Wings
Ringo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had the wings of an eagle,
Over these broken dreams I will fly.
If I could be shot like an arrow.
Straight to you, in your arms I will lie.
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?

If I had the strength of a lion,
There'd be no one to keep us apart.
And if I was to crack just like thunder,
I would shout what I feel in my heart.
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so?

Need you so much,
The melody's coming in clear. (so clear)
And with your touch,
The music keeps going around and around in my ears.

All right!
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so?

If I had to live life without you,
I'd be lost like a ship in the night.
Your love never gave me no warning,
Like a bird I was shot down in flight.
Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?

Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so? (need you so)

Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?

Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so? (need you so)

Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I love you so?





Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I need you so? (need you so)

Letra Español

Si yo tuviera las alas de un águila
sobre estos sueños rotos volaría
Si pudiera ser disparado como una flecha
hacia ti, en tus brazos yacería

¿Acaso no sabes que te amo?
¿Acaso no sabes que te amo tanto?

Si yo tuviera la fuerza de un león
no habría nadie que lograra separarnos
Y si yo crujiera como un trueno
gritaría lo que siento en mi corazón

¿Acaso no sabes que te amo?
¿Acaso no sabes que te necesito tanto?

Te necesito mucho
la melodía se aclara
Y con tu tacto
la música sigue dando vueltas y vueltas en mis oídos

¿Acaso no sabes que te amo?
¿Acaso no sabes que te necesito tanto?

Te necesito mucho
la melodía se aclara
Y con tu tacto
la música sigue dando vueltas y vueltas en mis oídos

Si yo tuviera que vivir sin ti
estaría perdido como un barco en la noche
Tu amor nunca me dio ninguna señal
como un pájaro, me disparó mientras volaba

¿Acaso no sabes que te amo?
¿Acaso no sabes que te necesito tanto?

¿Acaso no sabes que te amo?
¿Acaso no sabes que te necesito tanto?

¿Acaso no sabes que te amo?
¿Acaso no sabes que te necesito tanto?

Ringo's solo work is SO underrated.

@cruelangeltesis

Totally!

@daveidmarx8296

Really?? How so?

@direkramseychikboy9102

I dont think so. His songs were always the same. Same beat, same melody, same riffs. Paul and John were more skilled songwriter. They can write songs even when they were blindfolded and hands tied. Ringo needs help from outsiders to create songs.

@hi-ot8kf

Gerald Guzman and ask people to right unmeaningful songs? Pahh no

@mapasinterativos2796

@El Barto Runner Ringo is the most diversity. He was into Rock, pop and Disco

At first I wasn't quite sure if this was a song by Ringo Starr called Wings or a song by Wings called Ringo Starr.

@mystic1355

I thought he were singing with the band wings

@lucybraun8969

He's always full of surprises. Don't you know we love him so?

@NaaHva

William actually invited to him to play at a Wings gig in 76
