It's Party Time
Eddy T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not a queen you're a woman take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why don't ask how
Don't ask forever love me now
I was an oak now I'm a willow now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me don't ask how of me
Don't ask forever of me love me love me now
I'm not a king I'm not a saint
I'm a man - this opening line of the song by Eddy T sets the tone for the entire song. It's not about grandeur, but rather about two ordinary people who are in love. The next line emphasizes the same thing, reminding the listener that the woman the song is addressed to is not a queen but just an ordinary woman. Together, they will create a space in their lives for each other and stay together until it's time to part ways.
The lyrics of the chorus are asking the woman not to question their love but to just love him in the moment. The love that Eddy T speaks of is timeless, it has no beginning and no end. He uses the metaphor of an oak tree that remains stationary, but then when it is cut down, it can become a willow tree that can bend and sway. Similarly, he is ready to change for his love, to be more accommodating, and to adapt to her needs.
The final verse tells us that even if he knows he will never see her again, he will still be with her until it's time for her to go. The chorus is repeated a final time with the same request, to not question their love but to love him in the moment.
