My Old Love
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears

You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird,
Gonna fly right out of here without a single word
But you know you'll break my heart when I watch you close that door
Cause I know I won't see you anymore

Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears

Haven't I been good to you, what about that brand new ring?
Doesn't that mean love to you, doesn't that mean anything?
If I threw away my pride and I got down on my knees,
Would you make me beg you "pretty please"?

Don't pull your love out on me, baby
If you do, then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me, honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me here drowning in my tears

There's so much I want to do




I've got love enough for two
And I'll never use it, girl, if I don't have you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joe Hamilton's "Don't Pull Your Love Out On Me, Baby" describe a plea from a man to his lover, begging her not to leave him. He expresses his fear that if she does, he will be devastated to the point of crying for a hundred years. He tries to persuade her to stay, promising to give her his heart, soul, and money, and to do anything to make her happy. He questions why she would leave when he has been good to her and even gave her a brand new ring. He concludes the song by emphasizing his love for her and his inability to move on without her.


The song can be interpreted as a classic example of a man trying to save his relationship with a woman who is about to leave him. He is willing to do anything to keep her, and believes that her leaving would not only break his heart, but also leave him in despair for a very long time. The song's use of the phrase "don't pull your love out on me" suggests that the man sees his lover as the only source of love in his life, and without her, he would be completely empty.

If you want to find love, stay away from adultery. Adultery (masturbation or any intimacy/sex outside of marriage) is a sin
This was the first sin humans committed. Eve ate the forbidden fruit by herself then she convinced Adam to eat from it.
This is the first step of letting satan take over you and ruin your life. This was the first sin humans did and it lead to this now

could you imagine what it's doing to your body and life?

masturbation and sex outside of marriage cause anxiety and depression because you’re humiliating your brain and brain.


you have to keep resisting, it's going to be very hard in the beginning, but I promise with time you will be disgusted once you think about it

Don’t buy into how they normalize it in tv and internet, nothing about this is normal, we’re not animals. Sex before marriage was looked at as a sin until the end of 60s.. for thousands of years all our ancestors knew it was a sin and a terrible thing to do before marriage.


“Resist the devil and he will flee from you!”
Jamess 4:7


“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.”
1 Corinthianss 6:18


“He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.”
_ Proverbss 6:32

This is not music, this is art; these are not lyrics, this is literature. One of the best jams of our time, underrated if you ask me. Joe killed it, right? Love the way he is so lit, so fired up. This jam will never grow old, never grow tired. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, 28th October 2023.
