I Want You Back
Patsy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad
You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do
Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you
Patsy Cline's song You embodies the story of unrequited love. The opening two lines, "You made me love you, I didn't want to do it," hits upon the struggles one goes through when they fall in love with someone against their will. It is clear from the outset that the singer is not in control of her emotions, and that the recipient of her love played a crucial role in her feeling this way. "And all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it," hints that this ambiguity was perpetuated by the person who the song is about. This creates an interesting dynamic where the singer feels as if her love was orchestrated by someone else.
The chorus of the song reflects the bittersweet nature of unrequited love. The singer experiences moments of joy and happiness, but also admits that the love they hold for the person in question often caused them to feel bad. The line "You made me sigh for, I didn't want to tell you" expresses how the singer is trapped in her own mind, yearning for something that is seemingly unattainable. This is followed by the plea for the love that she desires, the love that she cries for, and the love that this person unknowingly has the power to give. The song's final lines, "You know you made me love you," aptly wrap up the whole meaning of the song, that the singer was not fully aware of her feelings, but also that they were always in control, and they chose not to reciprocate her affections.
Overall, the song showcases the complexities of love and attraction, and how we often have little control over who we fall in love with. It also highlights the pain and heartbreak that can come with unrequited love.

Without Doubt the greatest Female singing voice in the History of Country Music. So sadly missed.
gooangel2
Unlike those who people say are the "greatest female vocalists" now, Patsy Cline has the distinction of NEVER having had to be dubbed! What you hear is really how she sounded. Nobody does that anymore because of pitch correction technology.
J.J. Lee

William Asaba
I thank you very much for this. It is typical of Cline's sweet and wonderful voice. It will ever be hard to fill her shoes.
Shannon Burns
William Asaba , no one will ever do that. She was one of God’s angels like my Shannon Marie Burns was. She has gone to be with Patsy and the legends. God Bless her and all of you who loved her responses. She left a hole where my heart used to be. Dennis Gritton.

How special to re-discover the most authentic Female Vocalist of, well perhaps all genres.
