You Do Something To Me
Norman And Simon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As much as I think of you
Probably not
And that's not okay with me
Tell me how to say
Exactly what's on my mind
I hope I pray
That one day I'll call you mine
I've been thinking
About you in my dreams
But I know how
Things move on
And that's okay
Are you alright
Do you need space
And she facetime calls
The things I dream
I can't control
My mind does things
I don't tell it too
Do you think of me
As much as I think of you
Probably not
And that's not okay with me
Tell me how to say
Exactly what's on my mind
I hope I pray
That one day I'll call you
Mine
One day you'll be mine
I swear to you
You won't miss the other side
Go around go around go around
We go
Go around go around go around
We go
Do you think of me
As much as I think of you
Probably not
And that's not okay with me
Tell me how to say
I say I say I've been sayin'
And I hope I pray
I pray I pray I've been prayin'
Tell me how to say
I say I say I've been sayin'
And I hope I pray
I pray I pray I've been prayin'
Do you think of me
As much as I think of you
Probably not
And that's not okay with me
Tell me how to say
Exactly what's on my mind
I hope I pray
That one day I'll call you mine
The lyrics to Norman and Simon's song, "You Do Something To Me," portray the internal dialogue and emotions of someone who is in love with another person but unsure if their feelings are reciprocated. The singer wonders if the person they are thinking of thinks of them with the same frequency and intensity, recognizing that it is unlikely. However, this realization does not bring them comfort. They are unsettled by the thought that their love may be unrequited and express a desire to call the person theirs someday.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's thoughts and fears. They reveal that they dream about the person and that their mind can sometimes think about them in ways they do not intend to. The uncertainty and anxiety they feel about this love are further expressed in the lines "are you alright, do you need space." The song's refrain speaks to the central theme of the song, conveying the singer's longing to be with the person they love, their frustration with the uncertainty of their feelings, and their desperation to find the right words to express themselves clearly.
Overall, "You Do Something To Me" is a song that captures the complexity of unrequited love—the longing, the frustration, and the fear of rejection. It speaks to the universal human condition of wanting to connect with someone and be loved in return.
