Means I Love U
Glen Burtnik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't see the point you're making
You're sitting too close a little too long
Your stare is so strong it's deafening
If I take a second glance, don't confuse it with romance
If I let hang around it doesn't mean I love you
Just because I put you down it doesn't mean I care
Beauty's a fruit spoiled by the world
The kind of a girl men kill for
Polished and poised, proper miss thing
Hangin' around the back door
If it should seem I'm havin' fun
Promise me you'll tell no one
If I let hang around it doesn't mean I love you
Just because I put you down it doesn't mean I care
I'm afraid I'll break if you turn my love away perhaps I'm uptight, you could be okay
I guess you can stay 'til morning
We can talk all night and day
Just don't believe a word I say
If I let hang around it doesn't mean I love you
Just because I put you down it doesn't mean I care
The lyrics to Glen Burtnik's song "Means I Love U" are about a man who is trying to make it clear to a woman that just because he spends time with her and talks to her, it doesn't mean that he loves her or cares about her. He cannot understand her words, but her intense stare is enough to make him uncomfortable. He is aware that his actions may be misconstrued as romantic interest, but he is not interested in her that way. The woman is described as a beautiful yet spoilt and calculating type and the man is aware of her true intentions, that she is only hanging around him to gain something from him. He is afraid of her love spurn but reluctantly allows her to stay for the night as long as she doesn't believe anything he says.
The lyrics, though harsh, reflect a situation that many may identify with, where someone may be leading another person on without any intention of a serious relationship. The song exposes the reality that just because someone spends time with another, it doesn't mean that love is present, and the person on the receiving end must recognize this.
