Julie London Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is saying you don't love me --
Say it isn't so.
Ev'rywhere I go, ev'ryone I see,
They say you're growing tired of me --
People say that you, found somebody new,
And it won't be long before you leave me --
Say it isn't true,
Just say that ev'rything is still o - kay,
That's all I want to know;
And what they're saying, say it is - n't so.

The song is a poignant plea for emotional security and highlights the pain that rumors and hearsay can inflict on a relationship. By asking her lover to deny the rumors, the singer reveals the extent to which she trusts him and how much his affirmation means to her. Ultimately, the song is about the power of communication and the importance of clarity in relationships.
