I Want You Lyrics

Cover art for I Want You lyrics by Bob Dylan

The song means something like this to me:

The girl he loves is gone, maybe she is death or maybe she refuse the singer.

The world is spoiled, things are happening that don’t happen in a normal world. That’s why you’re not with me now. (first 2 couplets) Because in a normal world, we would be together, we are meant to be together.

Nobody learnt me how to love, everything I did, I did it wrong to you. (3rd couplet)

So I start gambling, I start drinking because I don’t know what to do. (4rd couplet)

I hurt the people/things you like, I’m sorry, but I do it because they toke the time of yours that was meant to spend with me. It’s not fair.

Don’t you understand, everything I did, I did it for you, I’m so desperate for you.
