Double You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and I my friend, one day will meet again
You're the feeling the greatest one of all
Hey little girl, crying in your sleep
You need a man to love, a man to stand by you
You're the feeling the greatest one of all
I'm coming back to you, for good
I'm feeling low
All that we got is each other
[Chorus: ]
Looking at my girls in the eyes
She's tearing me apart
She's tearing me apart
I don't know the way that you feel
She's tearing me apart
She's tearing me apart
I imagine you, lying in your bed
You can't forget at all the memories in your head
You're the woman, that everyone desires
You touched my soul
I'm coming back to you, for good
I'm feeling low
All that we got is each other
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Looking at my girls in the eyes
The song "Looking At My Girl" by Double You is a heart-wrenching ballad about the universal theme of lost love and longing. The song starts with the singer reminiscing about a past relationship and how he and his former lover will meet again someday. He then appeals to a "little girl" who is crying and needs a man to love and stand by her. The singer complements her by calling her "the feeling the greatest one of all" which shows his appreciation for her vulnerability and possibly indicates that he sees himself in her. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the singer being torn apart by looking into the eyes of his current lover, potentially due to the regret he feels for his past and the love he still holds for the previous relationship.
The second verse introduces another character, a woman who is desired by everyone and can't forget the memories of her past lover. The narration could imply that the current lover is jealous of her past or could be struggling to love her like her previous lover did. The chorus continues to repeat, emphasizing the emotional turmoil the singer feels while being with his current girlfriend. This song is relatable as it speaks to people who have experienced heartbreak, regret, and the struggle to move on with their lives.

Estava procurando por esta música e a encontrei por acaso, pois não lembrava do Título, só da sequência harmônica.
Quando esta música estourou aqui no Brasil (1992), eu tinha 9 anos de idade.
Então, lembra muito a minha infância.
Parece que Música parou nos anos 90. Até àquela época, só tínhamos músicas de qualidade no mundo inteiro.
De 2001 pra cá, a qualidade da Música no mundo inteiro caiu muito.
