U
Simon Baker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I don't find ways to honor your touch
You say I'm too stuck in my head
Wonder why I'm waking up each morning in your bed
You say you don't love me
But you don't leave me
You say you don't love me
There must be some kind of way you need me
'Cause you say you don't love me
But you don't leave me
Go on and on about your money
Telling me how hard you work for it
Treat me like I think it's funny
Sometimes, you make it hard to give a ...
You say you don't love me
But you don't leave me
You say you don't love me
But you don't leave me
There must be some kind of way you need me
'Cause you say you don't love me
But you don't leave me
The lyrics to Simon Baker's song "U" depict a complicated relationship where one person feels unappreciated and unsure about the other person's love. The first verse portrays this feeling of inadequacy, with the singer being told they don't make enough effort and are too caught up in their own thoughts. Despite this, they find themselves waking up in the other person's bed every morning, highlighting their desire to make the relationship work.
The chorus further delves into the conflicting nature of the relationship. The other person claims not to love the singer, yet they refuse to leave. This creates confusion and frustration for the singer, who wonders why the other person insists on staying even when they claim not to have feelings for them. The repetition of this line emphasizes the contradiction and the emotional turmoil it causes.
In the second verse, the lyrics shift to address the issue of money and how it affects the relationship. The other person talks about their hard work and the value they place on their material possessions, making the singer feel insignificant. This person's attitude and behavior make it difficult for the singer to fully invest in the relationship and give their all.
Overall, "U" explores the complexities of a relationship where love is uncertain, yet the connection is undeniable. The singer grapples with their partner's mixed signals and struggles with feelings of insecurity and frustration. The song highlights the struggle of staying in a relationship that lacks emotional reciprocity and genuine love, while also acknowledging the deep need for connection that keeps them from walking away.
