James Brown & His Famous Flames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the love I need why did we part
Bewildered, has love, has love died dear
Wishing your heart could feel
What's in my heart
Must I have sleepless night
And endless days
Oh love why did you keep my soul
Bewildered
I need your, I need your I need your guiding hand
I'll never, no I'll never understand
How you can love me, how you can love me
How you can love me, how you can love me
How you can love me and leave me bewildered, bewildered
The lyrics to James Brown's "Bewildered" describe the feeling of being lost and confused in love. The singer wonders why he and his love had to part ways, and laments the loss of their relationship. He's left feeling bewildered and unsure of how to move forward without the other person. The repeated phrase "How you can love me and leave me bewildered" highlights the singer's confusion and hurt at being abandoned by his love.
The verses in the song make use of vivid imagery to paint a picture of the singer's emotional state. He describes feeling like he's lost in a dream, and experiencing sleepless nights and endless days. The use of the word "bewildered" throughout the song serves to reinforce this sense of confusion and disorientation. The chorus provides a contrast, with the singer expressing his need for his love's guiding hand and his inability to understand why she would leave him in such a state.
