I Know That He's Mine
Emerald Caro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three o'clock on a late Sunday-morning
The candles have burned to their end
Found the pictures we've taken, and now I'm awaking, and sleeped my invisible friend
So I'm staring to the hands of my wall-clock
Seems like both of us just hanging round
Got no-one to want me, and nothing to hold, my body needs what he don't have
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answers his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine
The tracks of my tears keep on freezing
I'm melting the cold in the halls
Feel like I'm drowning, there's no-one around, and now I'm just climbing the walls
Perhaps if I played the seductress
A passionate woman or gall
He'd be there in a minute, the heat won't diminish, I'd wear nothing more than a smile
Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answers his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine
Charlie keeps singing that chanson
Your words always makes so much sense
And though they're in French, I've got no defense, I know that I'm reaching the end
The rumors keep flying around me
It's you I refuse to believe
He's right from the corner, he knows that I'm home now, and nobody calls me naive
Without him
I really don't mind
A little bit lonely
He'll make up in time
As long as he loves me
He'll answers his crime
The door stays wide open
I know that he's mine
The song "I Know That He's Mine" by Caro Emerald is a melancholic yet powerful piece about loneliness and longing for love. The lyrics depict a woman who is experiencing loneliness and is seeking love and affection from her significant other. The first verse sets the tone by highlighting her alone in her room at three o'clock on a late Sunday morning. She describes how she is going through pictures they have taken but then realizes that her significant other may not be the one to fill her loneliness because he doesn't have what her body truly needs. As the track progresses, she tries to find ways to grab his attention to fill the void. The lyrics suggest that she is willing to play the seductress to entice him.
The chorus of the song ("Without him, I really don't mind, a little bit lonely, he'll make up in time, as long as he loves me, he'll answer his crime, the door stays wide open, I know that he's mine") suggests that she is willing to wait for him to come around and love her as she loves him, no matter how lonely she may feel at times. She is convinced that she knows he is hers, hence the title of the song.
Overall, the song conveys an emotional and relatable feeling of loneliness and longing for one's significant other. The lyrics, coupled with Emerald's smooth and velvety voice, creates an intense and melancholic mood that resonates with listeners.

Three o'clock on a late Sunday morning
The candles have burned to their end
Found the pictures we've taken
And now I'm awaken and sleep's my invisible friend
So I'm staring the hands off my wall clock
Seems both of us just hang around
Got no one to warm me and nothing to hold
My body needs what it don't have
Without him, I really don't mind
A little bit lonely, he'll make up in time
As long as he loves me, he'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open, I know that he's mine
The tracks of my tears keep on freezin'
I'm melting the cold in the halls
I feel like I'm drownin', there's no one around
And now I'm just climbing the walls
Perhaps if I played the seductress
A passionate woman of guile
He'd be there in a minute, the heat won't diminish
He'd wear nothing more than a smile
Without him, I really don't mind
A little bit lonely, he'll make up in time
As long as he loves me, he'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open, I know that he's mine
Charlie keep singin' that chanson
Your words always make so much sense
And though they're in French, I've got no defense
I know that I'm reaching the end
So, rumors keep flying around me
It's you I refuse to believe
He's right 'round the corner
He knows that I'm home now
And nobody calls me naive
Without him, I really don't mind
A little bit lonely, he'll make up in time
As long as he loves me, he'll answer his crime
The door stays wide open, I know that he's mine

Greets from Brazil ! Honey, this girl is pure explosion !!!!!
Her voice is simply unforgetable !
@mellyx9226
Love your voice, Caro
@lastrada52
Despite the great Caro Emerald vocals, with its retro-sounding music, excellent musicianship, the recording sound itself is well produced. All made more interesting that it's not American, or English but Dutch. The last time we had something this exciting it was the Dutch rock band Focus -- with flutist Thijs Van Leer & the genius guitarist Jan Akkerman back in 1969. Hope Caro penetrates the hard American wall of today's music scene here & shower them with her excellent album.
