I'm In Love
Dramatics and the Dells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I called your name out loud
Could you see me
With your head stuck in a cloud
How can you see
That I'm in love with you
But you just walk on by
Hung up on yourself
Oh
Fall in love, lady love
Be my lady, please lady love
You can touch me
If you would just hold out your hand
I'm always near you
Trying hard as I can
To make you notice
That i;m in love with you
When you ignore me so
Wandering to and fro
Hung up on yourself
Oh
Fall in love, lady love
Be my lady , please lady love
I'm so in love with you, lady love
Be my lady, please lady love
Fall in love, lady love
Be my lady, please lady love
I'm so in love with you, lady love
Be my lady , please lady love
Fall in love
The lyrics of Dramatics and the Dells' song "I'm In Love" are about unrequited love. The first verse poses a question to the object of the singer's affection, asking if the person would notice them even if they called out their name or if they were so busy with their own thoughts that they wouldn't even see them. The second verse continues with the theme of being unnoticed by the person the singer is in love with, asking rhetorically how they could have missed the signs of the singer's love. The chorus then pleads with the person to feel the same way and fall in love with the singer, asking them to be their lady love.
The lyrics are simple yet powerful, evoking the feeling of longing for someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's desperation and the raw emotion of the song.
