He Loves Me
Алсу Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm enclacted, that's not how we used to be,
you used to want me home, talked for hours on the fone
never leave me alone, so where did we go wrong?
Then if he can't make up his mind, maybe I should go,
coz if he loves me or loves me not it's all I need to know!
CHOURS:
he likes to play around but it's got to stop
coz one thing that he forgot (what, what, what)
I can walk, walk away!
He loves me, he loves me not
I know that he's thinking that I'm around
but he's about to see that I'm history
if he don't make me belive that he loves me, he loves me!!
Taking for granted that I would always be around
tums up, defended if there's no I'll brake down!
It's if we'we got no where, if I am here he's always there
I sugest to make it clear, and prove that he really care!
it's time to realise that I can't take no more
does he love or love me not it's all I need to know!
CHOURS:
he loves me, he loves me not
he likes to play around but it's got to stop
coz one thing that he forgot (what, what, what)
I can walk, walk away!
he loves me, he loves me not
I know that he's thinking that I'm around
but he's about to see that I'm history
if he don't make me belive that he loves me, he loves me!!
Does he still love me?
Does he still care?
Coz I feel lonely when he's not here...
Does he still really love me?
Does he still really care?
Coz I'll still be so lonely when he's not really here...
Does he still really love me?
Does he still really care?
Coz I'll be with him only if he'll make it clear!
CHOURS:
He loves me, he loves me not
he likes to play around but it's got to stop
coz one thing that he forgot (what, what, what)
I can walk, walk away!
He loves me, he loves me not
I know that he's thinking that I'm around
but he's about to see that I'm history
if he don't make me belive that he loves me, he loves me!!
In this song, Алсу sings about a relationship that has lost its once intimate spark. The singer talks about how her partner has become distant, and the passion and affection that they used to share have dwindled away. She reminisces about how they used to talk for hours on the phone, but now all they do is argue. She wonders where they went wrong and why things have changed so drastically. Алсу begins to think that maybe it's time to move on, especially if her partner can't decide how he feels about her. The chorus repeats the phrase "He loves me, he loves me not," which is a common childhood game used to determine someone's affection. However, in this case, the phrase takes on a more somber tone, as Алсу is uncertain about her partner's feelings towards her.
The lyrics in the second verse convey Алсу's feelings of being taken for granted. She mentions that she feels like she's always there for her partner, but it's not reciprocated. They've reached a point where they aren't sure where their relationship is headed. Алсу suggests that they need to make things clear between them and prove that they genuinely care for each other. She expresses that she can't take it anymore and needs to know if he loves her or loves her not. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the uncertainty and frustration that the singer is feeling about her relationship.
