Love Story
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tug my heartstrings one more time, oh no
Remember when you snuck in through his bedroom window
Or socks I found beside the bed that weren't mine or yours?
It's been too long since you've been honest with me baby.
I'll help you down off that high-horse you're on
And if you don't care I'm out of here by dawn
But this whole thing would make a heck of a story
Just suppose I told it right here right now. . .
You were waiting for me after school
We weren't worried about what to do
We walked to the coffee shop to talk
The hours passed by like minutes in New York.
We were in love once as we both well know,
But you have stayed and I have grown
Treat me like I have a clue in my head
'cause all along I knew you was playin' on someone else.
The lyrics of Gabe Dixon Band's song Love Story talk about the loss of love that one feels as they realize that their partner has been cheating on them for a long time. The first verse starts with the singer rejecting their partner's worn-out love, and reminiscing about the times when they found evidence of their partner's infidelity - like socks that didn't belong to either one of them. It's been too long since their partner has been honest with the singer, and they see through the lies.
The second verse talks about how the singer is ready to leave their partner, but they are also amused by the possibility of turning this whole ordeal into a story. They mock their partner for being on a high horse and not caring about their departure. The singer doesn't love their partner anymore, but turning this drama into a story would make a heck of a tale. The bridge describes their past relationship as a time when they were both in love, but now the singer has grown, and their partner has stayed the same. They urge their partner to start treating them as if they have a clue in their head, instead of playing them like a fool.
The lyrics of Love Story bring to light the emotions of heartbreak, betrayal, and (perhaps) a tinge of revenge. The singer is tired of being lied to and is ready to move on from their partner. The song's catchy tune and somewhat upbeat melody make it hard to resist singing along to as you feel the pain of the singer.

I don't need your worn out love anymore
I am no longer interested in your tired, overused love.
Tug my heartstrings one more time, oh no
Do not manipulate my emotions again.
Remember when you snuck in through his bedroom window
I recall the time when you cheated on me with him.
Or socks I found beside the bed that weren't mine or yours?
Did you ever explain whose socks those were that I found beside the bed?
It's been too long since you've been honest with me baby.
You have been lying to me for far too long, my dear.
I'll help you down off that high-horse you're on
I will bring you down from the pedestal you've put yourself on.
And if you don't care I'm out of here by dawn
I am leaving by sunrise, whether or not you care.
It doesn't matter, I don't love you anyway,
My love for you has vanished, so it does not matter what you do or say.
But this whole thing would make a heck of a story
Although I am over you, this relationship would make an interesting tale.
Just suppose I told it right here right now. . .
I am tempted to narrate our story right here, right now.
You were waiting for me after school
I remember when you used to wait for me after school.
We weren't worried about what to do
We did not have any concerns about what we should do.
We walked to the coffee shop to talk
We strolled to the coffee shop to converse.
The hours passed by like minutes in New York.
Time seemed to fly and before we knew it, the hours had become minutes.
We were in love once as we both well know,
We both know that we used to be in love.
But you have stayed and I have grown
You continued behaving the same way while I have evolved.
Treat me like I have a clue in my head
Don't underestimate my intelligence and treat me like a fool.
'cause all along I knew you was playin' on someone else.
I have always known that you were cheating on me.
