To Love You More -- Celine Dion

“To Love You More,” by Celine Dion

Released: 1995

Song sentiment: I am convinced that between me and this other girl you’ve been going out with, I’m the one who is more suited to you, and even though we are no longer together and there is no real evidence to support my claim that I’m a better choice of girlfriend for you, I’m convinced that deep down, you agree with me on that point and we should resume our relationship.

VERSE 1
Take me back into the arms I love. Need me like you did before. Touch me once again, and remember when there was no one that you wanted more.

Return me to the forelimbs with which I am enamored. Require my presence in the same manner as on previous occasions. Place your fingers upon my person one additional time and recall a specific instance in which you desired me with greater intensity than any other person.

VERSE 2
Don't go, you know you’ll break my heart. She won't love you like I will. I'm the one who'll stay when she walks away, and you know I'll be standing here still.

I demand that you stay in this location as you are, in fact, aware that your leaving will cause me to suffer a serious cardiac avulsion. The other woman you are considering leaving me for will not be able to provide a level of affection that is commensurate with what I am prepared to offer you. Only I will remain in this location upon the moment she inevitably makes a retreat, and furthermore, you possess the knowledge that I will remain in an upright position on this very spot.

CHORUS

I'll be waiting for you here inside my heart. I'm the one who wants to love you more. You will see I can give you everything you need. Let me be the one to love you more.

In the future, I will anticipate your return as I remain in this location, which is within the muscular organ that supplies oxygen-rich blood to all of my organs. I am the individual who wishes to experience an emotion of deep affection for you and forge a connection with you that is greater than what you would have with that other woman you’re considering being with. You will find that I am in a position to be able to provide you with all of items represented in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, from the basics of food and shelter up to the ability to achieve self-actualization. Allow me the opportunity to take on the role as the individual who experiences an emotion of deep affection for you and forges a connection with you that is greater than that other woman you’re considering being with.

VERSE 3
See me as if you never knew. Hold me so you can't let go. Just believe in me. I will make you see all the things that your heart needs to know.

Look at me like you possessed zero awareness or understanding of anything at any time, ever. Keep me in your grasp so tightly that it is impossible for you to relax your grip. Simply credit my existence. I am planning to cause your eyes to send signals to your brain that result in your perception of visual stimuli that represent everything that your cardiac muscle requires in terms of knowledge, assuming that it were to possess its own brain.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
And some way all the love that we had can be saved. Whatever it takes we'll find a way.

Believe me, I will make you see all the things that your heart needs to know.


In addition, there exists a path wherein the feelings of deep affection and connection that we possessed in the past may potentially be salvaged. Regardless of the actions that must be performed in order to make the aforementioned happen, we will stumble across this pathway.

Accept what I am saying as the truth, I will cause you to be able to visualize everything that your cardiac muscle requires in terms of knowledge, assuming that it were to possess its own brain.

MODIFIED CHORUS

I’ll be.
Waiting for you, here inside my heart, I’m the one who wants to love you more. Can’t you see I can give you everything you need? Let me be the one to love you more.

I will exist.
Ancitipating your return as I remain in this location, which is within the muscular organ that supplies oxygen-rich blood to all of my organs. I am the individual who wishes to experience an emotion of deep affection for you and forge a connection with you that is greater than that other woman you’re considering being with. Are you unable to comprehend that I am in a position to be able to provide you with all of items represented in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, from the basics of food and shelter up to the ability to achieve self-actualization? Allow me the opportunity to take on the role as the individual who experiences an emotion of deep affection for you and forges a connection with you that is greater than that other woman you’re considering being with.
