Jigsaw - Puzzle

Your love is like a maze
I can't get through to you
You keep me in a daze
What's a girl to do with you?
Loving you is like a puzzle
Just when I think that this is it
You shake me up
The pieces just don't fit
It's like a ...
Jigsaw - Puzzle

I lay my heart out on the table
I let you know my every move
But darlin' you are so unstable
Your needle never lifts the groove

Now order may not be your nature
But I think that we could work out fine
If you would only trace the dotted line

Overall Meaning

The song “Jigsaw” by Rufus is about the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics describe love as a maze that one cannot easily navigate, and the challenges that come with trying to understand and connect with a partner who is unpredictable and unstable. The song compares love to a puzzle, with pieces that don't always fit and the frustration that comes with it. The singer is struggling to make sense of their relationship and to find a way to make it work.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been open and honest with their partner, laying everything out on the table, but their efforts have been in vain. The partner seems unable to commit or to respond in a way that would allow the relationship to progress. The song ends with a sense of hope, however, as the singer suggests that if the partner could just follow the dotted line, they could make it work.


Overall, “Jigsaw” is a powerful song that captures the pain and complexity of relationships, and the struggle to find a way to make love work. The metaphor of the puzzle is particularly apt, as it captures the ups and downs of relationships, the moments of clarity and the moments of confusion, the pieces that fit and the pieces that don't.
