George A. Johnson Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so, and yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm so in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you

Line by Line Meaning
When you just give love
When you show love to someone
And never get love
But that love is never reciprocated
You'd better let love depart
It's best to move on and let the love fade away
I know it's so, and yet I know
I understand that letting go is the right thing to do
I can't get you out of my heart
But I can't help but still love you
You made me leave my happy home
You were the reason I had to abandon my happy life
You took my love and now you're gone
You accepted my love, only to leave me afterward
Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you
Love brings such misery and pain
Love can cause so much suffering
I guess I'll never be the same
I may never be able to fully recover or move on from this love
Well, it's too bad
It's unfortunate
And it's too sad
And it's really sad
But I'm in love with you
But I'm still hopelessly in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
You show me affection but then reject me afterward
But what can I do?
But I'm powerless to change my feelings
I'm so in love with you
I'm just so deeply in love with you
I guess I'll never see the light
I may never see the end of this pain and heartache
I get the blues most every night
And I feel sad and lonely almost every night
Since I fell for you
Ever since I fell in love with you
