Double You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get the biggest feeling in your life
People come and people go
See the biggest feeling in your life
Oh when you're looking down
And you're on the floor
Everybody feels the way I feel
Oh nothing you can change
And all the world to you
Just seems so blue
Why did you do the thing Baby
Do the thing Baby
Why did you do the thing Baby
Do the thing Baby
You are, you are my world
You are, you are my world
You are, you are my world
You are, you are my world
I don't know what people say
Never stop believing in your life
Broken dreams with tragic scenes
See the biggest sorrow in your eyes
Oh when you're looking down
And you're on the floor
Everybody feels the way I feel
Oh nothing you can change
Or you can do
And all the world to you
Just seems so blue

Line by Line Meaning
I don't know why people talk
I'm unsure why individuals chatter
Get the biggest feeling in your life
Grasp the most significant emotion you'll encounter
People come and people go
Individuals arrive and depart
See the biggest feeling in your life
Discover the largest sensation you'll experience
Oh when you're looking down
At times when you are feeling low
And you're on the floor
And feel completely defeated
Everybody feels the way I feel
Others can relate to your emotions
Oh nothing you can change
There is nothing that can be altered
Or you can do
Or can be accomplished
And all the world to you
Everything appears bleak to you
Just seems so blue
Everything appears sad and depressing
Why did you do the thing Baby
Why did you act that way, darling?
Do the thing Baby
What did you do, my dear?
You are, you are my world
You are everything to me
I don't know what people say
I'm uncertain of people's statements
Never stop believing in your life
Always maintain your faith in your existence
Broken dreams with tragic scenes
Shattered aspirations accompanied by dreadful events
See the biggest sorrow in your eyes
Observe the most profound grief in your gaze
