Baby We're Really In Love
Hank Williams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love
If you're happy with me like I'm happy with you
Old cupid just gave us a shove
If you're thinkin' of me like I'm thinkin' of you
Then I know what you're thinkin' of
If you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love

I run around in circles
And turn in fire alarms
I'm nutty as a fruitcake
When you're not in my arms
If you're meant for me like I'm meant for you
Baby, we fit like a glove
If you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love

If you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love
If you're countin' on me like I'm countin' on you
Old cupid just gave us a shove
If you're dreamin' of me like I'm dreamin' of you
Then I know what you're dreamin' of
If you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love

My folks think I've gone crazy
And I don't feel too sure
And yet there's nothin' wrong with me
That weddin' bells won't cure
If you go for me like I go for you
Baby, we fit like a glove




If you're lovin' me like I'm lovin' you
Baby, we're really in love

Overall Meaning

In "Baby We're Really in Love," Hank Williams is expressing the idea that if their love is reciprocated in the same way, then they are truly, deeply in love. He uses different similes and metaphors to exemplify the intensity of his feelings towards his lover. For example, he describes himself as "nutty as a fruitcake" when his lover is not around, and he runs around in circles and turns in fire alarms. The chorus reiterates that their love is genuine as long as it is mutual. The last part of the song implies that even though the rest of the world may view their feelings as irrational or frantic, as long as they accept each other, everything else will fall into place, leading to a joyful, peaceful love.

I was raised on his music. My daddy played his 8 Tracks every where we went.

I’ll bet I can recite ever word he sings.

Grew up on hank. I’m Hispanic but grew up on a farm and riding horses. Hank brings back good memories.
