Who Do You Love
Louise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one that says you never ever, walking
I think I know the words off by heart
I used to say them when you were too far away
I hear your lustings
Everybody surely knows
Now you ever dawn
Who do you love
Who do you love
I'm giving you the answer baby
This is what you're doing to me, baby
Who do you love
Who do you love
This is my wake up call
This is your early warning
Before I met you I was so young, and strong
I hope this don't mean to not keep me on
I feel afraid about what's the point in going on
If you don't notice when they play
Our favorite song
I hear your lustings
Everybody surely knows
Now you ever dawn
I can't believe that nothing's happening
Who do you love
Who do you love
I'm giving you the answer baby
This is what you're doing to me
Who do you love
Who do you love
This is my wake up call
This is your early warning
Who do you love
Who do you love
I'm giving you the answer baby
This is what you're doing to me
Who do you love
Who do you love
This is my wake up call
This is your early warning
Oh yeah
Who do you love
Yeah, yeah!
This is what you've doing to me, yeah
Who do you love
Who do you love
This is my wake up call
This is your early warning
Who do you love
Who do you love
I'm giving you the answer baby
This is what you're doing to me
Who do you love
Who do you love
This is my wake up call
This is your early warning
Who do you love
I said Who do
you love? These lyrics are from Louise's song "Who Do You Love". In this song, she expresses her feelings of confusion and insecurity in a relationship. She speaks to her partner who seems distant and uninterested in the relationship. She feels that her partner's lack of attention is having a negative effect on her mental and emotional state, leaving her wondering who her partner's affections truly lie with. The chorus, "who do you love" is directed at her partner, asking them to reveal their true feelings and intentions in the relationship.
She sings about feeling like she's still waiting for something that may never come. The line "Gonna find that ladder again the one that says you never ever, walking" speaks to feeling like she continually goes back to the beginning, with no forward progress being made in the relationship. She is questioning what the point of staying in the relationship is if she is not being seen or heard, as she sings "I feel afraid about what's the point in going on if you don't notice when they play our favorite song".
Overall, "Who Do You Love" is a heartfelt song that expresses the struggle of a relationship where one partner is not reciprocating the same level of affection. It portrays the vulnerability of love and the importance of communication in a relationship.
