Lyrics meaning
The singer is strongly attracted to Caroline and wants her love and company. At first, the mood is playful and confident: he invites her to spend time together and dance. Later, he admits that he is alone and crying while thinking of her, and wonders whether she still cares. This change suggests that his desire may not be fully returned, or that they are apart.
โTurn me onto your loveโ means that her affection excites or deeply interests him. โAnytime of yours is my timeโ expresses eagerness to fit his life around hers. Taking her hand and โrock โnโ rollโ suggests both dancing together and enjoying an energetic, romantic connection.
The repeated invitations sound confident, but the questions about whether Caroline still cares reveal uncertainty beneath them. โIโve really got to make youโ could mean that he wants to win her over, though the wording can also sound forceful; the lyrics do not explain how she feels. Overall, the song can be heard as a lively love song with a more vulnerable note of longing.
