Too Used to Being With You
Bobby Bare feat. Skeeter Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[ Both ]
Mhm too used to that certain someone to offer my love to anyone new
My excuse for not wanting no one too used to being with you
[ Skeeter ]
When you lose a true love you treasure other affairs are just to pass time
You find a kiss just a cheap imitation the love they offer's not real genuine
[ Both ]
Too used to that certain someone...
[ Bobby ]
Some other's arms may hold and caress you and some other's lips may burn on my own
While my eyes are filled with their beauty my heart inside will be crying alone




[ Both ]
Too used to that certain someone...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bobby Bare's song "Too Used to Being With You" revolve around the theme of being unable to move on from a past love. The lines "Mhm too used to that certain someone to offer my love to anyone new" and "My excuse for not wanting no one too used to being with you" suggest that the singer is still holding on to his/her feelings for a previous partner and is hesitant to pursue a new relationship. The repetition of the phrase "too used to being with you" further emphasizes the idea that the individual is comfortable with his/her past and is not ready to let go.


Skeeter's lines, "When you lose a true love you treasure other affairs are just to pass time / You find a kiss just a cheap imitation the love they offer's not real genuine," suggest that the person has lost faith in finding a true love again. He believes that any other relationship will simply be a "cheap imitation" and will not have the same level of genuineness as his previous love. The lines highlight the gravity of heartbreak and the difficulty in moving on from a deep connection.


Bobby's section of the lyrics shows that while he may try to move on, his heart still yearns for his previous love. He acknowledges that others may hold and caress him, but his heart will still cry alone. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the idea that the person is too used to their previous love to move on.
