Love Me Tomorrow
Boz Scaggs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know it's not in your eyes.
You say you can't take it night and day
But I know It's an alibi.
Deja where did we go wrong?
Why said that you'd be mine 'til the end of time.
Love me tomorrow, love me tomorrow
Love me tomorrow, love me tomorrow
I say it's a sad sort of play when you never let in my lines.
You say that I'm better off this way but I know it's all in your mind.
Deja where did we go wrong?
Why' said that you'd be mine 'til the end of time.
Love me tomorrow, love me tomorrow
Forget all your sorrow, love me tomorrow
Deja where did we go wrong?
Why' said that you'd be mine 'til the end of time.
Love me tomorrow, love me tomorrow
Forget all your sorrow, love me tomorrow
Ah-ooo
Hoo hoo hoo-hoo-hoo
Boz Scaggs’s song “Love Me Tomorrow” is a reflection of the confusion and uncertainty in a relationship. The lyrics describe a situation where one partner is unsure about their commitment to the relationship despite promising to love them anyway, while their significant other doubts their sincerity by reading through their body language. The singer expresses his frustration at not being able to get through to his partner and the feeling that it is all a game. In the chorus, the singer is begging his love to give him a chance to prove his worth and to love him tomorrow, despite their problems.
The lines "Deja where did we go wrong? Why said that you'd be mine 'til the end of time." capture the sense of confusion that arises when a relationship falls apart, and the singer is left wondering what went wrong. The repetition of “Love me tomorrow” and “forget all your sorrow” show the singer’s desperation to make things right in their relationship, to forget all the past hurts and problems, and to focus on a brighter future. The song is a plea for a second chance and an embrace of the hope that the future holds.

You say that you'll love me anyway
You claim to love me regardless of the circumstance
But I know it's not in your eyes.
But I can tell from your facial expression that this statement is untrue
You say you can't take it night and day
You claim that you cannot handle our love continuously
But I know It's an alibi.
But I suspect this is just an excuse
Deja where did we go wrong?
I have a sense of familiarity, where did we make a mistake?
Why said that you'd be mine 'til the end of time.
Why did you promise me forever?
Love me tomorrow, love me tomorrow
Love me a bit later, tomorrow could be another day
I say it's a sad sort of play when you never let in my lines.
I feel like it's a depressing act when you refuse to listen to me

You claim that I am better off without you

But I understand that you are only thinking that way
