Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
But words are only words
Can you show me something else?
Can you swear to me
That you'll always be this way?
Show me how you feel
More then ever, baby
I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this
I don't want another lover at my door
It's just another heartache on my list
I don't want to be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this (woah)
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Now it's hard for me
When my heart's still on the mend
Open up to me
Like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me
And it's harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything, just to get you back again
Why can't we just try?
I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this (woah)
I don't want another lover at my door (woah)
It's just another heartache on my list
I don't want to be angry no more (woah)
You know I could never stand for this (woah)
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
Oh, oh-ooh-oh-whoa
Ooh, whoa
Ooh, whoa
Oh, oh
What if I was good to you?
What if you were good to me?
What if I could hold you 'till I feel you move inside of me?
And what if it was paradise?
And what if we were symphonies?
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you?
I don't want to be lonely no more
I don't want to have to pay for this (woah)
I don't want another lover at my door (woah)
It's just another heartache on my list
I don't want to be angry no more (woah)
You know I could never stand for this (woah)
So when you tell me that you love me, know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore

Even though this song has a different musical style than the old matchbox, I still like it. It adeptly conveys the frustrations and desire that drives us to avoid being alone. There's no mystery about the meaning, but it's articulate. At the very least, the Latin remix is a good make-out song (as my bf and I found out for ourselves). I do have the same question as wanderlust, though. I see a few possible interpretations to that line:
1)It's metaphorical. He wants his lover to know him intimately on a mental level.
2) He's bisexual, and the other person is a man.
3) The other person is a girl, and he wants her to penetrate him with a strap-on.
4) The other person is still a girl, but Rob is anatomically confused.
