I Know a Place
Joe Reisman and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
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?
In the song "I Know a Place" by Joe Reisman and His Orchestra, the singer is expressing their confusion and frustration about their romantic situation. They ask their significant other if they even know or care that the singer cares deeply for them, and wonders how the partner can hurt them despite knowing their feelings. The singer declares that their significant other is an integral part of their life, and begs them not to break their heart but to give their heart a break.
The singer is unsure about the nature of their relationship and where they fit into their partner's "scheme." They question whether they are wasting their time and plead for their partner to be fair, either to love them or let them go. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and desperation, as the singer is hanging on to their last dream and hoping for a clear answer from their partner.
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

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.

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.
