Do You Love Me
Loikaemie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love? (Do you love me now)
That I can dance
Watch me now, oh (work, work)
Ah, work it all baby (work, work)
Well, you're drivin' me crazy (work, work)
I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Do you love me? (I can really move)
Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love? (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance (dance)
I can mash-potatoe (I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Now tell me baby (tell me baby)
Do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
1, 2, 3
Do you love me? (I can really move)
Do you love me? (I'm in the groove)
Ah do you love? (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance
The song "Do You Love Me" by Loikaemie is a cover of The Contours' classic hit from 1962. The lyrics speak to the power of dance and its ability to influence romantic feelings. The repetition of the question "Do you love me?" emphasizes the urgency and sincerity of the singer's request for validation from their partner. The use of dance as a metaphor for love adds an element of lightheartedness to the song, as the singer lists off different dance moves they can perform, including the mashed potato and the twist.
The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they capture the excitement and energy of a romantic relationship. The use of call-and-response vocals, along with the repetition of certain phrases, creates a sense of unity and shared experience between the singer and their audience. The use of the word "baby" throughout the song also adds a level of intimacy and familiarity, suggesting that the singer is addressing someone who they have a close relationship with.
