Darin Bobby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
But there were times
You made me feel so bad
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do
Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you
At first glance, Darin Bobby's song You Made Me Love You seems like a typical love song with a happy-go-lucky melody. However, upon closer inspection, the lyrics convey a more complex emotion of an unrequited love. The lyrics present a protagonist who did not intend to fall in love with someone but was made to do so. This person is both happy and unhappy in this relationship and at times feels like they are not getting enough love from their partner. The lyrics suggest that the person is trapped in this cycle of love and cannot escape it.
The lines "You made me happy sometimes, you made me glad, but there were times you made me feel so bad" reveal the complicated nature of the relationship. Even though the singer is in love, they are not always happy or content with their partner. The lyrics "You made me cry for, I didn't wanna tell you" suggest that the singer is hiding their true feelings and struggling to communicate with their partner. They want to be loved by someone who loves them just as much as they do, but they do not know how to express these feelings.
Overall, the song explores the theme of unrequited love and the complications of a one-sided relationship. The singer is both happy and unhappy in this relationship, and they are unable to break free from it. Despite their unhappiness, they are still deeply in love with their partner and will continue to endure these emotions.
