Love Really Hurts Without You
Billy Ocean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're givin' it to some other guy who gives you the eye
You don't give nothin' to me, you painted a smile
You painted a smile and you dress all the while to excite me
But don't you know you're turning me on
I know that it's wrong, but I can't stop this pain inside me
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do, baby
Love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you
You walk like a dream and you make like you're queen of the action
You're using ev'ry trick in the book the way that you look
You're really something to see
You cheat and you lie to impress any guy that you fancy
But don't you know I'm out of my mind, so give me a sign
And help to ease the pain inside me
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do, baby
Love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do without you
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do, baby
Love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do
Baby, love really hurts without you
Love really hurts without you
And it's breaking my heart
But what can I do, baby
Love really hurts without you
Love really hurts through and through
And it's breaking my heart
In Billy Ocean's song "Love Really Hurts Without You," the singer is expressing the pain that they feel after a breakup. Despite the fact that their former partner is now seeing someone else, they are still deeply in love and cannot seem to move on. The singer acknowledges that their former partner is playing games and using their looks and charms to impress others, but they cannot help the fact that they are still in love. The chorus repeats the message – that love truly hurts without the other person – and that it is causing a great deal of pain.
The lyrics can be interpreted in a couple of ways. One is that despite the pain the singer is feeling, they are still holding onto hope that their former partner will come back to them. They are asking for a sign or some indication that their love is not completely one-sided, and that the other person still has feelings for them. Another interpretation is that the singer is acknowledging that they are in a toxic cycle with their former partner – they are constantly hurt by the other person's actions, but they cannot help but feel the pain of the breakup.
Either way, the lyrics are heartfelt and speak to the fact that love can be both wonderful and painful at the same time. The song captures the feeling of heartbreak perfectly, and Billy Ocean's smooth voice adds to the emotion of the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
You run around town like a fool and you think that it's groovy
You feel carefree as you act impulsively around the city
You're givin' it to some other guy who gives you the eye
You are flirting with someone else who is flirting back with you
You don't give nothin' to me, you painted a smile
You don't reciprocate my affection and pretend to be happy
You painted a smile and you dress all the while to excite me
You dress provocatively with a fake smile to catch my attention
But don't you know you're turning me on
You captivate me despite your lack of commitment to our relationship
I know that it's wrong, but I can't stop this pain inside me
I feel hurt knowing that you're with someone else and I can't help but feel this way
You walk like a dream and you make like you're queen of the action
You walk with confidence and act like you're in control of everything
You're using ev'ry trick in the book the way that you look
You use all the tricks that you know to attract anyone you fancy
You're really something to see,
You are stunning to look at
You cheat and you lie to impress any guy that you fancy,
You deceive and manipulate others to get their attention and affection
But don't you know I'm out of my mind, so give me a sign
You should know that I'm crazy about you and I need a sign that you feel the same
And help to ease the pain inside me.
Please show me that you care for me to help lessen the heartbreak I'm feeling
Love really hurts without you,
Not having you by my side brings great heartache
Love really hurts through and through
The pain of missing you permeates every aspect of my being
And it's breaking my heart
My heart is shattering because of my love for you
But what can I do, baby,
I'm helpless because I can't control how much I love you
