My Valentine
Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah
Sometimes, at night I cannot sleep
I think of you with revering
But like an ancient melody
You're beautiful but melancholy
Girl, if I could
Take the pain away from...
My Valentine
Tell me why
Why you never smile
What can I do
To get through to you
My funny Valentine?
I'd do anything just to see you smile
I know obsession is a sin
But I feel you underneath my skin
Are you the prize that I'll never win?
Because you haunt me like a thousand violins
But I won't give up, no, no
Until I earn your trust
'Cause you're a part of me
And it's my destiny to fly away with...
My Valentine
Tell me why
Why you never smile
What can I do
To get through to you?
Tell me you're...
My Valentine
Tell me why
Why you never smile
What can I do
To get through to you
My funny Valentine?
I'd do anything just to see you smile
Smile (to see)
Smile (your smile)
Smile (your touch, your smile)
To see (your face) your smile (your smile)
Smile (your smile, your touch)
Smile (your smile, your smile, your face)
Why won't you smile? (Why won't)
Smile (you smile?)
Smile (Why won't you smile?)
I'll make you smile (Oh, why won't)
Smile (you smile?)
Smile
Oh
The lyrics to Carl Thomas's song "My Valentine" reveal the singer's struggles with his obsession towards a woman who never seems to smile. The song starts by the singer expressing his thoughts about the woman he is deeply infatuated with. He talks about how he often thinks about her at night and finds her beautiful but melancholy, like an ancient melody. He wishes to take away her pain and make her happy.
However, the woman remains mysterious and elusive, and the singer feels obsessed with her. He confesses that he feels her underneath his skin and wonders if she is someone he will never win. Despite feeling like he is sinning by being obsessed with her, the singer cannot seem to give up his pursuit of her.
He continues to ask her why she never smiles and what he can do to reach her. He calls her his funny valentine and promises to do anything to see her smile. The chorus of the song repeats these lines several times, emphasizing the singer's desire to make this woman happy.
Overall, "My Valentine" is a romantic, melancholic, and slightly obsessive song about a man who cannot get over his attraction to a woman who seems impossible to reach.
