25 Lovers
Jennifer Rush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touch down with your broken wing
Give me your love and we'll begin
To leave the past
Time moves on much too fast
So give me your kick, don't be so shy
And use every trick don't tell me why
You still need the sky to fly on high
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling in love again
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling in love

Check the hearts of your 25 lovers and you'll
Find the answer why it's you who's losing
Check my heart 'cause you're still on the outside
It's your last chance to get in on the inside now

Words are a waste of time
When what we feel can't be denied
Say goodbye and it would be a lie
So look at me don't walk away

I can see in your eyes that you want to stay
You should know that only winners score

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling in love again
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling in love

Check the hearts of your 25 lovers and you'll
Find the answer why it's you who's losing
Check my heart 'cause you're still on the outside
It's your last chance to get in on the inside now

Check the hearts of your 25 lovers and you'll
Find the answer why it's you who's losing
Check my heart 'cause you're still on the outside
It's your last chance to get in on the inside

Check the hearts of your 25 lovers and you'll
Find the answer why it's you who's losing




Check my heart 'cause you're still on the outside
It's your last chance to get in on the inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jennifer Rush's song "25 Lovers" narrate a story of a woman who enters a new relationship and faces challenges along the way. The first lines convey a sense of empathy and understanding as the singer asks her lover to disclose their vulnerability as a broken-winged bird. Then, she urges them to forget their past and rely on her love to move forward. Rush implies that time is fleeting and that they should make the best of their present moment. She then asks for honesty and openness from her partner, encouraging them to use every trick they have to make their love work. The singer also recognizes that her partner may need their freedom and space, but she hopes that they will ultimately choose to be with her.


The chorus conveys the singer's realization of her love for her partner, expressing her feelings about falling in love with them all over again. However, the song's main theme is the idea that the partner has had 25 lovers before and that the singer has to differentiate herself from them to become unique and win their heart. The bridge further emphasizes this point, making it clear that words are unnecessary and that feelings are more important. Finally, the song's last lines repeat the three previous ones, with the singer stressing that her partner's last chance to trust her is now.

Beautiful voice and very talented beautiful singer!

Thomas Farmer

Possibly my most favourite song of hers! It is so quintessentially 80ies and yet still such a timeless killer of a song.

Jamie

She looks fabulous here! 💛

John O'neill

She always did

Gospel of Rex

Jenny is so awesome that you can put her on a dismal, dumpy set like this one, complete with three rodeo clowns, and she still shines.

Pierre AUGIS

Une voix magnifique, une belle mélodie et un rythme toujours aussi entrainant. Un charisme superbe ! Une grande beauté.

Pawel Wesolowsky

Diese Stimme macht süchtig!

Caustic Light
