Don't You Love Anymore
Joe Cocker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I'd see you smile
When I walked in the door
Thought those arms of yours would be open wide
The way they were before
Why do you look at me
Like I'm some stranger now?
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so tight?

Don't you love me anymore?
Have you learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?
Anymore

When did the fire go out?
Where did the feeling go?
Did it slip away when I wasn't there?
Baby, now I've come home
I thought you'd want me, babe
I was so sure you'd ask me to to stay
I thought you'd need this too
Guess it didn't work out that way

Don't you love me anymore?
Have you learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?
Darling

When did the fire go out?
Where did the feeling go?
Why do you pull away?
When you used to hold me so close, baby?

Don't you love me anymore?
Have you learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Don't you love me anymore?
Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Don't you love me anymore?




Have your learned to live your life without me?
Don't you love me anymore?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joe Cocker's song "Don't You Love Anymore?" are about a man who returns home expecting to be welcomed back with open arms. However, he finds that his partner is distant and cold towards him. He wonders why she looks at him like a stranger and pulls away when they used to hold each other close. He asks her directly, "Don't you love me anymore?" It is evident that his partner has learned to live without him as he sings, "Have you learned to live your life without me?" He is hurt and confused as to why their love has grown cold and wonders when the fire went out and where the feelings disappeared.


The lyrics describe the pain of a man who is trying to understand why his partner has grown distant. He is struggling to grasp why their love, which once burned brightly, has now dimmed down. He is introspective and is asking himself what went wrong, why his partner no longer loves him, and whether she has moved on from him. The song sheds light on the aftermath of a relationship, the emotions that come with it, and the difficulty of moving on.

I thought I'd see you smile
I expected you to be happy to see me


When I walked in the door
As soon as I arrived home


Thought those arms of yours would be open wide
I assumed you would want to embrace me


The way they were before
Just like you used to do


Why do you look at me
What is the reason you stare at me


Like I'm some stranger now?
As if we have never met


Why do you pull away
Why do you push me away


When you used to hold me so tight?
When you used to hug me so closely


Don't you love me anymore?
Do you no longer have feelings for me?


Have you learned to live your life without me?
Have you adapted to life without me in it?


Anymore
Ever again


When did the fire go out?
When did our passion reduce?


Where did the feeling go?
Where did our emotions disappear to?


Did it slip away when I wasn't there?
Did it vanish when I was not around?


Baby, now I've come home
I have returned, my beloved


I thought you'd want me, babe
I believed you would need me back


I was so sure you'd ask me to stay
I was confident you would request me to remain


I thought you'd need this too
I assumed you'd want the same thing as me


Guess it didn't work out that way
But evidently, it did not work out like that


Don't you love me anymore?
Do you no longer have feelings for me?


Darling
My love

Oh oh
I thought I'd see you smile
When I walked in the door
Thought those arms of yours would be open wide
The way they were before
Why do you look at me
Like I'm some stranger now
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so tight

Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me, anymore
When did the fire go out
Where did the feeling go
Did it slip away when I wasn't there
Baby now I've come home
I thought you'd want me babe
I was so sure you'd ask me to to stay
I thought you'd need this too
Guess it didn't work out that way

Don't you love me anymore
Have you learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me anymore
Darling
When did the fire go out
Where did the feeling go
Why do you pull away
When you used to hold me so close baby
Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me
Don't you love me anymore
Don't you love me anymore
Have your learned to live your life without me

Joe Cocker é, e sempre será o meu cantor internacional predileto. Que voz espetacular tinha Joe Cocker! E não bastava cantar com a alma, havia nele uma expressão corporal enquanto cantava. Sensacional!🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️👏👏👏👏👏 ❤🇧🇷
