I Really Love You
Stereos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I really, really love you
Nobody else will do
That's why I love you
That's why, why, why

Yeah I really, really want you
Nobody else will do
That's why I love you
That's why, why, why

Well babe, you know I love you so
I'd praise the world if you could know
But when I see you coming down the street
My heart skips a beat

You, I really, really need you
But then you played me for a fool
Why do you do me like you do, do, do

Well babe, you know I love you so
I'd praise the world if you could know
But when I see you coming down the street
My heart skips a beat

You, I really, really need you
But yet you played me for a fool
Why do you do me like you do




Why do you do me like you do
Why, why

Overall Meaning

"I Really Love You" by Stereos is a classic love song that explores the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. The lyrics pour out the sincere feelings of the singer towards their significant other. The first two verses describe the intense love that the singer feels for their loved one, emphasizing that nobody else will do. The singer's affection for their loved one is so strong that they cannot imagine being with someone else. This love is so real and intense that it even makes the singer question why their loved one does not reciprocate these feelings.


However, the happiness of the love story is short-lived when the singer realizes that their loved one is playing them for a fool. The third verse talks about how the loved one has betrayed the singer's trust and played with their feelings, leaving them heartbroken and confused. Despite this, the singer still needs their loved one, even after being hurt so badly. The song then ends with the repeated question of "why" - why did the loved one do what they did?


Overall, "I Really Love You" is a relatable take on the complexities of love and heartbreak. The song hits home with anyone who has experienced the joy of love and the pain of betrayal.

The Stereos...in stereo. What a heavenly sound by a great doo-wop group from Stubenville, Ohio.

@@davidmolnar8251 Sorry, my mistake. A lot of record collectors think of Dean Martin when they mention Steubenville, Ohio. I knew they were from somewhere, Ohio.😁😁😁😁😁😁
