Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, you're the cutest thing that I did ever see
I really love you, baby, won't you come with me?

Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind, oh, no

Every time you kiss me you just thrill me so
Never, never, never, never let me go

Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time, uh uh
Ooh, baby, I can't get you, out of my mind, oh, no

I cry with feeling when you're near me
I'm high as a ceiling, oh, baby, hear me

'Cause I'm thinking I love
Place none above you
Come here, pretty baby

I can't wait because my love is coming down
I feel the mood for you for you, pretty babe
I'd break mama's rule

Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time, oh, yeah
Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind

I never knew the thrill or ecstacy
So tell me that it's gonna be just you and me

Lovey dovey, lovey dovey all the time, uh huh




Lovey dovey, I can't get you out of my mind
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, no, no, no

Overall Meaning

The song Lovey Dovey by Clyde McPhatter is a classic love song that portrays the essence of young love. The first two lines are very clear, and they set the tone for the rest of the song. The song is about a man who has fallen in love with a woman, and he can't stop thinking about her. He regards her as the cutest thing he has ever seen, and he wants her to come with him. The first verse leads to the chorus of the song, where the main theme of the song is expressed. He can't get the woman out of his mind, and he wants to be with her all the time.


The second verse continues in the same vein as the first, with the singer describing how the woman's kisses make him feel. He never wants to let her go, and he expresses this in the chorus. The bridge of the song is a declaration of love. He cries when he's near her, and he's high when he thinks of her. He wants to be with her more than anything, and he can't wait for her. The final verse is a request for the woman to reciprocate the man's feelings. He has never felt such thrill or ecstasy, and he wants it to be just the two of them together. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus.
