Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, Let me tell you
I met a girl downtown last night
She asked me to take her home
Knew what she wanted by the look in her eye
As we walked back arm in arm
So tell me baby 'for you unlock the door
Am I just a one night thrill?
There aint no Money in this deal
Am I wasting my time, yeah?
Do you think this is love that we found?
Am I wasting my time? oh yeah
Cause if I am, baby
You can turn that around
I need a woman to love in front of me
Someone who'll always be there
If you'll be mine im not wasting my own time
Oh, we can make it honey, anywhere
Oh, yeah!
Listen to me, now
Girl I had broke my heart in two
She left me all alone
You know, she did now
Said she didnt love me no more
Another king was on the throne
If you want me baby come over here
And let me take you by the hand
And let it be a lasting love and not just a one night stand
Am I wasting my time, yeah?
Do you think this is love that we found?
Am I wasting my time? oh yeah
Cause if I am, baby
You can turn that around
You can turn that around

Oh, yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm
Oh, Let me tell you
Eager to share a story or experience
I met a girl downtown last night
Encountered a girl in the city center the previous night
She asked me to take her home
Requested me to accompany her to her place
Knew what she wanted by the look in her eye
Understood her desires through her expression
As we walked back arm in arm
Strolling together closely, showing affection
So tell me baby 'for you unlock the door
Before you open the door, answer me
Am I just a one night thrill?
Am I only a temporary source of excitement?
Cause if it's true and i'm just your fool
Because if it's true that I'm being taken advantage of
There aint no Money in this deal
This arrangement has no financial benefit
Am I wasting my time, yeah?
Is my time being spent in vain?
Do you think this is love that we found?
Are we truly experiencing love?
Am I wasting my time? oh yeah
Am I investing my time without purpose?
Cause if I am, baby
Because if that's the case, my dear
You can turn that around
You can change the situation
I need a woman to love in front of me
I desire a partner who reciprocates my love
Someone who'll always be there
A person who remains by my side consistently
If you'll be mine im not wasting my own time
If you commit to me, my time won't be wasted
Oh, we can make it honey, anywhere
Oh, we can overcome obstacles and succeed together, my dear
Listen to me, now
Pay attention to what I'm saying
Girl I had broke my heart in two
The girl shattered my heart into pieces
She left me all alone
She abandoned me without any company
You know, she did now
You understand how it happened, don't you?
Said she didnt love me no more
She expressed that she no longer had feelings for me
Another king was on the throne
She found someone else she deemed more important
If you want me baby come over here
If you desire me, my dear, approach me
And let me take you by the hand
Allow me to guide and lead you
And let it be a lasting love and not just a one night stand
And let it develop into a long-term, genuine love, not only a brief sexual encounter
Am I wasting my time, yeah?
Is my time being spent in vain?
Do you think this is love that we found?
Are we truly experiencing love?
Am I wasting my time? oh yeah
Am I investing my time without purpose?
Cause if I am, baby
Because if that's the case, my dear
You can turn that around
You can change the situation
