although from the words it seems straightforward, if we are talking about the Nina Simone version, like everything she does - i think it goes deeper. The sombre, melancholic piano music, slow drum snare, the depth of the sadness in her voice. This is about how love can leave you helpless and hopeless. - Love me, love me, love me, say you do
The person she addresses has no idea how much power they have over her - she even laughs it off at one point - hmm.. Don't you know you're life itself?
best line is - like a leaf clings to a tree, oh my darling cling to me.. at this point you think she is the leaf, but its actually her object of love - almost daring him/her to love with the same intensity that she does
