John Legend - Save Room Song Meaning



Say that you'll stay a little
Don't say bye bye tonight
Say you'll be mine
Just a little of bit of love
Is worth a moment of your time
Knocking on your door just a little
So cold outside tonight
Let�s get the fire burning
Oh, I know, I keep it burning right
If you stay, won't you stay stay

Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love save a little
Save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

This just might hurt a little
Love hurts sometimes when you do it right
Don't be afraid of a little bit of pain
Pleasure is on the other side
Let down your guard just a little
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me pretty baby
You will see I can be all you need
If you stay, won't you stay stay

Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love save a little
Save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

(Pa-ya-pa-pa) (Pa-ya-pa-pa) (Pa-ya-pa-pa) (Da-da-da)

Oh come on

Make time to live a little
Don�t let this moment slip by tonight
You never know what you are missing until you try
I'll keep you satisfied
If you stay, won't you stay stay

Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love save a little
Save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

(Fading)
Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save a little, save a little for me
Won�t you save a little
Save a little for me oh

Some say this song is about John Legend selling the girl the idea of "de-virginization". For once, I never saw a song in a perverted way. Others say it's a song to woo a girl. I personally think it's a about a couple in a rough, even "pain"ful patch where the guy is pleading with the girl for a little time to work on the relationship, and implying that he can show and give her better than he ever did before- if only she would ease up and let down her guard again.

I do not agree with you in that he is with a girl and want them to work out the relation ship or anything like that. I have listened to this song a hundred times and if you watch the video and listen the song closely you would realize that there are alot of different girls in it. If he was with a steady girl like "Ordinary People" then you could say that. In "Save Room" the different girls signifies different women in his life that he is not committed to. And he keeps telling each of them to save a little room for his love, ha what does that mean now? He just want one thing from them or a little romance but not much more. That's why all he needs is a little room for his love from all these women. To conclude he is a player in this song and only needs a little love not so much to be fully committed to these women.
