Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Send me some lovin'
Send it I pray
How can I love you
When you're far away?

Oh, send me your picture
Send it, my dear
So I can hold it
Pretend you are here

Can you send me your kisses?
I still feel their touch
I need you so badly
I miss you so much

My days are so lonely
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely
I'm waitin' for you

My days are so lonely
My nights are so blue




I'm here and I'm lonely
I'm waitin' for you

Overall Meaning

Jimmie Vaughan's "Send Me Some Lovin'" is a classic blues love song that expresses the pain of being in a long-distance relationship. The singer is clearly in love with someone who is far away and misses them terribly. He pleads with them to send him some love in the form of a picture, some kisses or any way possible so that he can feel closer to them.


In the opening lines, he begs them to send him some love and wonders how he can still love them if they are so far away. He wants to feel the connection and closeness that he used to feel when he was with them. The imagery of their picture being able to transport them to his side is incredibly moving. He wants to be able to hold it close and feel like they are there with him.


The sad and lonely voice of the singer pervades the entire song. The rest of the song reinforces the theme of loneliness and longing. The singer misses their kisses, their touch and how it used to make him feel. The song is full of longing and sadness and will likely strike a chord with anyone who has ever been separated from a loved one. The simplicity of the song is its strength, as it is a reminder that love can be expressed in small and simple ways.
