song captures the feeling of total immersion in the present moment, where nothing else matters but the love between two people.


Overall, the song is a beautiful and emotive testament to the power of love and the way it can transform our lives.


Line by Line Meaning

I never needed love
Love was never a necessity for me


Like I need you
But it becomes an important aspect with you in my life


And I never lived for nobody
I have never lived my life for anyone else


But I live for you
But you are the one who makes my life worth living


Ooh babe
You are the one who brings out the passionate side of me


Lost in love is what I feel
I am completely consumed by this feeling of love


When I'm with you
And it only happens when I am with you


Maybe it's the way you touch me
Perhaps it is the way you touch me


With the warmth of the sun
Like the warmth of the sun, your touch gives me comfort


Maybe it's the way you smile
Or it can be the way you smile at me


I come all undone
It removes all my worries and makes me feel at ease


Baby ooh I get chills when I'm with you oh
I get goosebumps every time I'm with you


Oh baby my world stands still when I'm with you
Everything around me becomes still and unimportant when I am with you


I never cared for nobody
I never truly cared for anyone before


Like I care for you
But I care deeply for you, more than anyone else


And I never wanted to share the things
Sharing things has never been something I wanted to do


I want to share to with you
But with you, I want to share everything I have


When I'm with you
Because all of it feels so much better when I am with you

I absolutely luv this song! My husband and I met at a New Years party at a club. We started dating from then on. Soon after this song came out he would always sing it to me…

The first time he sang it was when he had come back after being gone all week working. He picked me up. As we drove away he began to sing this song.

He has this amazing voice and as he sang it to me the first time… that was moment I fell in love with my baby and have been blessed by this wonderful honest, hardworking Faithful man for 33 year’s going on 34.

We still hug and kiss daily, we do things together as a matter of fact he taught me to fish and luv it! Took me camping for my first time and we’ve been going as often as we can.

I actually luv doing thing’s Ive never tried before because he loves it, I learned how to golf and we go golfing together with one of our sons who is a professional golfer. I’m the type of person I’ll try it, see if I alike and if I like it, we do it together!

We will be married for 34 years in September 12 2023. I can honestly say we are still going strong and love each more and more as the years go by. We were blessed with three boy’s

Hello Jamy, how are things going with you?

@williamhauswirth958

No cell phones, no social media, no selfies, you had to socialize in person with people, and great music!!
