You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me
CHEVALIER Maurice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never will I meet one sweeter than you.
Would you turn away or could you
Really every care,
If I'd ever dare to say,
"I Love you."
[Chorus]
They'd sing much sweeter than they do,
For you brought a new kind of love to me.
If the Sandman brought me dreams of you,
I'd want to sleep my whole life through,
For you brought a new kind of love to me.
I know that you're the queen, and I'm the slave,
And yet you will understand
That underneath it all
You're a maid, and I am only a man.
I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you;
For you brought a new kind of love to me.
The lyrics of the song You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me by CHEVALIER Maurice is all about falling in love with a woman who is sweeter than anyone else. The singer is enraptured by her beauty and wonders if she would be receptive to his affections. He addresses her as a queen and himself as a slave but notes that at the heart of it all, she is a maid and he is just a man. He pledges to work hard all day to be able to come home to her at night because she has brought a new kind of love into his life.
The imagery used in this song is simple yet powerful. The use of flowers and nightingales invokes an idyllic and romantic setting that complements the sweet love that the singer is feeling. The lyrics also touch upon the inequality that is present in their relationship, with the woman being compared to royalty and the man just a commoner. However, the singer's admiration for the woman is not diminished by this, and he continues to pledge his love and loyalty to her.

Sweet one, fairer than the flowers,
You are incredibly sweet and beautiful, even more beautiful than flowers.
Never will I meet one sweeter than you.
I believe that there is nobody in the world who is sweeter than you.
Would you turn away or could you
I wonder if you would turn me away or if you could refuse me.
Really every care,
Would you really not care?
If I'd ever dare to say,
If I ever dared to tell you that
"I Love you."
I love you.
[Chorus]
The refrain of the song.
If the nightingales could sing like you,
If the nightingales could sing like you do
They'd sing much sweeter than they do,
They would sing even more beautifully than they already do.
For you brought a new kind of love to me.
You have brought me a completely new and unique kind of love.
If the Sandman brought me dreams of you,
If the Sandman brought me dreams of you at night,
I'd want to sleep my whole life through,
I would want to sleep forever, just dreaming of you.
For you brought a new kind of love to me.
You have brought me a completely new and unique kind of love.
I know that you're the queen, and I'm the slave,
I am aware of the fact that you are like royalty, and that I am like a servant.
And yet you will understand
But I think that you understand
That underneath it all
That deep down inside
You're a maid, and I am only a man.
You may be seen as a maid, and I may be seen as just another man.
I would work and slave the whole day through
I would be willing to work so hard
If I could hurry home to you;
If it meant that I could come home to you quickly;
For you brought a new kind of love to me.
You have brought me a completely new and unique kind of love.

Recorded on April 4, 1930.
Orchestra under the direction of Leonard Joy,
Most people know this from the Marx Brothers' attempt to get off a ship by pretending they're Chevalier (singing the song) in "Monkey Business" (1931).
