Where Are You
Johnny Kidd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where are you when you've no-one to call on the phone
When her kisses have gone cold
That's the time so I've been told
To ask yourself just where are you without love
Where are you when you are all alone on the shelf
With nobody around to talk to but yourself
She'll come running back and say
It ain't no good for where are you without love
But I've got you and you've got me
Life is wonderful as it should be
And that's just why
I'm so glad to know you're waiting for me each night
Just for me to hug and kiss and hold you tight
If you ever go away
I will be the first to say
It ain't no good for where are you without love
Where are you without love
Oh, where are you without love
Where are you without love
Where are you without love
The lyrics of Where Are You by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates delve into the depths of loneliness and desperation one feels when they don't have someone special in their life. The song talks about being alone and having no one to call or talk to when you need someone to lean on. The lyrics portray a sense of longing for companionship in life and how it's difficult to imagine life without the love that we all hold so dear.
The opening lines "Where are you when there's nobody to call your own, Where are you when you've no-one to call on the phone" speaks to the heartbreak of being left alone, with no one to reach out to. The fact that "her kisses have gone cold" emphasizes that the person has lost their significant other and they are struggling with the aftermath. The song states that this is the time when one should question what life without love is like.
The second verse of the song talks about the feeling of being an outcast, with no one to talk to but oneself - someone who's always waiting for their lover to return. The chorus emphasizes that it's just not worth it to be alone without love, and ends with the lines "Where are you without love? Oh, where are you without love?" which is a poignant reminder of the importance of love in our lives.
