You and Me Baby
Chuck Prophet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sittin' in a movie
And I'm starin' at the screen
They're draggin' Jesus from the town
It don't look good to me

Well, if I had a bucket
I'll bet He had a spoon
I'd go down to that river bed
I'd bring that river home to you

Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?

Lovers rode the wheels
Right off the gravy train
They could've shot that mother down
But they didn't, just the same

Oh, and the women threw their panties
And the women threw their bras
Elvis hung his head and said
"They'll forget me when I'm gone, when I'm gone"

Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Oh, would you love me?
Would you really love me?

I was afraid you wouldn't answer
Did I wake you up?
Listen, I still got this box of band aids here
I'm not bleedin' to patch things up

Oh, there's still some at the bottom
Yeah, I got the box right here
Man, if I could hold that moment to my chest
I swear I'd disappear

Oh, would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Would you love me?




Would you really love me?
Alright

Overall Meaning

The song "Would You Love Me" by Chuck Prophet is a poignant contemplation on love, faith, and loyalty. The first verse portrays the singer as a moviegoer who is watching Jesus being dragged out of town and feels disturbed by what he sees. He then uses a metaphorical image of the riverbed to describe his love for someone, implying that if he had the right tools, he would move mountains to bring this person what they need.


The second verse portrays the lives of lovers, who have lost everything in their pursuit of a dream, but still hold on to the hope that the world will not forget them, despite their mistakes. Elvis is used as a symbol of this kind of longing for immortality. The third verse is more personal, where the singer is reaching out to someone asking if they would love him, and if they had the patience to listen to his troubles. He uses a box of band-aids as a metaphor for their relationship, implying that it is a way for him to fix himself and to keep himself together.


The chorus is repeated throughout the song, asking if the person he is addressing would love him. It evokes feelings of vulnerability and insecurity, as if he is searching for confirmation from someone else that he is worthy of being loved.


Overall, "Would You Love Me" is a moving and introspective song with a lot of depth and emotion.


Line by Line Meaning

Sittin' in a movie
I am watching a movie


And I'm starin' at the screen
I am looking intently at the movie screen


They're draggin' Jesus from the town
The movie scene depicts Jesus being taken away from the town by force


It don't look good to me
I don't approve of what's happening in the movie


Well, if I had a bucket
If I had a container


I'll bet He had a spoon
I imagine Jesus had a utensil with him


I'd go down to that river bed
I would go to the riverbank


I'd bring that river home to you
I would bring the water from the river home to you


Would you love me?
Do you still love me?


Would you really love me?
Would you truly love me?


Lovers rode the wheels
People in love took advantage of the circumstances


Right off the gravy train
They enjoyed the benefits while they lasted


They could've shot that mother down
They had the power to end it all


But they didn't, just the same
But they chose not to do so anyway


Oh, and the women threw their panties
The women in the crowd were so excited that they threw their underwear


And the women threw their bras
The women in the crowd were so excited that they threw their bras


Elvis hung his head and said
Even Elvis, the king of rock and roll, was disappointed


"They'll forget me when I'm gone, when I'm gone"
He knew that people would forget him eventually


I was afraid you wouldn't answer
I was scared that you wouldn't respond


Did I wake you up?
Did I disturb your sleep?


Listen, I still got this box of band aids here
I still have this box of band aids with me


I'm not bleedin' to patch things up
I don't need to bleed in order to fix things


Oh, there's still some at the bottom
There are still some band aids left in the box


Yeah, I got the box right here
I have the box with me


Man, if I could hold that moment to my chest
If only I could cherish that moment forever


I swear I'd disappear
I would do anything to make that moment last forever


Would you love me?
Do you still love me?


Would you really love me?
Would you truly love me?


Oh, would you love me?
Oh, do you still love me?


Would you really love me?
Would you truly love me?
