Still Hung Up On You
Exposé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I long to hear your voice so much
I've got no choice and no free will
All I know is that I want you still
(Oh)
Late at night (late at night) lying in bed,
I let my heart (I let my heart) fill my head
[Chorus:]
I'm still hung up on you
I'm going crazy, what am I gonna do?
My mama says find somebody new
But I'm still hung up on you
(Oh)
Oh, I remember the way we kissed
Oh, and, baby, that ain't all I miss
The other boys don't mean a thing
I don't really want the love they bring
(Oh oh)
Late at night (late at night) lying in bed,
I let my heart (I let my heart) fill my head
It tells me
[Chorus]
I'm still hung up on you
I'm going crazy, what am I gonna do?
My mama says find somebody new
But I'm still hung up on you
Still hung up on you, yeah ooh
Still hung up
Still hung up on you
(Oh oh oh)
Late at night (late at night) lying in bed,
I let my heart (I let my heart) fill my head
It tells me
[Chorus]
I'm still hung up on you
I'm going crazy, what am I gonna do?
My mama says find somebody new
But I'm still hung up on you
I'm still hung up on you
I'm going crazy, what am I gonna do?
I stay awake the whole night through
'Cause I'm still hung up,
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you
I'm going crazy, what am I gonna do?
I'm still hung up on you
My mama says find somebody new
I'm still hung up on you
I'm going crazy, what am I gonna do?
The lyrics to Exposé's "Still Hung Up On You" are a declaration of the lasting power of love, even when it seems like it should have faded away. The singer acknowledges that she shouldn't call her ex, but her heart has other plans. The memories of their time together, particularly the way they kissed, weigh heavily on her mind, and her heart can't let go of the love they shared. Even when her mother suggests finding someone new, the singer can't help feeling like there is no one else who can compare to her former love.
The repetition of the phrase "late at night, lying in bed" underscores the way in which these feelings of longing and loss can be most acute during quiet moments of solitude. The heart filling the head suggests a kind of irrationality to the singer's feelings, but also a sense that they are so all-consuming that there is no room for logic or rational thinking. The song captures the way in which love can be almost like an addiction, something that we can't help but crave even when we know it's not good for us.
Overall, "Still Hung Up On You" is a powerful track that captures the complexity of love and heartbreak. It's a song that many listeners can likely relate to in one way or another, and its catchy melody and emotive lyrics make it one of Exposé's most enduring hits.
