You Dazzle Me
Norman and Joey Jay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever I will understand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand

You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me

Overall Meaning

The song "You Dazzle Me" by Norman and Joey Jay is a heartfelt ballad about lost love and longing. The opening lines capture the heartache of a relationship that has fallen apart, with the singer lamenting that when they said they needed their love, the other person promised to always stay. However, it was not the singer who changed, but their partner, who has now left them alone. The pain of this abandonment comes through in the line "Don't you see that now you've gone, And I'm left here on my own, That I have to follow you and beg you to come home."

The chorus of the song emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings, as they beg their former lover to simply be close and present, without necessarily committing to staying forever or loving them back. They acknowledge that their love for the other person is powerful and all-consuming, but also recognize that they cannot force them to feel the same way in return. The lines "Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you, But believe me I'll never tie you down" convey the singer's desire to be with their partner while respecting their freedom.

Overall, "You Dazzle Me" is a poignant and honest tribute to the complexities of romantic relationships. The lyrics capture the heartbreak and longing that comes with losing someone you love and the difficulty of reconciling those intense emotions with a desire to maintain independence and respect boundaries.

When I said I needed you
I expressed my need for you

You said you would always stay
You committed to staying with me

It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
I did not change, but you did and left me

Don't you see that now you've gone
Do you not realize you left me alone?

And I'm left here on my own
I am here by myself

That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
I must plead for your return

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to declare your love, just be nearby

You don't have to stay forever I will understand
You do not have to stay with me forever, I will accept it

Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
Trust me, I cannot resist loving you

But believe me I'll never tie you down
However, I will never restrict you

Left alone with just a memory
Alone now, with only a memory of you

Life seems dead and quite unreal
Life appears lifeless and surreal

All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
Loneliness is all that remains, with nothing else to feel

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't need to express love, just be nearby

You don't have to stay forever
You do not need to remain permanently

I will understand believe me, believe me
I will comprehend, trust me

You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You do not need to express love, just be nearby

You don't have to stay forever
You do not need to remain permanently

I will understand, believe me, believe me
I will understand, trust me
