I Know a Place
Joe Reisman and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you know I care
Or don't you care to know?
If you know I care,
How can you hurt me so.
Darling, you are part of ev'ry breath I take
Will you break my heart
Or give my heart a break?
I can't figure out what love's all about,
and where I fit into your scheme.
Am I wasting time, please tell me
'Cause I'm down to my last dream.
Won't you please be fair,
Love me or let me go




Don't you know I care
Or don't you care to know?

Line by Line Meaning

Don't you know I care
I am emotionally invested in you


Or don't you care to know?
Are you oblivious to my feelings or deliberately ignoring them?


If you know I care,
Assuming you are aware of my feelings


How can you hurt me so.
Why would you intentionally cause me emotional pain?


Darling, you are part of ev'ry breath I take
You occupy a significant place in my heart and mind


Will you break my heart
Can you continue to cause me emotional pain and heartbreak?


Or give my heart a break?
Or are you willing to have a change of heart to avoid hurting me?


I can't figure out what love's all about,
I am struggling to comprehend the nature of love


and where I fit into your scheme.
And how I fit into your life and plans


Am I wasting time, please tell me
Please clarify if I am investing my time and emotions into a hopeless situation


'Cause I'm down to my last dream.
I have few hopes left and need to know where I stand with you


Won't you please be fair,
I need you to be honest and considerate


Love me or let me go
Either commit to our relationship or end it


Don't you know I care
I hope you understand the depth of my feelings


Or don't you care to know?
Or are you indifferent to my emotions?

Fantástico LP, Me recuerda cuando era niña, mi padre siempre ponia música los domingos mientras haciamos el aperitivo en el jardín!! Lo seguimos conservando pero lo guarda mi hermano mayor. Que tiempos! Gracias por compartirlo

German Espinosa

Me acordaba claramente de la carátula, pero ni idea del nombre de la orquesta. De niño lo disfruté mucho, durante años lo estuve buscando. Mil gracias Gustavo.

Carlos Valiente Bernales

Yo también de niño lo escuchaba x que mi padre lo ponía en su radiola en la sala el sonido stereofonico de los instrumentos era espectacular fueron los años 1962 o 1963 aproximadamente tenia 10 años que lindos recuerdos.
Gracias Gustavo X esos gratos recuerdos.
