Tell Him He's Yours
Michael Bublé & Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not the one you keep thinking of
Open your eyes
Take a look, let him in
Don't let your life go by dreamin'
'Bout some other guy when you are dancin'
With him cheek to cheek
Champagne and limos you bet!
Laughing and having some fun
Though he's not even the one
Love the one that's right for love
Not the one you keep thinking of
Open your heart
Take a chance, let him in
Don't try to say that he's not
'Cause of all the things that he's got
For he's just a guy that wants you and he'll be true
And although he just tries to explain
That all of this fun's not a game
He'll turn around and walk out that door
Just tell him he's yours!
The song "Tell Him He's Yours" by Michael Bublè explores the theme of choosing the right person to love. The opening lines "Love the one that's right, not the one you keep thinking of" advises the listener to choose the right partner instead of obsessing over someone who may not be a good fit. The lyrics urge the listener to open their eyes and give the right person a chance. The lines "take a look, let him in, don't let your life go by dreamin' 'bout some other guy when you are dancin' with him cheek to cheek" highlight the importance of staying present in the current relationship rather than longing for someone else.
The second half of the song shifts to a different scene, with the singer described as "flying around in a jet" and living a glamorous lifestyle. The lines "Though he's not even the one, love the one that's right for love" suggest that despite the allure of the luxurious lifestyle, the listener should still choose the right partner for love. The lyrics emphasize that material possessions and a flashy lifestyle can't compare to the comfort and security of being with the right person. The final lines "just tell him he's yours" encourage the listener to let go of any doubts or fears and fully commit to the relationship with the right person.
Overall, "Tell Him He's Yours" highlights the importance of choosing the right person to love rather than being infatuated with someone who may not be a good match. The song speaks to the idea that true happiness and fulfillment comes from being with the right person, regardless of any external factors.
