Who Do You Love
Day Ta Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hopin' maybe you'll call
Not you, you'll break a date
You wouldn't wait at all
If I'm hard to handle (tell me 'bout it)
Here's my angle (think about it)
Takes two to tango and I ought to know
Who do you, Who do you, Who do you love?
Who do you, Who do you, Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Some girls do it right every night
and never ask for more
Not you, you know the score
You always ask what for
Where's the danger (tell me 'bout it)
We'll be strangers (think about it)
If it ever changes, I ought to know
Who do you, Who do you, Who do you love?
Who do you, Who do you, Who do you love?
Who do you love?
In the song "Who Do You Love" by Day Ta Day, the singer seems to be calling out a particular girl for being different from the rest. He points out that most girls sit at home waiting for a call from their love interest, but this girl is different - she breaks dates without hesitation and doesn't seem to care much about waiting. He then sings about how he might be difficult to handle, but it takes two people to tango and he knows that. He questions the girl's intentions by asking her who she loves and what her motivations are.
The second verse continues the theme of the girl being different from the norm. The singer suggests that most girls are happy with whatever they can get from their partner, but this girl is always asking for more. He questions the danger in their relationship and suggests that they could become strangers if things change.
Overall, the song seems to be a warning to the girl that the singer is onto her game and knows she's not like other girls. He's questioning her intentions and trying to figure out who she really loves.
