Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've hurt me,
You've broken my heart, now you leave me.
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
Love of my life don't leave me,
you've taken my life, (and) now desert me
Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back, bring it back,
don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
what it means to me.
You will remember
when this is blown over
And everythings all by the way
When i grow older
i will be there at your side to remind you
How i still love you, i still love you
Hurry back hurry back,
(please bring it back home to me) don't take it away from me,
because you don't know what it means to me
love of my life, love of my life...
uhhhh..yeeeeeehhh

It's just incredible how Freddie can even control a crowd from a screen 30 years after his death. Now that's what I call charisma

Freddie was a very powerful and influential person. He had more power over a crowd than anyone else. He just absorbed their love, sang his heart out, while the crowd absorbed the love back and sang right back at him.
