Moonday, September 4th 2023. The day vibrates on a 2, and the moon is waning in Taurus. This song jumped out at me in today’s rotation on 222.9 The Mothership Internet Radio. It compelled me to explore the lyrics deeper….and this came to mind.
While the song speaks to a woman speaking to a love exchange with an external lover, I challenge you to read the lyrics…and direct them to the lover in yourself that you may need more than anyone right now. Make loving yourself spicy and fun! Enjoy the message and the music!
Love me right
What’s the matter with you?
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do?
Smilin’, smilin’
Comes as no surprise
Smile ain’t hidin’
What I see in your eyes?
The story goes, oh, much deeper
Then the eye can see, yes it do
Stop runnin’ a game
I can tell you’re avoiding me
Ain’t nothin’
I wouldn’t pay
Just to hear, hear you say
Love me right
What’s the matter with you?
Hold me tight
Why must I tell you what to do?
Smilin’, smilin’
Comes as no surprise
Smile ain’t hidin’
What I see in your eyes?
You got the love
Gimme the strength
To keep on livin’, yeah
Whatever it is
I can’t do without
What ya givin’
Ain’t nothin’
I wouldn’t pay
Just to hear, just to hear you say
I love you, I need you
You got the love
To gimme the strength
To keep on livin’, yeah
Whatever it is
I can’t do without
What ya givin’
You got the love
To gimme the strength
To keep on livin’, yeah
Whatever it is
I can’t do without
What ya givin’, oh no
