Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic in your sighs
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
The song "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" by The Shirelles is a beautiful ballad that delves into the insecurities that come with new love. The song conveys the inner thoughts of a woman who is giving her heart to a man but is unsure if he will still love her the next day. The first verse sets the scene for the uncertainty the woman feels. The man she is with is loving and attentive, but she questions whether his affection is merely temporary or will last for a more extended period.
The second verse shows the singer yearning to know for sure if this love is going to last. She is afraid of getting her heart broken when the night ends, and the morning comes. The woman wants to hear from the man that his love will be lasting and secure.
The chorus is the culmination of the woman's insecurity. She asks for reassurance and confirmation that he will still love her tomorrow. While the song is written from a woman's perspective, it speaks to a universal fear of vulnerability in new relationships.
Overall, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" is a beautifully crafted song that conveys the emotions and fears people feel in romantic relationships. It is a timeless masterpiece that continues to find resonance with listeners across different generations.

The lead singer of the Shirelles deserves to have her name remembered. It never gets mentioned. It's Shirley Alston Reeves.
