After You
David Hasselhoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I tell myself I'm leavin'
And I'd like to think I could really go
But it's just my pride, that I'm deceiving
¡®cause deep inside I really know

After you, who could there be
After you, what's left for me
I'd be lost if you ever go
I'd just be broken in two
¡®cause who could there be after you

Before you, I was always runnin'
My heart was always chasing someone new
But I could feel the change was coming
When my heart kept on chasing, chasing

After you, who could there be


After you, what's left for me
I'd be lost if you ever go
I'd just be broken in two
¡®cause who could there be after you

If I thought that someone could take your place
I'd just be kiddin' myself
¡®cause I know what have to be the fool
To think that I could feel this way for someone else

After you, who could there be
After you, what's left for me
I'd be lost if you ever go
I'd just be broken in two
¡®cause who could there be after you





¡®cause who could there be after you

Overall Meaning

David Hasselhoff's song "After You" is a poignant ballad about the fear of losing a lover and the aftermath of a failed relationship. The lyrics express the internal struggle of someone who is considering leaving a relationship, but ultimately realizes that they can't imagine themselves without their partner. The song starts by painting a picture of someone who may be considering leaving the relationship and talks themselves up by saying they could leave. However, the underlying feeling is that they can't leave, because deep down they know that their lover holds an irreplaceable place in their heart.


The lyrics then pose the rhetorical question, "After you, who could there be?" This line perfectly sums up the theme of the song - the fear of being alone and not being able to find someone who can compare to the one they love. The chorus repeats this question and drives home the sentiment that there is no one else for the singer.


The bridge reveals that the singer had a history of running and chasing something new before their current partner entered their life. But their partner changed everything, and now they are afraid of losing that one special person. The song closes with the reaffirmation that no one could replace the person they are singing to - they would be lost without them.


Overall, "After You" is a simple and relatable song about the fear of losing someone special. It speaks to those who have experienced the heartache of losing a lover and the uncertainty that comes with moving on.
