Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby it was uncool to love me
Then leave me standing here now
Without a goodbye
And maybe I am the fool you call me
'Cause I'll be here standing,
Waiting to hear you say to me

To love you (to love you)
Forever (forever)
Hey love now
Come and love me forever more

I'm ready, (you know I'm ready)
To love you (to love you)
Forever (forever)
Hey love now
Come and love me forever more

Sometimes, when I'm alone, I feel sad
I know you'll leave me once again
And take my pride
And maybe I am the fool you call me
'Cause I'll be here standing
Waiting to here you say to me

I'm ready, (you know I'm ready)
To love you (to love you)
Forever (forever)
Hey love now

Line by Line Meaning

Baby it was uncool to love me
It was unkind to act like you loved me and then leave me without a goodbye


Then leave me standing here now
You left me alone, feeling helpless and hurt


Without a goodbye
You didn't even say farewell when you left me


And maybe I am the fool you call me
I know you think I'm foolish for still loving you despite everything


'Cause I'll be here standing, Waiting to hear you say to me
But I'll always be here waiting for you to come back and declare your love for me again


To love you (to love you)
I am willing and ready to love you with all that I have


Forever (forever)
I want to love you for all eternity


Hey love now
The one I love


Come and love me forever more
Please come back to me and love me forever


Sometimes, when I'm alone, I feel sad
When I am all by myself, I feel lonely and unhappy


I know you'll leave me once again
I am aware that you will leave me once again


And take my pride
Your departure would wound my pride and self-esteem


And once again I'll be right here Waiting to share your love
However, I will still be waiting, hoping that we can share our love again


But I hope this time for once We'll forever mend it oh
I hope this time, we can fix what was broken between us and never have to part again


Oh, I'm ready, yes I am
I'm ready and willing to make a commitment to you


Hey love (and ever baby)
My sweetheart


Come and love me forever more (promise you'll love me)

My sweetheart, forever and always
