LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one ever could
I wish someone would have warned me
That you would be so good
Oh, you you you you've ruined me
Oh, you you you you've ruined me
Go on and take a bow
I can't help loving how you've ruined me
Yeah, you've ruined me
Guess my hands are tied here
How far do you want to take this
If my mouth's done too much talking
You should stop me with your kiss
Oh, you you you you've ruined me
Oh, you you you you've ruined me
Go on and take a bow
I can't help loving how you've ruined me
Yeah, you've ruined me
To me it's a revelation
To you it's no surprise
All the things that you do to me
That make me come alive
I could be the best thing
That's ever happened to you
Touch me, hold me, teach me, show me
How to ruin you too
Oh, you you you you've ruined me
Oh, you you you you've ruined me
Go on and take a bow
I can't help loving how you've ruined me
Yeah, you've ruined me
The song "You've Ruined Me" by LeAnn Rimes is a love song about being in a passionate and consuming relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has never felt love and passion like this before and nobody could ever love her better. She sings about being warned that her lover would be good, but nobody warned her that she would be ruined by this love. The chorus repeats the phrase "you've ruined me" in a not-so-negative way, instead suggesting that the way her lover has consumed her has made her love him even more. The second verse suggests that the singer's hands are tied in this relationship, but she can't stop talking about her love for her partner. The bridge reiterates that this love is a revelation for the singer, while for her partner, it's no surprise. She urges her partner to touch her, hold her, teach her, and show her how to ruin him too.
The lyrics to "You've Ruined Me" can be interpreted in multiple ways. On the surface, the song is about a romantic relationship where the singer feels like she's been consumed by the love and passion she feels for her partner. However, the lyrics could also represent a more toxic and potentially abusive relationship. The line "guess my hands are tied here" could indicate that the singer is trapped or controlled by her partner. Additionally, the lyrics about being ruined and consumed could suggest that the relationship is unhealthy and potentially damaging to the singer's well-being.

on I Need You
I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
With all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da), ooh
Ooh
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again, oh yeah
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Ooh, yes I do, oh
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da)
Oh, yes I do (dada, dada, da)
I need you (dada, dada, da)
Oh, ooh-ooh (dada, dada, da)
Ooh-ooh (dada, dada, da)
I need you, oh (dada, dada, da)
(Dada, dada, da)
I need you (dada, dada, da)
