BECAUSE OF YOU
Cover Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to walk home all alone, it used to be so sad
I used to be all by myself, used to be so bad
Until you
You came along and took me by the hand
Until you
You came along and said that you'd be my man

[Chorus:]
Now I'm jumping up and down
Spinning all around because of you
Babe
I'm as happy as can be and it's definitely
Because of you
Babe
Just because of you...

I used to go to bed at night, wishing I had a friend
Someone to hold and squeeze me tight, one very special friend
Until you
You came along and told me you would be the one
Until you
You came along and held me in your arms

[Chorus]

You are a dream come true
And there's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do
Baby just for you

Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah

[Chorus]





I love you...

Overall Meaning

The song "Because of You" by Cover Girls is a classic dance-pop track from the late 1980s that speaks about finding true love and how it changed the singer's life for the better. The lyrics start by describing how lonely the singer was before meeting their significant other. The words "used to walk home all alone" and "used to be all by myself" evoke a sense of isolation and sadness. However, when the love interest enters their life, everything changes for the better. The lines "You came along and took me by the hand" and "You came along and said that you'd be my man" show how the person became a source of comfort and support for the singer.


The chorus emphasizes the happiness that the love interest brings into the singer's life. They are "jumping up and down" and "spinning all around" because of the other person. This joy and excitement are what makes the singer happy. The verse that follows talks about the absence of a friend before the relationship started. The singer "used to go to bed at night wishing [they] had a friend" to hold them tight. However, this all changes when the love interest enters their life. The significant other not only tells them that they are the one, but they also hold them in their arms.


The overall idea behind "Because of You" is that love can change a person's life for the better. It provides a sense of happiness, joy, and completeness that was not there before. The Cover Girls express this feeling well with their upbeat and catchy tune that was a hit in the late 1980s.
