Whispers (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl, I hope you do
Only you can save me
My life equals you
Kiss me, drive me crazy
Would you do that for me, lady
Girl, if that's a fact (lady)
Then melt into me, lady
As though we were wax
Erase all my maybes
Would you do that for me, lady
Oh, oh, your body's designed
By the wisdom of time
And I couldn't live without you
Without losing my mind, oh
You're the answer to my prayers
And just like fresh air
You keep me alive
You cannot be spared
(Lady) I love you, oh, I love you
Said I love you, lady (lady)
And no power on this Earth
Can keep us apart
You're engraved in my heart
Do you hear me, pretty lady
Want you to hear what I'm saying
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, your body's designed
By the wisdom of time
And I couldn't live without you, girl
I'd be losing my mind
You're the answer to my prayers
And just like fresh air
You keep me alive
You cannot be spared
Don't you ever go nowhere
(Lady) you see I love you, lady
Really, really love you, girl (lady)
And no power, no power, baby
Can keep us apart
You're engraved in my heart
Do you hear me, pretty lady
Do you hear me, baby
(Lady) I want you to hear
Every word I say, yeah, girl
(Lady) woo woo woo...
That means I love you, baby
And that means that I want you, baby
(Lady) *scat singing* (lady)
And that means that
I'm gonna get you, baby
Well, well, well, well, well
Don't you know I'm gonna love you, girl
Your kissing can drive me crazy
Yes, you do, girl
(Kiss me) sweet love
Do anything that you want to do
(Lady) but don't you ever
Ever, ever, ever go nowhere
Please, I don't want you
To go nowhere, baby
You see I love you, girl

Want you to hear what I'm saying
I desire for you to comprehend my message
Ooh, your body's designed
Wow, your physique is intricately created
I'd be losing my mind
I would become irrational
Don't you ever go nowhere
Promise me that you will never leave
Really, really love you, girl (lady)
I truly, deeply adore you, woman
And no power, no power, baby
And no force, no strength, dear
Do you hear me, baby
Can you listen to me, darling?
Then melt into me, lady
Become one with me, woman
As if we were two pieces of melting wax blending together
Uniting as if our bodies are combining like wax
Please, I don't want you
Please, I do not wish for you
To go nowhere, baby
To leave my side, dear
Your kissing can drive me crazy
Your passionate kisses can make me lose my mind
Do anything that you want to do
You have permission to do anything you desire
But don't you ever
But you must never
Ever, ever, ever go nowhere
Ever, ever, ever leave my side

This song brings back so many memories even all these years later. I always loved and listened to The Whispers. β€οΈπΆ My husband always called me "pretty lady". I lost him close to 4 years ago on October 22, 2019. ππ’π’ Not one day goes by that I don't miss him and think about him. π’ He was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and passed away exactly 2 months later. π’π’Nobody knows what the future holds and none of us are promised a tomorrow. If you're reading this comment and you have loved ones who are still with you, take the time to tell them you love them and give them the biggest hug you can. π€π€ I wish I could.β€οΈπ€π€π€π Rest peacefully my love ... πππππ
