Who Do You Love
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're always so far away
Down below you used to tell the truth
Now you're lookin' for something to say
You give me those eyes
And then look away
Are you livin' a lie?
Is this some kind of game?
Baby, won't you tell me please?
Give me one good reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
Who do you love?
What makes you happen?
What do you need for satisfaction?
Who do you love?
I need an answer
Is it just about a good time, good time?
Who do you love?
I wish you'd lie or tell me the truth
So I can decide for myself
Maybe you've tried what we used to do
With somebody, somewhere else
Give me one reason to stay
When you won't come
Right out and say
The lyrics of Chicago's song "Who Do You Love" express the confusion and frustration of a person who is in love with someone they cannot fully understand. The singer speaks to their love interest, who is always distant and seems to be hiding something. The singer knows that there is a lack of honesty and transparency in the relationship and they question whether it's worth staying in it. They want their partner to be truthful, to give them a reason to stay, to explain what makes them happy and what they need to feel satisfied. The singer recognizes that there may be someone else in the picture and wonders whether they have tried with other people what they used to do with them.
The chorus of the song asks the question "Who do you love?" and begs for an answer. The singer wants to know if they are just a part of their partner's game or if they truly love them. They struggle with the decision of whether to stay or leave, and want their partner to be clear about their intentions.
Overall, the song is about the difficulty of being in a relationship with someone who is emotionally unavailable and the struggle to know whether to continue to invest in the relationship or not.
Line by Line Meaning
I never know what you're gonna do
I am never able to predict your actions
You're always so far away
You seem to be emotionally distant
Down below you used to tell the truth
Earlier you used to be honest about your feelings
Now you're lookin' for something to say
Now you seem to be at a loss for words
You give me those eyes
You give me a certain look
And then look away
But then avoid eye contact
Do you want me down on my knees?
Are you seeking submission or dominance over me?
Are you livin' a lie?
Is this a facade? Are you living a life of lies?
Is this some kind of game?
Is this a joke or a trick, are you playing games with my emotions?
Baby, won't you tell me please?
Please clear out the confusion and give me an answer
Give me one good reason to stay
Provide me with justification to continue in this relationship
When you won't come right out and say
When you are not being straightforward about the truth
Who do you love?
Who possesses your true affection?
What makes you happen?
What leads to your happiness? What is it that makes you feel alive?
What do you need for satisfaction?
What is it that satisfies you? What are your needs?
I need an answer
I require a response from you
Is it just about a good time, good time?
Is this relationship purely for fun, without any serious commitment?
I wish you'd lie or tell me the truth
I would rather you deceive me or reveal the truth to me honestly
So I can decide for myself
So that I can make my own choices accordingly
Maybe you've tried what we used to do
Perhaps you have been with someone else, doing the same things that we used to do

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
