1) INDEX were formed in early 1966 in Grosse Point, Michigan. In '66 drummer Jim Valice (17 years old) met Gary Francis. Jim played in a garage band, and Gary played another band. One day they had a jam session with one more cool guitarist John B. Ford. Their first jam was exciting, the sound was full and powerful with John's technical guitar playing. In early '67 the band played 'Johnny B. Good' and 'Mustang Sally'. At the time Gary didn't have his own bass. Jim and John bought a violin shaped bass for Gary as present. They became a party band, playing at a pool, and in the living room, in the summer. They covered Chuck Berry, Animals, and played their original songs. At the time the band was called Chicken Every Sunday. One afternoon after a session, they decided to change the name.

Give Me A Sign
Index Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been playing childish games
I will never forget the way I gave my heart to you
Still you've got me here
All confused
Tell me what's the use
It's now time I know where I stand with you
I wanna know if you'll be mine
If you love me give me a sign
I wanna know if you'll be mine
I was so understanding, cause I thought you needed some time
To be sure, before you give your love to me
But it ain't like that girl
I was wrong, you've got me waiting so long
It's now time I know where I stand with you
If you love me give me a sign
I wanna know if you'll be mine
If you love me give me a sign
I wanna know if you'll be mine
If you love me give me a sign
I wanna know if you'll be mine

By repeating the phrase "If you love me give me a sign," the singer highlights their longing for certainty in their relationship.
In the second verse, the singer admits their understanding and patience in giving their love interest time to be sure about their feelings before fully committing. However, they come to realize that their patience has been exploited, leading to an extended period of waiting. They acknowledge that they were wrong in assuming that their partner needed time, as it becomes clear that their love interest has been keeping them waiting without any clarity or explanation. The lyrics express the singer's growing impatience and the need for clarity and understanding regarding their position in the relationship.
Overall, "Give Me A Sign" portrays the emotional turmoil and frustration of being kept in the dark about the depth of a partner's love and commitment.
