Dumb Love
Keke Wyatt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it′s still your favorite
It's like that good love we shared
That seems to try and fall apart
We can fuss and fight all day
But at night I gotta feel you naked
I swear I don′t understand
There ain't no way I will give up
I'm gonna keep giving
Giving my heart
Only to you, babe
Even though, even though we both know
Love don′t make no sense
When you′re in doubt
Love don't make no sense
We gotta make it better
We fight and we cry, and we cry
Then we try and we try and we try
Just wanna stay together
Dumb love, dumb love, dumb love
Dumb love, dumb love, dumb love
Like a broken heart that skips a beat
When you think it′s over
I can feel the love running through my veins
Pumping through the pain
When I tell you leave
That don't mean to go
I wanna feel you closer
I know you understand what I′m saying
Why you gotta be a man?
I'm gonna keep giving
Giving my heart
Only to you, babe
Even though, even though we both know
Love don′t make no sense
When you're in doubt
Love don't make no sense
We gotta make it better
We fight and we cry, and we cry
Then we try and we try and we try
Just wanna stay together
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
Love don′t make no sense
When you′re in doubt
Love don't make no sense
We gotta make it better
We fight and we cry, and we cry
Then we try and we try and we try
Just wanna stay together
Dumb love, dumb love, dumb love
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
Dumb love (dumb love)
KeKe Wyatt's song "Dumb Love" talks about the rollercoaster of emotions that love can bring. The lyrics liken love to a broken record that always skips, implying how sometimes love can repeat itself in negative cycles. Yet, despite the turmoil that love can bring, the singer is determined not to give up on the relationship. The song highlights how love can be both challenging and yet irresistible.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Dumb Love," highlights the paradoxical nature of how love can sometimes be irrational and inexplicable. At times, love can indeed feel like a dumb force that just seems to take over and steer us in all kinds of crazy directions. The song speaks to the ways in which people continue to pursue and desire love even when it feels like it makes no sense.
The singer also touches on the physical aspect of love, describing how even though there might be arguments and disagreements, at the end of the day, she still wants to be physically intimate with her partner. The message of the song ultimately seems to be that despite the challenges that love can bring, people continue to pursue it because the good ultimately outweighs the bad.
