Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And invite you over some night
I'm gonna read you every line where you promised to be mine
And show you all the vows you made in black and white
But if you think you're fooling me with your love love letters
Well baby, now it's time you knew the score
I'm gonna find somebody new to write me love letters
And paper them all over yours
I'm gonna paper all my walls with your love letters
And invite you over some night
I'm gonna read you every line where you promised to be mine
And show you all the vows you made in black and white
But if you think you're fooling me with your love love letters
Well baby, now it's time you knew the score
I'm gonna find somebody new to write me love letters
And paper them all over yours
All over yours
In Dean Martin’s song, “I’m Gonna Paper All My Walls With Your Love Letters,” the singer is revealing his plan to confront his disloyal lover. The singer is going to take all of the love letters that his lover has sent him, and use them to showcase her deceit. The lyrics suggest that the singer will read all of the letters to her, pointing out her promises to love him, and reminding her of her vows to be his. However, this confrontation is not solely about airing out his grievances with his lover. Instead, the singer is using this moment to establish his power and independence, by finding someone else to write love letters to him, and then posting them all over hers.
The song highlights the pain of heartbreak, as well as the desire for revenge. The lyrics show the anger that the singer is feeling towards his lover and how he wishes to make it known to her. By reading her love letters back to her, he establishes that he knows what she has done and is willing to move on. In addition to this, the lyrics showcase the singer's newfound power that comes from finding someone new to write love letters to him, thus taking the power out of the hands of his unfaithful lover.

I'm gonna paper all my walls with your love letters
I plan to plaster your written promises all over my home
And invite you over some night

I intend to remind you of all the pledges you once made
And show you all the vows you made in black and white
I will reveal all of the written commitments you gave me
But if you think you're fooling me with your love love letters
However, if you believe you are deceiving me with these letters
Well baby, now it's time you knew the score

I'm gonna find somebody new to write me love letters
I will locate someone else to pen romantic letters for me
