Are You Growing Tired of My Love
Status Quo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never seem, seem to have the time to listen to what I say
How can I know just what goes on in your mind if you always walk away
So what's the good, what's the good of trying
And hanging around you begging for your love
When it seems there's someone else in your dreams
And I can't be sure of you anymore

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

And when we meet, things are not the same now, you always hurry away
And all the friends that once you used to share with me are ignored now, and you're bored now
I guess we are through, but still I go on hoping
Because you never put it into words
Can't you see you should be honest with me
And I've got to find what is in your mind

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?




Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Status Quo's "Are You Growing Tired of My Love" express the frustration and uncertainty of a partner who feels ignored and unloved in a relationship. The singer laments that their partner never seems to have the time or inclination to listen to them, and that they can't be sure of their affection anymore. They wonder if their partner has grown tired of their love, or if they're simply hiding something that they're unable or unwilling to express. The chorus repeats the questions, driving home the sense of confusion and disconnection.


The verses highlight some of the specific ways in which the relationship has changed: the partner hurries off when they meet, and ignores friends that they used to share. The singer concludes that they may be through, but they can't help holding out hope that their partner will reveal what they're really feeling. The use of rhetorical questions throughout the song underscores the sense of doubt and anxiety, as the singer tries to make sense of what's happening in the relationship.


The lyrics to "Are You Growing Tired of My Love" are straightforward and unambiguous, but they still manage to convey a sense of emotional turmoil and vulnerability. The song speaks to anyone who has felt neglected or unappreciated by their partner, and who has struggled to make sense of what's going wrong in the relationship.

For me, the best song ever to fail to make it in the charts. Magnificent.

@Esteban929

It did chart in the UK in 1969 @ number 50, and later re-entered the charts @ number 46.

@jamesb1647

It just goes to show status quo weren’t just capable of performing 3 chord hard rock songs. Rick parfitt is my absolute favourite rhythm guitarist and his voice is phenomenal, RIP Rick

@bettyemidkiff8431

Rick had a really good voice. What a talent.

@michaelrichardson1898

Rip rich profit

@heli-crewhgs5285

@Michaél Richardson Your mistake is really funny!

@photodom2000

His wasn't the strongest voice in the world and as he got older and 'indulged' more it became even weaker. Much prefer Francis Rossie singing.

@beds139

Bet they hoped this one would stay buried

@mtmpromotion

Great song that never got the recognition it deserved, I wish we could have put this in Straight as Quo's set list when we were out gigging around the UK, Love this song.👍

@Peter-nv3wu

This song really gave Rick the opportunity to show everyone just how good his voice was, and what he could do with it.
