Love Is Overdue
Gregory Isaacs Lyrics

Listen darlin'

Now who's gonna hold and squeeze me tight

Now that she's gone out of my life

Who's gonna make me feel the way she used to do, yeah
The artist is asking who can replace his past lover in giving him the same feeling and emotions.

Now that my love is overdue

I'm all alone in the wilderness
The singer feels isolated and lost like he is in a deserted place.

Searching to find saint peace and rest
The singer is seeking inner calmness and a sense of relaxation.

Although she wasn't the best girl
The artist acknowledges that his past lover might not have been the best fit for him.

But she brought happiness into my world
The artist recognizes that his past lover added joy and happiness to his life.

And now I'm a prison of loneliness

Said I'm a prison of loneliness

Now whose fuss (??) is gonna say goodnight
The artist is asking who will bid him farewell at night.

Who's gonna tell me lies and let me think the truth
The singer is missing his past lover's lies that he perceived as the truth.

Can you see right now
The singer is asking if the listener can understand his current state of mind.

And I don't know just what to do, yeah
The singer is confessing that he feels lost and doesn't know how to manage his life without his past lover.
