But I Do
Poldoore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why
I love you like I do
But I do, Lord I do

I don't know why
I love you like I do
But I do, Lord I do
I don't know why
You treat me like you do
But you do, Lord you do

I know I would sure leave you woman
If I could, I surely would

I try my best
To make you happy
Lord, you don't appreciate nothing I do
Woman you won't do a thing I ask you baby
But I still try to do everything for you

I don't know why
I love you like I do
But I do, Lord I do

I don't know why
You treat me like you do
But you do, Lord you do

I don't know why
I love you like I do
But I do, Lord I do

I don't know why




I love you like I do
But I do, Lord I do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Poldoore's song "But I Do" express the confusing and frustrating nature of a love that despite its challenges, remains strong. The singer acknowledges that they do not understand why they love their partner despite the way they are treated. They express the desire to leave the relationship, but something always holds them back. Though the singer tries to please their partner, they feel unappreciated and their requests go ignored. Despite all of this, the singer still loves their partner deeply and is unable to explain why.


The repetition of the phrase "But I do, Lord I do" emphasizes the singer's confusion and the inevitability of their love. The use of the term "Lord" adds a religious element to the song, suggesting that the love the singer feels is beyond their control or understanding. The line "I know I would sure leave you woman/If I could, I surely would" highlights the paradox of the singer's love - they want to leave, but they cannot bring themselves to do so because of the intensity of their feelings.


In summary, Poldoore's "But I Do" is a song about the complexity of love and the frustrating nature of a relationship that cannot be easily understood or resolved.
