Straight From The Heart
Doolally Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's clear to me how much that we share,
And sometimes if you feel like your falling,
Be sure to know that I will be there, I will be there.
Yeah I will be there,
How much that we share,
Yeah I will be there.
And no-one that can keep us apart,
This love that we have got is forever,
It's true when it comes straight from the heart,
Straight from the heart,
Straight from the heart,
Can't keep us apart,
Straight from the heart.
I'll be right here to catch you if you fall,
There's no need to doubt when we are together
And I knew right from the start that I could give my heart to you,
Don't you worry 'cause I'll be right by your side,
Yes I will be there (I will be there) that much that we share,
I will be there, always be there.
You know I will never deceive you,
Don't need me to show you I care,
I'll die before I ever will leave you,
Oh you know that I will always be there,
Always be there,
Oh I will be there,
Always be there,
Oh no, to show you I care, always be there.

The chorus, "Straight from the heart, can't keep us apart," underscores the depth of their connection, which cannot be diminished by anyone or anything. The lyrics suggest that the two partners are incredibly close, share many experiences and feelings, and support each other through life's ups and downs. The verse, "When we wake up close in the morning, it's clear to me how much that we share," illustrates how the singer recognizes the depth of their relationship right from the beginning of the day. They reassure each other that they will always be there for one another, no matter what, and that they will catch each other if they fall.
The song is a celebration of a strong and supportive partnership where each person is invested in making the other feel secure and loved. The lyrics suggest that their love comes "straight from the heart," which almost seems like a mantra that they repeat to themselves to remind each other how much they care. The song has a simple and catchy melody that reinforces the message of the lyrics - that love can overcome any obstacle and that it is the most important thing in life.
