You Won
Jennifer Chung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I said that I would
Do you still want me?
I don't see how you could
This is the way that I've been
This is what I have to change
I want to be better
Have much more to offer
But I can't alone, so please say you'll stay
I'll win you over
I've never been so sure
Take my every word
All for you I'm for
I'll win you over
I'm never giving up
And though changing takes a long time
I'll do anything for love (for love)
I'm sorry, baby
But I meant all I said
It's just not the time now
So you go on ahead
This is the way that I've been
This is what I have to change
I want to be better
Have much more to offer
I'm gonna try alone, so please do not stay
But you've won me over
You've never been so sure
I took your every word
All for me, you were
You've won me over
Don't say you're giving up
You knew that changing took a long time
And would do anything for love
You told me all these things
For better or for worse
I recall every single moment
Stays with me like a curse
You can't just take it back
Your words were mine to keep
Just don't forget that I'm the one you need
(2x)
You've won me over
You've never been so sure
I took your every word
All for me, you were
You've won me over
Don't say you're giving up
You knew that changing took a long time
Said you'd do anything for love
You've won me over
You're never giving up
Don't ever say, don't ever say that you're giving up
You've won me over
You knew that changing took a long time
Said you'd do anything for love
Oh...
This is the way that I've been
There's so much I have to change
I'm gonna be better
Have much more to offer
But I can't right now, so hopefully one day
The lyrics of Jennifer Chung's song "You Won" are about a relationship that is on the rocks. The singer of the song is aware that she has been difficult and caused her partner frustration, but she still hopes that he will stay by her side as she tries to become a better person. She promises to do all she can for the sake of their love, and feels certain that she will be able to win him over.
At the start of the song, the singer wonders if her partner still wants her, even though she has been driving him crazy. She expresses the desire to change and improve, but acknowledges that it will be difficult to do so alone. However, while she asks him to stay, she also recognizes that she cannot force him to do so. In the second verse, she apologizes and tells him to go ahead and leave, but he surprises her by saying that he won't give up on their relationship.
The chorus is where the singer declares her certainty that she will win her partner back, expressing her dedication and commitment to their love. She promises to do anything for him and for their relationship, and is grateful that he is taking the time to give her the chance to change. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer acknowledging that she still has a lot to work on, but hoping that, someday, she will be able to be the kind of partner that he deserves.
