Dammit I love you
Dennis East Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear you say you're not home, it's crazy
'Cause I know you're there
Driving by your house and the lights are on
Know you're in and all alone, don't tell me
You don't care
All confused, tell me why you never look me in the eye, can't do this
Need to know where I stand to reassure me I'm your man, you said it
I'm the one
More than once before that I'm the one
Yes I love you, can't you see?
If you don't need me, set me free
But if you want me let me know or I'll just turn and go
Dammit I love you, can't you see?
If you don't need me, set me free
But if you want me let me know or I'll just turn and go
I waited all alone in the pouring rain one more time but you never came, don't tell me
You forgot
I'll understand if you come clean, say there's someone on the scene, or is it
My love or not?
All confused, tell me why you never look me in the eye, can't do this
Just for fun
Need to know where I stand, to reassure me I'm your man, you said it
I'm the one
More than once before that I'm the one
Dammit I love you, can't you see?
If you don't need me, set me free
But if you want me let me know or I'll just turn and go
Dammit I love you, can't you see?
If you don't need me, set me free
But if you want me let me know or I'll just turn and go (Gonna turn my back and go)
Dammit I love you (Love you)
Can't you see? (Can't you see)
If you don't need me, set me free
But if you want me (If you want me)
Let me know or I'll just turn and go (I'll turn and go)
In the song "Dammit I love you" by Dennis East, the singer is deeply in love with someone who seems to be giving mixed messages about their feelings. The singer is constantly questioning whether or not their love interest returns their feelings, as they receive conflicting behavior from them. Throughout the song, the lyrics illustrate the singer’s need for clarity, they want their love interest to let them know if their love is reciprocated or not. The singer has gone to great lengths to prove their love to the other person, even waiting in the rain for them but they were let down.
The lyrics are laced with frustration and confusion as the singer is at their wit's end trying to figure out the ambiguity of their relationship status. They want to know where they stand with their love interest so they can have a clear understanding of what their future holds. The chorus repeats the phrase "Dammit I love you, can't you see?" which is a plea for their love interest to be honest with them. The lyrics depict the singer as feeling trapped in a one-sided love affair that seemingly has no certainty or future. The song is a testament to the agony of unrequited love and the powerlessness one feels when in that situation.
