A Dylan original from Empire Burlesque, a slow piano-led love ballad later recorded by the O'Jays as the title track of a 1991 album.
The words
A heartfelt declaration that, whatever happens, the singer belongs to his lover body and soul and will stay that way.
The song is a straightforward love letter, unusually unguarded for Dylan in this period. The singer pleads to be held and understood, and vows a devotion that does not depend on circumstances. It moves slowly, building to the title line at the close of each verse, with a feeling close to a classic pop standard. The recording is spare by the album's standards, carried by keyboards and a gentle rhythm under a tender vocal.
