I Do
Bob and Wendy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For tonight
I'll make it okay
Just wrap me in your arms so that I can I fade away

And when the sun comes up
A crystal cup
A mirror in my face
Reflects the light of the day

Why do I feel this way
Why do I feel this way
Could stumble and kill
And no one would have anything to say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

For the sake
Of trying
I'll swallow my fear
And shrink from lying
And though my blood is crawling
And the spirit calling, oh
Let my eyes be open for the truth
Thats dawning

Why do I feel this way
Why do I feel this way
Could stumble and kill
And no one would have anything to say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

For the nights
I'll make it okay
Just wrap me in your arms
You won't fade away

Why do I feel this way
Why do I feel this way
Could stumble and kill
And no one would have anything to say
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey




Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "I Do" by Bob and Wendy capture the feelings of vulnerability and uncertainty in a relationship. The song talks about how the singer wants to be embraced by their partner and forget about their fears and worries. The lyrics "For tonight, I'll make it okay, just wrap me in your arms, so that I can fade away" indicate the desire of the singer to escape from reality and find solace in their partner's arms. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is trying to hide their vulnerabilities, "I'll swallow my fear, and shrink from lying", and the need for them to open up to the truth that's dawning.


As the song progresses, the lyrics take a slightly different turn with the question "why do I feel this way" being repeated several times. The lines "Could stumble and kill, and no one would have anything to say" suggest that the singer feels stuck and powerless about their situation. The repetition of "hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye" creates a catchy tune but also gives a sense of desperation to the song.


Overall, the song "I Do" beautifully captures the complexity of emotions in a relationship, the desire to escape reality, the need to overcome one's vulnerabilities, and the frustration and confusion that can arise when things aren't going well.


Line by Line Meaning

For tonight
Just for this evening


I'll make it okay
I'll manage to get through it


Just wrap me in your arms so that I can I fade away
Hold me close so I can forget everything else


And when the sun comes up
Once morning arrives


A crystal cup
A clear glass


A mirror in my face
Looking at myself in the reflection


Reflects the light of the day
Shows the brightness of the morning


Why do I feel this way
What's causing me to feel like this


Could stumble and kill
Might make a mistake with fatal consequences


And no one would have anything to say
No one would speak up or try to stop me


Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heye
Vocalization, unrelated to the lyrics


For the sake
Because of


Of trying
The act of attempting


I'll swallow my fear
I'll hide my anxiety


And shrink from lying
I'll avoid being deceitful


And though my blood is crawling
Even though I'm very uncomfortable


And the spirit calling, oh
And my heart longing


Let my eyes be open for the truth
May I be aware of what's really going on


Thats dawning
That's becoming clear


For the nights
During the evenings


Just wrap me in your arms
Hold me tightly


You won't fade away
So I won't lose you
