Problems
Everly Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will my problems work out right or wrong?
My baby don't like anything I do
My teacher seems to feel the same way too
Worries, worries pile up on my head
Woe is me, I should have stayed in bed
Can't get the car and my marks ain't been so good
Problems, problems
Problems
They're all on account of my lovin' you like I do
Problems, problems
Problems
They won't be solved until I'm sure of you
You can solve my problems with a love that's true
Problems, problems, problems all day long
Problems, problems, problems all day long
The lyrics of the Everly Brothers' song "Problems" touch upon the various challenges and difficulties that the singer is experiencing in different aspects of their life. The recurring theme of problems emphasizes the overwhelming nature of these issues and the frustration that the singer feels. The first verse highlights the strain in their romantic relationship, with their partner disapproving of everything they do. This contributes to a sense of unease and uncertainty.
The second verse expands on the singer's worries, which seem to accumulate and weigh heavily on their mind. They express a feeling of regret, wishing they had chosen to stay in bed instead of facing these troubles. The mention of not being able to get the car and struggling with academic performance adds to the list of challenges they are facing. The final line of the verse indicates that their love life is not going smoothly and is not meeting their expectations or desires.
The chorus reiterates the central theme of problems, emphasizing that all these difficulties stem from their love for someone. The repetition of "problems" in the chorus reinforces the magnitude and impact of these issues. It also suggests that the resolution of these problems is dependent on achieving certainty and assurance in their relationship.
