Status Quo
Status Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love, your love

If the nighttime is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love, sweet love
Come on, sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take you
I've really got to make you
Come on, sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock 'n' roll

When I'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love, sweet love?

Do you still care when I'm not there?
Do you really wish I was there?
Can I come there for love, sweet love?

Come on, sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take you
I've really got to make you
Come on, sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock 'n' roll

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love, your love

Come on, sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I wanna take you
I've really got to make you




Come on, sweet Caroline
Take my hand, together we can rock 'n' roll

Overall Meaning

"Status Quo" by Status is a classic rock song that talks about the singer's desire for love and companionship. The song starts off by saying "if you want to turn me onto anything you really want to turn me onto your love." This implies that the singer is open to whatever the other person is interested in, as long as their love and affection is the ultimate goal.


The chorus of the song is where the singer addresses "sweet Caroline", telling her that they want to take her and make her theirs. They urge her to come with them and rock and roll together. The bridge of the song talks about the singer's loneliness and how they think about Caroline even when she's not there. They wonder if she thinks the same way and if they can come to her for love.


Overall, the song is about the universal desire for love and companionship, and the feelings of vulnerability and longing that come with it. The catchy chorus and '60s rock vibe make it a classic.

Papito wchodził z tą piosenką do gali High League 2. Brawo Jarek ❤❤❤ zajebista walka. JAREK PASZA RUNDA NASZA 💪💪💪

Dzięki za ponad 200 polubień! Nigdy komentarzy nie wstawiałem, ale w związku z wygraną Jarka wstawiłem, bo byłem całym sercem za nim, ciary na całym ciele, emocje od początku do końca również mi towarzyszyły podczas walki, nie wiedziałem, że odbije się to takim zasięgiem i polubieniami! Pozdrawiam was z Nowego Dworu Mazowieckiego (koło Warszawy). ❤️❤️❤️
