That Love
Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then suddenly you're eight feet tall
She just walked in the room
And the gloomy room just glows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
You're such a drag from nine 'til five
Then all at once you're so alive
Or wrinkles her nose
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
And if you come up with the answer
You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired but you just can't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
The kind of game you just can't win
You come up with the answer
And you're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
So when that tingle hits you deep
And you're tired you don't sleep
Don't you take my word
Go and ask anyone who knows
That's the way love is
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
The song "That Love" by Darin speaks about the inexplicable and unpredictable nature of love. It highlights how love can transform someone's mood, outlook, and energy levels. In the first verse, the lyrics describe how the presence of a loved one can make a dull room come alive. The second verse suggests how the same person can turn someone's uneventful workday into a livelier one.
Love, as portrayed in the song, is a mystery that has not yet been deciphered. The third verse compares it to the world's 'oldest unsolved riddle' and speaks of how it's a game one cannot win. Even if someone claims to have figured it out, they're 'a better man than I, Gunga Din'. The final verse suggests that when one feels the intense sensation of love, they should go and seek the opinion of those who have experienced it themselves.
In conclusion, "That Love" is a song that embodies the enigma of love. It speaks of how love can make someone feel invincible, how love can improve someone's life just by being present. Yet, it cautions listeners that love is also something that has puzzled mankind for eons.
Line by Line Meaning
You're feeling low and oh, so small
You are feeling down and insignificant
Then suddenly you're eight feet tall
When she enters the room, you feel confident and empowered
She just walked in the room
She has just entered the space
And the gloomy room just glows
The room becomes brighter and more cheerful when she is present
That's the way love is
This is the way that love manifests itself
That's how it goes
This is the typical experience of falling in love
You're such a drag from nine 'til five
You have a boring and unfulfilling job
Then all at once you're so alive
But when you think about her, you feel energized and inspired
It's just the way she winks her eye
It is the way that she subtly communicates her interest
Or wrinkles her nose
Or the way that she expresses herself non-verbally
It's the world's oldest unsolved riddle
Love is a mystery that has puzzled people for centuries
The kind of game you just can't win
It is impossible to control who you fall in love with
And if you come up with the answer
If someone claims to have figured out the solution
You're a better man sir, than I, Gunga Din
They are more successful than the person singing the song
So when that tingle hits you deep
When that feeling of attraction takes hold
And you're tired but you just can't sleep
When you are exhausted but you cannot stop thinking about her
Don't you take my word
Do not trust only my advice
Go and ask anyone who knows
Seek out the wisdom of others who have experienced love
That's how it goes
This is just how love works
