Concentrate on You
LTD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love to remember
Oh it helps me through these hours I spend
Away from you
People wonder how I do it
Oh it ain't nothin' to it
These gentle thoughts of you
Makes it worth goin' through
Makes it so easy and oh so pleasin'
To concentrate on you
Concentrate on you
It takes separation
To bring appreciation
And I want to thank you for all the love too
The secret lies within our minds
The love we share and the time that binds
Help me concentrate on you
Concentrate on you
Concentrate on you
Concentrate on you
The secret lies within our minds
The love we share and the time that binds
Help me concentrate on you
Do you remember?
When I used to come by
And pick you up and take you out
We had a love call, yes we did girl
And it went something like this
(Love call)
Ha, ha, that was our love call
And in a distance I heard you say
(Love call)
And I'd say, that's my sweet baby
That's my sweet baby
And you know what, it would always
Make me, make me sit down
And concentrate on you
Concentrate on you
The lyrics to LTD's song Concentrate on You speak about the separation between two lovers and how their memories of each other get them through the tough times apart. The first verse talks about how the singer thinks of his lover when he is away from her and how it helps him get through the time. People often wonder how he can stand being away from his lover for long periods, but his thoughts of her make it worth it. He describes her as a "silhouette of splendor," a beautiful memory frozen in time. The second verse explains how the separation makes them appreciate each other even more. The love they share is what binds them together, and it's what helps him concentrate on her during their time apart.
The chorus repeats the phrase "concentrate on you" over and over again. The singer is reminding himself to focus on his lover during the difficult times, to keep her at the forefront of his mind. The song has a nostalgic tone, with the final verse reminding the listener of the love call that he and his lover used to share. The love call was a way to connect with each other, even when they were far apart. The song ends with the singer stating that he will continue to concentrate on his lover, no matter the distance between them.

And it went something like this
And it sounded like this

And I would say, that's my darling

And you know what? It always
Make me, make me sit down
Would make me take a minute and think
And concentrate on you
