Bobby Charles

I spent all my money lovin' you
Just like a fool - I sure was a crazy fool
I spent all my time pleasin' you
But now I see - I just spent it all like a fool

You know how I bought you what I wanted
Everything you could need
I bought you diamonds for your fingers, babe
I laid freedom at your feet, you never needed nothin' but you see
We were doin' great till we just ran out of cake (took my plate)

I spent all my money tryin' to please you
Then what'd you do? You just treated me like a fool

I spent all my money lovin' you
Lovin' you like a fool - like a fool
I was a fool for you
I spent all my time tryin' to please you
Like a fool - I spent it all on you
Yeah so I'm a fool baby - crazy fool, baby I'm a fool, baby





I was a fool for you, such a fool for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jerry Jeff Walker's song "Spent All My Money Lovin' You" are very straightforward and express the artist's feelings of regret and frustration after having wasted all of his money and time trying to please a woman who ultimately did not appreciate his efforts. The song starts with the singer confessing that he had spent all of his money on his lover, and that he did so like a crazy fool. He then admits to having spent all his time trying to please her, only to realize that he had been wasting it all on her.


In the second stanza, the singer describes how he would buy his lover everything she wanted and needed, even diamonds for her fingers. He had given her the freedom to do what she wanted, yet she never truly appreciated it. However, despite his efforts, their relationship ended badly, with the woman treating him like a fool. In the end, the singer painfully acknowledges that he had been a fool for her, and that he had wasted all his time and money trying to please her, only to be left with regret.


Overall, the song's lyrics are a quintessential example of a man who gave everything he had to a relationship that was doomed to fail. The lyrics express the feeling of heartbreak, frustration, and regret that come with such experiences, and Jerry Jeff Walker delivers the song with the right amount of emotion and honesty.

Another Love
Tom Odell

Eu quero te levar a um lugar para que você saiba que me importo
Mas está tão frio e eu não sei onde
Eu lhe trouxe narcisos em um belo buquê
Mas eles não florescerão como na primavera passada

E eu quero beijar você, fazer você se sentir bem
Estou simplesmente tão cansado de dividir minhas noites
Eu quero chorar e eu quero amar
Mas todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas

Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

E se alguém machucar você, eu quero brigar
Mas minhas mãos foram quebradas muitas vezes
Por isso eu usarei minha voz, serei rude pra caralho
Palavras, elas sempre ganham, mas eu sei que vou perder

E eu cantaria uma canção que seria apenas nossa
Mas eu cantei todas elas para outro coração
E eu quero chorar, eu quero aprender a amar
Mas todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas

Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Oh, oh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, preciso de um amor agora, meu coração está pensando nisso)

Eu quero cantar uma canção que seria apenas nossa
Mas eu cantei todas elas para outro coração
E eu quero chorar, eu quero me apaixonar
Mas todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas

Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas
Em outro amor, outro amor
Todas as minhas lágrimas foram gastas

Oh, oh, oh

Isn't it lovely -
let me down slowly -
all my friends all toxic -

Be proud of yourself.
You went through every type of pain, family issues, trust issues, heartbreak, insecurities, depression, etc. You went through it all alone, but never gave up

@eleftheriasavvidi5856

That’s true but have u ever thought why you had to get through all of that? Not only you but anyone who had got through or going through something

@evelynye1872

Why do we go through that tho it hurts so much :(

@eleftheriasavvidi5856

@Evelyn Ye I agree with you it’s true even I haven’t been in your shoes , but have you ever thought about it?
