You Were Made For Me
Freddie & The Dreamers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
All the trees were made for little things that sing and fly
And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky
Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
All the flowers in the field were made to please the bees
For the fishe as someone made the rivers and the seas
Every hand was made to to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for me
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
Every hand was made to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made
You were made
You were made for me
The song "You Were Made For Me" by Freddie & The Dreamers is a catchy and romantic tune that asserts the idea of soulmates. The song emphasizes that the singer and his lover are destined to be together, as the world around them was created to complement and serve their love. The first verse, "All the trees were made for little things that sing and fly / And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky / Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see / When I hold you in my arms I know that you were made for me" suggests that the entire world was designed to create the right conditions for their love.
The second verse strengthens this idea, stating that every aspect of the natural world was created to contribute to their relationship. "All the flowers in the field were made to please the bees / For the fishe (sic) as someone made the rivers and the seas / Every hand was made to hold another, tenderly / When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for me." Then the chorus repeats the idea that "you were made for me" and "everybody tells me so", possibly referring to a feeling that the singer has had since before they met. The entire song is an affirmation that although there may be obstacles, their relationship is meant to be.

You were more inventive then me when I quit a job y many years ago. I had a nursing supervisor that was nasty as heck. When I quit ,I painted a tapestry of descriptive profanity that hung over the hospital for years after I left. J.L., R.N.
