Jo Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm torn apart without him
I'm gonna trust him with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight reign on his heart
He's one of the few things I feel a part of
I know its true, I'll never leave, I'll never say goodbye
I'll always be a girl of means as long as I'm by his side
[Chorus]
(She's, he's) got body, (she she's) got soul
I'm torn apart without (him her)
I'm gonna trust (him her) with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight reign on (his her) heart
(He's, she's) one of the few things I feel a part of
I learn a lot when he's around, he's got so much to giive
If you can say you live and learn, you're learnin' how to live
[Chorus]
Nobody told me that a woman, she can lead a man from ruin
Well you pulled me back and I'm comin' back for more-ore, for sure
No time to make careful decisions, he she might be an apparition
Now the panics on, and I'm not an honest man, If I don't say
[Chorus]
Alright I know its all been said so many times before-ore (before, before, before)
But I don't care I'm gonna sing it to you just once more-ore
(once more, once more, once more)
(She's, he's) got body, (she she's) got soul
I'm torn apart without (him her)
I'm gonna trust (him her) with my future
I'm gonna keep a tight reign on
his heart because he's one of the few things she feels a part of. The lyrics are about a woman who is deeply in love with her partner and believes he has both a strong physical and emotional presence. She feels incomplete without him and trusts him to be a part of her future. She recognizes that he has much to offer in terms of knowledge and growth and values his contribution to her life. The chorus is a repetition of her admiration for him and how crucial he is to her well-being.
The bridge of the song is where the lyrics take a slightly different turn. Kennedy sings about how she had no idea that a woman could lead a man from ruin, but her partner has done just that for her. She is grateful for his presence and is willing to come back for more, even in moments of panic when she is unsure of what to do. The final verse repeats the chorus, emphasizing how important her partner is to her and how she will always value him.
