When You Say You Love Me Lyrics
I've been watching you, from a far
and the way you make your way around the bar.
You laugh like you're really entertained
and you smile like it's your favorite game.
Now you're moving closer to me
and our eyes are connected emotionally.
I'm not looking for a one night stand,
Or a place for a broken heart to mend,
I know everybody here wants to hold ya.
I know what it's like cause i feel the same.
When you look in my eyes there's a part of me that's still afraid.
[Chorus:]
And when you say you love me do you mean it,
baby when you hold me do you feel it?
Should I believe in magic in your eyes,
I would wait until the end of time to hear you say you love me like you mean it,
baby when you hold me make me feel it.
All I wanna do is make you mine
I've been hurt way too many times.
They say if you wanna make god laugh,
then all you gotta do is tell him your plans.
I know that the timing's not right,
Did you know that i would meet you tonight.
It's not that I don't really like the attention,
I feel like the only man in the room.
Are you really sincere, is this just something that you do?
[Chorus]
Again and again and again
I would hurt my friend till the end,
You know I've been high I've been low
I got no place else left to go,
Again and again and again when will this search ever end?
[Chorus]
and the way you make your way around the bar.
You laugh like you're really entertained
and you smile like it's your favorite game.
Now you're moving closer to me
and our eyes are connected emotionally.
I'm not looking for a one night stand,
Or a place for a broken heart to mend,
I know everybody here wants to hold ya.
I know what it's like cause i feel the same.
When you look in my eyes there's a part of me that's still afraid.
And when you say you love me do you mean it,
baby when you hold me do you feel it?
Should I believe in magic in your eyes,
I would wait until the end of time to hear you say you love me like you mean it,
baby when you hold me make me feel it.
All I wanna do is make you mine
I've been hurt way too many times.
then all you gotta do is tell him your plans.
I know that the timing's not right,
Did you know that i would meet you tonight.
It's not that I don't really like the attention,
I feel like the only man in the room.
Are you really sincere, is this just something that you do?

You know I've been high I've been low

he's searching for the right person to love and he wants someone to say to him "I love you" and mean it not just say it and not really mean it.. he will wait until the end of time to hear someone say it like they mean it
I totally agree /w Shorty9847. This is one of my fav. Clay Aiken songs. It's really upbeat 2. Everytime I hear it I just want 2 dance.
I'm as big of a Clay fan as the next person, but this song is obviously about a stripper.
The first paragraph describes her profession and the way he's there even though he wants true love.
The chorus is his fight within himself, wanting so bad to be loved, and questioning if she cares about him even though he means nothing.
In the third paragraph "It's not that I don't really like the attention" he is expressing that he likes what she's doing, fake attention or not, he cant help but enjoy himself. "I feel like the only man in the room.", this emphasizes her career; there are many other men in the room. "Are you really sincere, is this just something that you do?", he is still torn: He wants to believe that with him it is real and more than just the girl paying her rent.
The last paragaph is just repeating how much he wants love, and how he doesnt want to be hurt again (why he turns to a stripper: shallow love, even though he ends up being infatuated anyway)
