Believe Me
Phil and Lu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
In the song "Believe Me" by Phil and Lu, the lyrics express the overwhelming joy and disbelief of a person who has unexpectedly found love. The singer recounts the moment when they first saw their beloved, feeling a thrilling sensation in their heart, and realizing it was love at first sight. Despite falling in love deeply, they never expected that the person they admire could reciprocate those feelings.
The admiration and astonishment continue as the singer describes the impact of the loved one's eyes and kisses, expressing their newfound understanding of the power of love. The disbelief grows as the singer notes how their partner openly professes their love to others, leading to skepticism from those around them who cannot fathom that such a special connection exists. The singer struggles to believe that they are the recipient of this deep love and affection.
The lyrics convey a sense of unworthiness and self-doubt on the singer's part, as they have always held their partner in high regard, feeling undeserving of their love. Despite their doubts, the singer feels overwhelmed with gratitude and amazement at being chosen by their beloved. The realization that they are the "lucky one" fills them with disbelief and astonishment at the depth of the love they have found.
The song continues to explore the singer's feelings of longing and melancholy when separated from their partner, highlighting the emptiness and sadness they experience when not together. However, in their partner's presence, they find solace, pride, and a sense of fulfillment. The contrast between the singer's moments of doubt and insecurity and their partner's unwavering love and devotion builds a poignant narrative of love's transformative power and the profound impact it has on one's sense of self-worth and happiness.
