Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
My friends say you're so into me
And that you need me desperately
They say you say we're so complete
But I need to hear it straight from you
If you want me to believe it's true
I've been waiting for so long it hurts
I want to hear you say the words, please
Don't, don't let me be the last to know
Don't hold back, just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
Oh, if you love me so
Don't let me be the last to know
Ooh yeah, baby
Your body language says so much
Yeah, I feel it in the way you touch
But 'til you say the words it's not enough
Come on and tell me you're in love, please
Don't, don't let me be the last to know
Don't hold back, just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
Oh, if you love me so
Don't let me be the last to know
Come on baby, come on darling, ooh yeah
Come on, let me be the one
Come on now, oh yeah
I need to hear you say (I need to hear you say)
You love me all the way (you love me all the way)
And I don't want to wait another day
I want to feel the way you feel
Oh, come on
Don't, (don't) don't let me be the last to know (just let me be the one)
Don't (don't) hold back (hold back), just let it go (just let it go)
I need to hear you say (I need to hear you say)
You need me all the way (you need me all the way)
So, baby, if you love me
Don't let me be the last to know
And that you need me desperately
They say you say we're so complete
But I need to hear it straight from you
If you want me to believe it's true
I've been waiting for so long it hurts
I want to hear you say the words, please
Don't, don't let me be the last to know
Don't hold back, just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
Oh, if you love me so
Don't let me be the last to know
Ooh yeah, baby
Your body language says so much
Yeah, I feel it in the way you touch
But 'til you say the words it's not enough
Come on and tell me you're in love, please
Don't, don't let me be the last to know
Don't hold back, just let it go
I need to hear you say
You need me all the way
Oh, if you love me so
Don't let me be the last to know
Come on baby, come on darling, ooh yeah
Come on, let me be the one
Come on now, oh yeah
I need to hear you say (I need to hear you say)
You love me all the way (you love me all the way)
And I don't want to wait another day
I want to feel the way you feel
Oh, come on
Don't, (don't) don't let me be the last to know (just let me be the one)
Don't (don't) hold back (hold back), just let it go (just let it go)
I need to hear you say (I need to hear you say)
You need me all the way (you need me all the way)
So, baby, if you love me

So there's only two/three reviews which actually try to analyse this song? Seriously, if you want to post crap about Britney Spears and your opinions on her or her videos, go to one of the message boards on imdb or somewhere. Anyway. This song should have some meaning for anyone who is in the position where they don't know how someone feels about them-I've been there many times! Even when everyone insists that this person feels a certain way about you, it's difficult to be sure until they say it themselves. And that is what the song is about xD
