The song "Julia" by Pavlov's Dog is a love song about a man named Julia who has set the standards for the singer's love life. The singer is besotted with Julia and begs at her door just to be close to her. The first stanza talks about how Julia is the benchmark for what the singer wants in a romantic partner. The singer seems to be aware that Julia is aware of her appeal, and she wouldn't want anyone else. The repetition of "I can't live without your love" highlights the singer's strong feelings of love and attachment to Julia.
In the second stanza, the singer acknowledges Julia's plans and dreams and how he is just a man who is a part of her life. He pleads with Julia to see how much she means to him. The phrase "You're just a part of me" shows how intertwined the two are, and they cannot live without each other's love. The song ends with the singer declaring that he can't live without Julia's love, and she has him straight away.

Criminally underrated.
In a perfect world this masterpiece would have more views than Rolling Stone's Angie song.
@Endrit719
agree, this song is one of the most unique and most beautiful I've ever heard.
@davidjazay9248
Amen to that.
@audreyf2095
So sad they didn't get the crédit they deserve at the time !
@roosterhowerton7755
I couldn't agree more.. I searched for years to find this album with Julia.. then years later found some on CD.. another K-She 95 Classic that got very little air time.. except on their Classic Sunday Uman shows..
@michaelcraig9449
The playing and singing is much better than the Stones
@WhenAphroditeSpeaks
I heard this song 23 years ago in Greece and I had no idea who sang it. I was thinking and trying to find it for 23 years! I found it.
