Love Me
P.H.I.L. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't mean to treat you wrong
Or maybe I did I'm not so sure anymore
Somehow I knew that it wouldn't be long
Before you'd break up and close the door
And be no more

Still it echoes in my head
Things you did and the things you said

You don't love me anymore
I see it in your eyes
Don't believe in your lies
Just cold as ice

Morning sun peers through the shades
Past emotions slowly fade
Results light upon your skin
Guilt and passion and forgiven sin
And all the things that pain

I'm sorry it had to end this way
But nothing matters anyway

You don't love me anymore
I see it in your eyes




Don't believe in your lies
Just cold as ice

Line by Line Meaning

I didn't mean to treat you wrong
I never had any intentions of hurting you


Or maybe I did I'm not so sure anymore
I'm unsure if my actions were intentional or not


Somehow I knew that it wouldn't be long
I had a feeling that this relationship was not meant to last


Before you'd break up and close the door
I expected that you would end things and walk away


And be no more
And our relationship would cease to exist


Still it echoes in my head
I can't shake the memories of our time together


Things you did and the things you said
I keep replaying the moments we shared, both good and bad


You don't love me anymore
I can clearly see that your feelings for me have changed


I see it in your eyes
The way you look at me says it all


Don't believe in your lies
I can see through the things you say to try to spare my feelings


Just cold as ice
Your demeanor towards me is now very distant and unfeeling


Morning sun peers through the shades
The start of a new day dawns upon us


Past emotions slowly fade
The emotions I had for you are gradually lessening


Results light upon your skin
The physical effects of our relationship are still evident on your body


Guilt and passion and forgiven sin
I feel both remorse and longing for what we had and what we lost


And all the things that pain
The memories of our relationship, both good and bad, still cause me emotional discomfort


I'm sorry it had to end this way
I regret that our relationship had to come to this


But nothing matters anyway
At this point, there's nothing that can be done to salvage what's been lost

Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

Voy a manifestaciones de derechos civiles
Y yo dejo el viejo dar.
Yo amo a harry y sidney y sammy
Espero que cada niño de color se convierta en una estrella.
Pero no hables de revolución
Eso va un poco demasiado lejos
Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

Me alegré cuando fue elegido Humphrey
Mi fe en el sistema restaurado.
Me alegro de los comunistas fueron arrojados a cabo
Del tablero de aflcio
Me encanta Puerto Rico y negros
Mientras no se muevan al lado
Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

La gente del viejo Mississippi
Todos deberían colgar sus cabezas de vergüenza.
No puedo entender cómo funcionan sus mentes.
¿Qué te pasa? ¿No miran les crain?
Pero si me pides que transporte a mis hijos.
Espero que la policía anote tu nombre.
Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

Leo nueva republica y nación
He aprendido a tomar todas las opiniones.
Ya sabes, he memorizado lerner y golden
Siento que soy casi un judío
Pero cuando se trata de tiempos como Corea
No hay nadie más rojo, blanco y azul.
Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

Yo voto por el partido democtratico
Quieren que la ONU sea fuerte.
Voy a todos los conciertos de pete seeger.
Seguro que me hace cantar esas canciones.
Te enviaré todo el dinero que pidas
Pero no me pidas que vaya adelante
Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

Una vez fui joven e impulsivo
Me puse todos los pin concebibles
Incluso fueron a las reuniones socialistas.
Aprendí todos los viejos himnos sindicales.
Pero he crecido y más sabio
Y por eso te entrego .
Así que amame, amame, amame, soy un liberal

[Intro]
In every American community, you have varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects. Ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally. So here, then, is a lesson in safe logic. 

[Verse 1]
I cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
And I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal
Get it?

[Verse 2]
I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R. 
(D.A.R., that's the Dykes of the American Revolution)
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 3]
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad that the Commies were thrown out
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
And I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
As long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 4]
Ah, the people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
Now, I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crane?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 5]
Yes, I read New Republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 6]
I vote for the Democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
And I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

[Verse 7]
Sure, once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

@silverthered

The conservatives in the comments are so ironic. Phill Ochs was a revolutionary communist, lmao.

@toddran1969

I don't think so. The democratic party I signed up with and liberals I sided with 30 years ago are a far cry from the libs/lefties of today. That's why even liberals like Bill Maher are disgusted with liberals/progressive Democrats of today.

@georgea.567

The criticisms are true from both sides though.

@B055H0GG707

I hate conservatives, liberals are fucking retarded. I want a strong 3rd party. Phil was making fun of retarded shitlibs. I'm a revolutionary 3rd positionist, yet here we are. Funny that.

All the funny conservatives here are thinking Ochs is making fun of liberals. he is. But what those dummies don't realize, Ochs doesn't even consider so-called conservatives as a group worthy of any consideration at all.

@sha22276

Exactly 😂

@PickleJello

It's obvious some in the crowd are nervously cheering and laughing wondering if this song is about them.

@michelewalburn4376
