Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, baby when you sigh
(When you sigh)
I wanna sigh with you
When you cry
(When you cry)
I wanna cry some, too

Now, ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Oh, ain't that love that I feel
(That I feel)
In my heart for you

When your friends
(When your friends)
Turn their back on you
I'll be here
(I'll be here)
Just to see you through

Now, ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Ain't that love, oh now
Ain't that love
That I feel in my heart for you

Now when you walk
(When you walk)
I wanna walk with you
When you talk
(When you talk)
Wanna talk some, too





Now, ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Oh, ain't that love that I feel
(That I feel)
In my heart for you

If you ever
(If you ever)
Ever need a friend
I'll be with you
(Be with you)
Yes, until the end

Now, ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Don't you know, baby don't you know, I
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ain't that love, baby that I feel
In my heart for you

Baby, won't you let me hold your hand
I want to squeeze you as tight as I can
Baby, don't you need my by your side
To protect you and be your guide
Baby, I'm so in love with you
I'd do anything you tell me to

Now, ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
Ain't that love
(Ain't that love)
C'mon now, ain't that love, now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ain't that love, baby that I feel
In my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh, that I feel in my heart for you
Oh!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Peggy Lee's song "Ain't That Love" describe a deep and supportive kind of love that stands by the other person through both positive and negative experiences. The first stanza establishes that the singer wants to share in the other person's emotions by sighing and crying together. The second stanza reinforces this by saying that the singer will be there for the other person if their friends turn their back on them. The chorus repeats the phrase "ain't that love," emphasizing that this kind of love is special and powerful. The third stanza uses walking and talking as examples of everyday activities that the singer wants to do with the other person. The final stanza is a promise to always be there for the other person, to hold their hand and protect them.


The song's lyrics demonstrate a generous, selfless love that is willing to sacrifice time and energy for the other person. The use of repeated phrases like "ain't that love" and "in my heart for you" strengthens the idea that this love is not just a passing feeling but a permanent and central part of the singer's life. The repeated "oh"s and exclamations of "oh!" at the end of the song add to its emotional intensity and reinforce the idea that this kind of love is overwhelming and all-consuming.

Every morning, every evening
Ain't we got fun?
Not much money, oh, but honey
Ain't we got fun?
The rent's unpaid, dear
We haven't a car
But in any way, dear
We'll stay as we are

Even if we owe the grocer
Don't we have fun
Tax collector's getting closer
Still we have fun
There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get poorer
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?

Don't we have fun?
Still we have fun

Even if we owe the grocer
Don't we have fun?
Tax collector's getting closer
Ooh, what fun
There's nothing surer
The rich get rich and the poor get poorer
In the meantime, in between time
Don't we have fun?

“In all the days
In all the nights
Ain’t we got fun
Gotta stay inside
Not dark because you’re so bright
Ain’t we got fun
Light’s soon to be cut off
Laughing’s important in life
Cable could be shut off
I’d still marry you twice
Don’t we have fun
We won’t fear yet
Though everything’s not clear yet
Still we have fun
It’s guaranteed
People want their needs
Until the unrest stops
Put on a smile on at the rest stop
Ain’t we got fun



In all the days
In all the nights
Ain’t we got fun
Slinky’s and stress love
Are meant to compress love
Don’t we have fun
We just begun living
As Mr. and Mrs. Foo
To our neighbors we’re giving
Because that’s good neighbors do
Bill Collectors keep callin
Ain’t we got fun
Gosh this debt we’re all in
Still we have fun
It’s guaranteed
People want their needs
Until the unrest stops
Put on a smile on at the rest stop
Ain’t we got fun”

I love the optimism in these lyrics, but unfortunately it's still a little depressing. I LOVE Peggy Lee's voice and music, and this song!!

You're the one who just found this style last year, aren't you? Nineteen? Anyway, I'm twelve. I love this so so much. It's so fitting for that time period, so big band, so great!

I wish Peggy had done every album with Nelson Riddle.   The tracks she did with him are her best!!!
STUPENDOUS!!!!    (course Peggy could sing the white pages and I'd be happy)

A Krenwinkle

Peggy was asked if she were stranded on a desert island and could have only one arranger, who would it be?  She said Billy May because he could do anything, had experience in so many different types of songs.

Jim Harrison

one of the best,always great to play,bring back all these stars of the past,just beautiful
