Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause he doesn't love me.
He saw the beauty in another
but she isn't worthy.
I gave him kisses,
gave him all I could.
what was I missin'?
I misunderstood
(he doesn't love me x8)
No longer undercover cause you've got another lover underneath the sheets.
Should've listen to my mother when she said to find a lover
who could handle me.
No longer undercovers, No longer undercover underneath the sheets
No longer undercovers, No longer undercover underneath the sheets

The song "Sheets" by Shannon Saunders is a song about heartbreak and betrayal. The lyrics describe a woman who is questioning her worth to her lover. She wonders if she is ugly and unworthy because he doesn't love her anymore. The man has found someone else who he sees as more beautiful and deserving of his love. The woman gave all she could in the relationship, including kisses, but still feels like she has missed something. She now realizes that she should have listened to her mother's advice about finding a lover who can handle her, and not be hidden underneath the sheets with another woman. The song is filled with raw emotions and vulnerability as the woman confronts her heartbreak and tries to find answers.

Am I ugly to my lover cos' he doesn't love me,
You saw the beauty in another but she isn't worthy,
I gave him kisses,
Gave him all I could, what was I missing?
I misunderstood, am I worthy of my lover cos' he doesn't love me,
No longer undercover cos' you got another lover underneath the sheets,
Should have listened to my mother when she said to find another who could handle me,
No longer under-covers,
No longer undercover underneath the sheets,
No longer under-covers,
No longer undercover underneath the sheets.

I like that she sings in her British accent . Heart of blue seems to get better each listen.
@samnunes9086
Shannon saunders you should be huge with a voice like this. Why are your songs not in the charts???? You would make millions.
