Save Your Love For Me
Suckers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get going and you say what'll I do,
if you mess with someone new then its shoo fly shoo,
but if your heart's still in it,
save your love for me.
My head's a tambourine,
and if your voice begins to irritate I'll need to be alone,
but don't you take it the wrong way,
save your love for me.
This world's a colonoscopy,
save your love for me.
I don't want any heart attack,
I just want to relax,
and if you want my head up on a stake just unlock and detach,
but first there's something out in the distance and it is so amazing.
Yeah it's so amazing.
(Save your body, save your mind)
I hate pressure,
I hate responsibility,
I always show up late and it takes me so long to leave,
but if you're willing to accept my flaws,
save your love for me.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the jealousy,
and how angry I get for reasons I only perceive,
there's so much trouble brewing meanwhile,
save your love for me.
This world's a colonoscopy, save your love for me.
I will
be your doctor
and treat you
well.
Well, so well.
The lyrics of Suckers' "Save Your Love For Me" describe the struggles of a relationship, with the singer acknowledging their flaws, weaknesses, and selfishness. Throughout the song, the singer doesn't want their partner to leave them for someone else or because of their flaws. They ask their partner to save their love for them, even though they may not be the easiest person to love. The song reveals the fear of loneliness and losing their partner, despite their difficult traits.
The line "This world's a colonoscopy, save your love for me," is an interesting one. A colonoscopy is a medical procedure used to detect colon cancer. This line could be interpreted in various ways, perhaps suggesting that the state of the world is a tumultuous and painful experience, but if the partner saves their love for the singer, they could avoid any extra pain or complications. The song's references to various body parts like the kidney and head, suggest the singer is in a state of discomfort and stress, particularly when their partner irritates them. The chorus line, "Save your body, save your mind," could mean that the partner should save their energy and strength for the singer and not waste it on anyone else or anything else.
