He Doesn't Love You Like I Do
Nick Heyward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And save your skin
You're better off living without him
He doesn't deserve you
Care or respect you
He just treats you like a rag doll
But he won't let go of your life
And he won't let go of your love
What you want
Doesn't care about your future, I bet
He doesn't love you like I do
He doesn't love you like I do
Believe it or not
He's a government plot
On the heels of his finest hour
A self-made man with a plan
Has come to tear you apart
Now he won't let go of your life
Now he won't let go of your heart
Will you never learn that
You've been a victim of a cruel
Assassination of love?
He doesn't love you like I do
He doesn't love you like I do
Every time you're believing
He takes another night to deceive
Every time you're believing
He'll be on his knees
He doesn't love you like I do
He doesn't love you like I do
I bet he doesn't love you like I do

I can see Elvis Costello covering this. I still remembering buying this on cassette single, at Alan Fearnley Records, Middlesbrough, when first released.
