Ti Amo
Laura Branigan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ti amo
God how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone

Ti amo
Wasn't I good to you?
I did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

I can't believe, you could just turn and leave
Did it so easily
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way (ti amo)
After the love that we made? (ti amo, ti amo)
God, how I wish you had stayed (ti amo, ti amo)
Can't you see that I just want you back? (ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo, ti amo)

Ti amo
I never had a clue (ti amo)
That I was losin' you (ti amo)
You never once let me know
You were lettin' me go

Oh, I guess it was there in your eyes (ti amo)
Guess it was there in your sighs (ti amo, ti amo)
Guess it was there in your lies (ti amo, ti amo)
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Ti amo
Thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way (ti amo)
After the love that we made? (ti amo, ti amo)
God, how I wish you had stayed (ti amo, ti amo)
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo
God, how I love you so
My heart just won't let go
Day after day I'm still holdin' on
Even though you're gone

Guess it was there in your eyes (ti amo)
Guess it was there in your sighs (ti amo, ti amo)
Guess it was there in your lies (ti amo, ti amo)
I was blind then, couldn't face the end

Ti amo
Thought we'd go on and on
Thought we had something strong
You pulled my world out from under me
Look what you've done to me

How could you end it this way (ti amo)
After the love that we made? (ti amo, ti amo)
God, how I wish you had stayed (ti amo, ti amo)
Can't you see that I just want you back?

Ti amo
Wasn't I good to you?
Did all that I could do
To make you want to be here with me
I thought you loved me

I can't believe, (ti amo) you could just turn and leave
Did it so easily (ti amo)
You pulled my world out from under me (ti amo, ti amo)
Look what you've done to me (ti amo)

Ti amo (ti amo)
God, how I love you so (ti amo)
My heart just won't let go (ti amo)




Day after day I'm still holdin' on (ti amo)
Even though you're gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Laura Branigan's Ti Amo express the pain and confusion of a breakup. She sings about her love for someone who has left her, wondering how they could end it so easily after all they shared. She questions their feelings for her, as she did everything she could to show love and make them want to be with her. Yet despite the hurt, she cannot seem to let go of her love for this person.


The chorus of the song repeats the title phrase "Ti Amo", which means "I love you" in Italian. This phrase is used throughout the song as a reminder of the love that was once shared, bringing a sense of longing and nostalgia to the lyrics.

In the end, she is left holding on to love that has gone, wishing that her former partner would come back to her.


Overall, the lyrics to Ti Amo are a powerful expression of heartbreak and the pain of lost love. They remind listeners of the intense emotional connection that can be formed between two people, and the sense of loss that comes when that connection is broken.

You are doing an amazing thing keeping Laura's music and memory alive. When I was a teenager I was a die hard rock fan. Occasionally I would listen to other types of music, and had a couple of Laura's albums, one of which contained this gem. I haven't heard it since at least the early '90s and it moved me now like it moved me when I was a teenager. Thank you!

It’s April of 2023 and this song still resonates and her vibrato was like no other. Missing you Laura. ❤

@petegrigor7298

Her voice was powerful. Not only lyrically but melodically. She still gives me shivers of sheer emotion when she sings.
