Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see this guy
This guy's in love with you
Yes, I'm in love
I love you the way I do

When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you? I plan
I got to know you 'cos I heard some talk

They say you think I'm fine
Yes, I'm in love
And what I do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so?

Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking cos
I need your love, I want your love

Say you're in love
In love with this guy
If not I'll just die
Tell me now, is it so?

Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart keep breaking cos
I need your love, I want your love

Say you're in love



In love, with this guy
If not I'll just die

Overall Meaning

Engelbert Humperdinck's song "This Guy's in Love with You" is all about a man who confesses his love to a woman. At the start of the song, the lead singer addresses the woman and tells her that he is in love with her. He goes on to describe his deep feelings and how he loves her.


The singer then goes on to elaborate on their relationship - how he can tell by her smile that they know each other well. However, he is unsure of how to express his feelings and show her that he cares. He explains that he had to get to know her because he had heard some talk about her.


The chorus that follows has the singer begging the woman not to keep him in the dark about her feelings towards him. He is constantly worried that she might not return his love, and this uncertainty is making him very nervous. Finally, at the end of the song, he pleads with her to tell him that she loves him before he dies.


Overall, the song is a beautiful and sentimental confession of love, featuring tender but strong vocals, and accompanied by gentle string instrumentals.

"Nadie me dijo que existías, nadie me avisó que habitabas en este plano, nadie, absolutamente nadie me dijo algo de ti...comprendo que nunca supe de amor ni de cariño, ... a tu lado me vuelvo de amor como un niño. " (POema Tomamife)
