You Send Me
Sam Butera and The Witnesses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
Don't you know, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with somebody new
But does that mean that I'm been untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And others arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear from me
And baby you never will
The song "You Send Me" by Sam Butera & The Witnesses talks about the trust issues in a relationship where the man is being accused of being unfaithful. The lyrics advise the woman to avoid paying attention to what others say until she hears from her man. The man assures her that the rumors going around are baseless and that he has not betrayed her. He admits to being seen with someone new but denies being unfaithful. He expresses his love for her, telling her that even though he may have shared some moments with someone else, his heart is true to her.
The lines "Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head" is a poetic way of saying that he does not understand why people try to ruin others' relationships. It could also suggest that he is struggling to make sense of the accusations being made against him. The song's title "You Send Me" implies that the woman has control over his emotions and that her trust is crucial for their relationship.
