The spiritual context of this song can be understood in many ways. Its giving her a weak level of control, or 'impressing' young minds to believe sex= love & affection. She's giving it the appearance of love and affection, but in truth is saying my love and affection is the only thing I feel I can offer you, which is repressive. Unfortunately Rihanna is doing her usual gig, promoting sex and her body as an object. Its almost like getting high, its a temporary euphoria, but you do crash afterwards.

However, it makes people feel good, and feel loved, for that temporary moment. Which people normally equate sex with love, especially young people who don't understand the value of making metaphysical connections with other people. However, in another part is saying sex=love and affection. This whole song physically is in part saying, we're human beings with deep emotional needs and we need love and affection. Then she slips in the word maybe, which means I might demand a lot from you, once I get you (which isn't limited to stress, drama, or the consequences of a relationship). Basically claiming that she's a simple lover, almost to entice a guy who probably doesn't want to commit to anything serious. If you look at it my way, its like he's enticing the female as well 'saying I'm emotional like you too, I won't play you.' Rihanna goes into the song saying 'Oh baby I'm not asking for the world MAYBE'.

He says ' I don't want to give you the wrong impression, I need love and affection.' Which is simple to understand, he's admitting that he's a human being with emotional needs, despite being a man or a player. One being physical and one being spiritual.įor the physical interpretation, Rihanna has Future singing the hook to this song. Boy lately you been stingy with your time Got me wondering, I'm wondering if I'm on your mind Boy I just wanna be in your possession Say I'm the one you want so come express it Don't slip, don't slip Cuz a n*gga might push upon it Don't really wanna lose this moment Why window shop when you own this Ah-Ah-Ah don't put it down Ah-Ah-Ah don't f*ck around I-I-I want you now I want you now I don't wanna give you the wrong impression I need love and affection And I hope I'm not sounding too desperate I need love and affection Love, love, love, love and affection Love, love, L.O.V.EEEE and affection Can you love me for poor I'm searching for my soul Whoever turned you cold You need to let em know I can work miracles I'll work ya physical And when I hold you close you can heart beating from my clothes I don't wanna give you the wrong impression I need love and affection And I hope I'm not sounding too desperate I need love and affection Love, love, love, love and affection Love, love, L.O.V.In my perspective songs can have dual meanings.

I got love and affection lyrics future
