Ben Westbeech Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said to my self that I wouldn't do it
So i hope that this is true
You and me maybe were meant to be
I'm shure that
You and me oh
This is changing all my way
Sugar you make me smile
The lyrics of Ben Westbeech's song Sugar explore the idea of falling in love even when someone has made a conscious decision to reject the notion. The verse "I don't believe in love, I said to myself that I wouldn't do it" illustrates this thought process clearly. However, as the song progresses, the singer begins to question their stance on love when they say "so I hope that this is true, you and me maybe were meant to be." This shows that although the singer is wary of falling in love, they are open to the possibility that this one person may change their mind.
The chorus of the song is where the singer's feelings towards this person become more evident. Expressing gratitude and joy at the mere presence of this person, the singer says, "Sugar you make me smile." This "sugar" can be interpreted as a term of endearment for the person the singer is speaking about.
Overall, the lyrics of Sugar speak to the internal conflict that can arise when someone tries to protect themselves from the vulnerability of love, but ultimately succumbs to it.
