I Do
Bob and Wendy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

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
