Like I do
Dewi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could see me through your eyes
Would I have a rude awakening
Maybe look at someone I could fall in love with
Tell me what do you see

Imagine that I'd be a book
Would you like to read my pages
Would you judge me by the content or the cover
Please be honest to me

Baby do you ever dream about me
Like I do, about you
Feel the lonelyness when you're without me
Like I do, without you

If I could hear me through your ears
Would I know the deeper meaning
Of my words and would I understand the silence
If that be nothing to say

Baby do you ever dream about me
Like I do, about you
Feel the lonelyness when you're without me
Like I do, without you

Oh how I'd love to be in your shoes, for ones
Then I know if you feel love the same way as I do
But you don't show your feelings at all

Baby do you ever dream about me
Like I do, about you
Feel the lonelyness when you're without me
Like I do, without you





Oh Baby please I need to know...
Oehhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dewi's song Like I Do explore the themes of self-doubt and longing in a romantic relationship. The singer questions whether they would like who they are if they were someone else looking at them, and if they truly understand themselves. They also wonder if their partner dreams about them as much as they dream about their partner, and if they feel the same sense of loneliness when they are apart.


The first two lines of the chorus, "Baby do you ever dream about me / Like I do, about you," evoke a sense of yearning and vulnerability. The repetition of "like I do" emphasizes the singer's intense emotional connection to their partner and their desire for reciprocity. The bridge of the song adds another layer to this longing, as the singer expresses a desire to be in their partner's shoes, in order to see if their love is reciprocated.


Throughout the song, the singer's vulnerability is underscored by their repeated requests for honesty and their admission of not fully understanding themselves. Through these lyrics, Dewi captures the complexities and uncertainties of romantic relationships, and the deep emotional investment that can come with them.
