Passion, again, uses ‘she’ in the line, “Except that everyday she makes me feel like this.” By using this pronoun, Jeremy relays that ‘she’ makes him feel a loving feeling. Also, Passion explains how, “She takes care of (him).” Through the usage of ‘she’ Jeremy gives the listener the thought that one of the reasons he feels so strongly towards his lover is because she can help him when he is in need.
