Springfield (Dusty) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, I'm in love, who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you that I'm glad I got to know you?
Cause I've heard some talk, they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine?
Tell me now is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die
Tell me now is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don't let my heart keep breaking
Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die
The lyrics of Springfield's "This Girl's In Love With You" express the feelings of longing and desire for someone you have fallen in love with. The persona is deeply in love and is unsure if the person they love reciprocates their feelings. The song's opening verse says how deep the persona's feelings are, and how much they admire the other person. The persona watches the object of their affections closely and feels a powerful connection with them. The persona would like to express their love, but they are hesitant as they don't know if the other person feels the same.
In the second verse, the persona expresses their fear that the person they love may not feel the same way, and they ask for an answer, so they don't have to live in uncertainty anymore. The persona is worried that they will miss their chance to let the other person know how they feel, as the other person might find someone else. In the chorus, the persona expresses their need and desire for the other person's love, stating that if they are not loved back, they will die. The persona is willing to do anything to make the other person theirs, but all they need is the assurance that their feelings will be reciprocated.

Dusty hits all of Bacharach's nuance perfectly. Artistically, she was one of a kind. She got his vibe.

Beautiful voice, but I don’t think any singer or arrangements got the nuance of the original w Alpert. I like her version btw. She’s the last word on the look of love classic
Dixie Normous
Oh how I resonate with this song so much right now. Dusty is helping me through a very heartbreaking time in my life at the moment. That voice, it heals. Slowly but surely.
Jorge Mario Rodas
This song sounds beautiful in Dusty's outstanding and very feminine voice. Very good to hear.

I love it. the piano texture is bold, almost overbearing but against the rerverb tone and those transient woodwind and guitar notes... It just come up magic. This whole album side is pure delight. One of the finest "romantic" album sides ever done.

I love the lore of her recording sessions. If I could go back in time I would wish to go back to Philips Studios when Dusty was recording. I was lucky enough to travel to London Dec 2019. Our hotel was near her old flat and when we had some free time we made a little pilgrimage there. Made the whole trip for me.

If you read the liner notes, Dusty states she chose the songs simply because she loves them. I don't find them loungy at all. In fact i find the entire suite formed by side B to musical and exquisite.

Thanks. I got the LP. You are right, one side is sort of rock/pop gold of the day (Piece of My Heart, Ain't No Sun, Love Power) and the other side is terrific romantic ballads and standards. I think this was the period when they were thinking about trying to turn Dusty into a Lounge Singer. But luckily, she did "Dusty In Memphis" instead after this LP. Dusty sang it all terrifically. But it was important to her to stay current and in the charts at all times throughout her career. So glad she did the Romantic Standards as well.

Dusty.... Defnitely !
Lori Romano
Thanks for cluing me in. I've got to get the album. What's the name of the album it's on?
