This song truly sings of the ultimate depths of a woman’s heart.

When you fall in love, you want to express your feelings in every possible way, but in the end it may all come down to wanting a child with the man you love.

It conveys a woman’s natural emotion of wanting to cast aside all pride before the one she loves and be completely bare—heart and body alike.

There are times when, in the midst of being in love, you suddenly worry whether the person you like truly loves you.
