Since I Fell For You
Clarence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so, and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're goneSince I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm so in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you
In Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown's song Since I Fell For You, the lyrics describe the struggles of loving someone who does not love you back. From the very first line, the song acknowledges the reality that sometimes love is unrequited and that staying in such a relationship will only bring misery and pain. Despite this, the singer admits that they cannot stop loving the person who has taken their heart, even though they know it's not good for them. The song hints that the person the singer loves may have left them, and now they are left feeling alone and missing their happy home. The chorus acknowledges that love can cause pain and misery, leaving one forever changed after falling for someone.
In the second verse, the singer repeats that love brings pain and misery and acknowledges that they may never see happiness in their love life. The third verse talks about the turbulent nature of the relationship, with the person the singer loves sometimes loving them and sometimes snubbing them. Despite this, the singer admits that they are still in love with this person, seemingly unable to break free from their grasp. The final chorus states that the singer still feels the blues at night and that they have not been the same since falling in love.
Overall, the song portrays the painful nature of unrequited love and how it can affect a person emotionally. Despite the tough lyrics, the song's use of soulful guitar riffs and Brown's emotive singing makes it a powerful piece that resonates with many.
Line by Line Meaning
When you just give love
If you offer love without receiving any in return
And never get love
And don't get any love back
You'd better let love depart
It's best to let the love go
I know it's so, and yet I know
I understand this is true, and yet
I can't get you out of my heart
I cannot stop thinking about you
You made me leave my happy home
You caused me to abandon my contented lifestyle
You took my love and now you're gone
You removed my affection and disappeared
Love brings such misery and pain
Love results in such agony and distress
I guess I'll never be the same
I don't think I'll ever be the way I was
Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you
Well, it's too bad
It's unfortunate
And it's too sad
And quite sorrowful
But I'm in love with you
But nevertheless, I'm deeply in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
You adore me, then you ridicule me
But what can I do?
But I can't do anything about it
I'm so in love with you
I'm completely and totally in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I don't think I'll ever understand
I get the blues most every night
I feel sad virtually every evening
Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you
