I Will Be With You Again
Eric Burdon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's ten o'Clock in the morning
Can't get out of my bed
And I can't get you out of my head
I reach over and touch someone
But it isn't you who is there
Never did like love affairs

Said goodbye to my kid
Said goodbye to my wife
Packed up my bags, put them in my car
And said goodbye to this life
Everybody said I was crazy
How could lever leave you this way
I've been thinking a lot about you girl, today

I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Everybody is staring at me
Everybody looks so concerned
I wish they could listen to me
There's a lesson here to be learned
I haven't felt this good for a long time
So won't you please leave me be
Let me swim in the sea of tranquility

I will be with you again
I will be with you again
I will be with you again

Set me free

I wish I could talk through your heart
I wish you could hear what I say
Even though we're miles apart
You're with me every step of the way

I will be with you again

I will be with you one of these days 'Cause
I can't fee I nothin' but love
Thats all I feel




I can feet you, can you feel me?
'Cause your love has set me free

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "It's ten o'Clock in the morning, Can't get out of my bed, And I can't get you out of my head" suggests a narrator experiencing a sense of disorientation and confusion, symbolic of an attempt to overcome the loss of a significant other. The singer reaches out but realizes that what he needs can't be replaced by anything else. He then says goodbye to his kid, his wife, his life, and embarks on a brave journey. The lines, "Everybody said I was crazy, How could lever leave you this way, I've been thinking a lot about you girl, today" subtly suggest how his decision to leave was predicated on the emotive thralls of love. Despite the confusion, with the experience, the singer begins to feel good, and he wishes that everybody could listen to him to learn the best way to cope with the aftermath of a lost relationship.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses how his love for his significant other has set him free, and even though they are miles apart, his love for his significant other serves as a reassurance that they'll meet again someday soon. The lines, "I can't fee I nothin' but love, Thats all I feel, I can feet you, can you feel me? 'Cause your love has set me free" suggests that regardless of the confusion that met his decision to leave, he is settled now, and they'll be together again soon. The song reaffirms how love is all-consuming and how, despite the confusion it comes with, it sets people free.
