Ride on
Chris Barber & Dr. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause your love is sweet, your love is sweet.
'Cause your love is sweet, your love is sweet.
'Cause your love is sweet, your love is sweet.
I pray that just this once,
I will get exactly what I want.
You say you'll leave tomorrow, say you'll stay!
And take me to your hideout one more time.
Stay here now.
Stay here, 'cause then when I'm falling the downhills will all be worth it,
To get that high.
One last ride.
The repeated phrase "Cause your love is sweet, your love is sweet" in Chris Barber and Dr. John's song "Ride On" conveys the message that the singer is completely enamored with his lover. The lyrics are essentially an ode to love that is so powerful and sweet, it's worth risking everything for. The prayer that the singer makes in the second verse is an interesting twist to the song. The singer knows that their relationship may not last forever, but they want one last "ride" with their lover - to revel in the sweetness of their love.
The lines "Stay here now. Stay here, 'cause then when I'm falling the downhills will all be worth it, To get that high" is a metaphor for the ups and downs of a relationship. It implies that even during the bad times in a relationship, the sweetness of love makes it all worth it. The lyrics suggest a longing for something cherished and fleeting that is impossible to forget. The song represents an inner reflection on the relationship and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with love - the joys, the excitement, the pain, and the yearning.
