Who Do You Love
Dorothy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find the love within
I came back to ley you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, do for love
You tried everthing
But you don't give up
In my world only you
Make me do for love
What I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I'm in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can't let go

And though I only want the best it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you

What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything
But you won't give up
In my world only you




Make me do for love
What I would not do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dorothy Moore's song "What You Won't Do For Love" depict a person who has been looking for love in all the wrong places and has finally realized that their search has been in vain. As the person reflects on their past experiences, it dawns on them that they have been searching externally for something that can only be found within themselves. They have finally come to the realization that their true love was right in front of them all along, and they have decided to confess their feelings to this person. The singer acknowledges that they have a thing for this person and cannot let go of their love. They claim to be in a daze from this love, and their friends are beginning to take notice of their strange behavior.


The chorus of the song further reiterates the lengths that some people go to find true love. The singer acknowledges that some people may travel all around the world searching for love, but may never find it. They sing about the things they are willing to do for love and how this person is the only one who can make them do things they would never usually do. Therefore, the singer is willing to put in the effort and sacrifices that come with love.

HERE ARE THE LYRICS TO THIS NEW SONG :
Oh you're hurt
Break a heart
Take your time
You'll be mine
Hey, I'm your reason for lying
Hey, I'm your reason for dying
Hey, I'm your reason to live
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Hey!
Major lies
Jesus Christ
They can't heal tonight
They won't save your life
Hey, I'm your reason for lying
Hey, I'm your reason for dying
Hey, I'm your reason to live
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Is it a beast or a man
Standing over you
With a gleam in his eye
You know what he's wanting to do
His wretched soul
He wants to take your life
You can't run
You're frozen inside
Who do you love
You're frozen inside
Who do you love
You're frozen inside
Hey, I'm your reason for lying
Hey, I'm your reason for dying
Hey, I'm your reason to live
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Who do you love when your love's a-run dry
Who do you love.......

Don’t Go Deep Down Low

Deep down in the castle dungeon
Don’t go to deep down in the dungeon
There is quicksand in the dungeon
You’ll get stuck
In the castle dungeon
You might not get out of there alive

Be careful when you take a dive
There are stones at the bottom
of that pool
Might hit your head
and not come up alive

Steady there my friend
Steady there my ole enemy
Steady there everyone
Stand on your ground
Down there
You won’t be found

Don’t go deep down low
You don’t belong there

Dorothy really is something else. They're like a band out of time, they don't belong in this generation of music, but holy fuck am I glad they're here.

@Anthony Salvino she could probably do a killer cover of White Rabbit!

Kerry Pike

@Antique Rosie that's what I was thinking! 🖤

Jackjude

A kind of one-note version.

Gen Boyer

@Anthony Salvino That's it! She does sound like Grace Slick!

Antique Rosie
