Was My Girl Lyrics

Wow, I'm surprised no one has commented on this song. It's one of my favorite Maxwell songs.

In my opinion, the song is about yearning. He's pleading with a woman to open up and bare her soul to him, but she has her guard up. She wants to end things (possibly due to fear of getting her heart broken again?), but he feels that things are unfinished and he wants to show her how much he truly does love her.

"Turn the lights down low tell me what you could see, yeah tell me what you know about everything you and me"

This song and lyrics are so personal; I'm totally feeling Max on this one
