Baby Im amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe Im afraid of the way I love you
Baby Im amazed at the the way you pulled me out of time
Hung me on a line
Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you
Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
Whos in the middle of something
That he dosent really understand
Babe Im a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby wont you help to me understand
(lead solo)
Baby Im a man and maybe Im a lonely man
Whos in the middle of something
That he dosent really understand
Babe Im a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby wont you help me understand
Baby Im amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe Im afraid of the way I leave you
Baby Im amazed at the way you help me sing my song
You right me when Im wrong
Maybe Im amazed at the way I really need you
I don't really know what it is about this song that "gets" to me. I have always been a fan of it since I was a little girl. I think it's because I adore the relationship that Paul and Linda McCartney had which makes the song more meaningful because it is so genuine and heartfelt. This relates to love and desire because it emphasizes this idea of "the one". We all have this ideal in our head that we are going to meet one person and instantly know they are our soulmate and the only person for us. It's this image that we are truly only meant for one person. The song also plays off of the desire to be needed by someone. We all want to feel needed by another because it gives us security. Maybe this why the song "gets" to me just in the same why I adore their relationship because I desire to meet "the one"/ "my soulmate" or whatever someone calls it. Whether we all have a soulmate or whether it's all fake, I'm still and optimist which is why this song appeals to me. I think that because this song is genuine that it gives it's listeners hope that "true love" exists. Another definition of love that I think this song brings up that we have not really discussed yet in class is this idea of a "mutual addiction". As human beings, we want others and at the same time we want to be wanted. We want someone to be as attached to us as we are to them. Almost like, love is the only thing that matters in life.
