Sign Your Name
Terence Trend Dàrby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in The symptoms are so deepIt is much too late to turn away
We started out as friends
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
I want you to be my lady
Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When you're gambling cards on love you playI'd rather be in hell with you, baby
Than in cool heavenIt seems to be the way
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But oh the light shines brightIn a peaceful day
Stranger blue, leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain
All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates to ourdictates
Slowly we make love
Heyyyy
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my lady
Sign your name across my heartI want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heartI want you to be my lady
Sign your name across my heartI want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
In "Sign Your Name," Terence Trent D'arby sings about a deep infatuation with someone he considers a close friend. He acknowledges that they started out as friends but states that the thought of this person is consuming him. He describes the symptoms of being in love as being so deep that it's too late to turn back. This person has become an integral part of his life, and he cannot imagine living without them. He would rather be in hell with this person than in heaven without them.
The chorus of the song is a plea for this person to reciprocate his feelings. He wants them to sign their name across his heart and be his baby or lady. The verses talk about the inevitability of disappointment in life and how love, like a game of cards, involves some level of risk. However, the reward of being with this person is worth the gamble, even if it means he would rather be in hell with them.
The final verses describe a peaceful day, with birds not looking into the sun before the day is gone. The world light shines bright, and they prefer to be alone, making love with the Earth rotating to their dictates. It's a sensual scene of two people sharing an intimate moment together.
Overall, Terence Trent D'arby's "Sign Your Name" is a passionate love song that expresses the thrill and intensity of falling in love with someone.

This song brings back so many memories! I was 17 years old in 1987. I was working at a place where we where all young, between 16 and 22, and two or three nights a week after work we went to a bar near our workplace. In Sweden you have to be 18 to drink alcohol at bars, but I guess I looked older than my age 'cause I never had any problems ordering drinks.
We were a group of 15-20 people going to this bar, and every night we played this song on the jukebox, over and over again. We all loved it!
Then came the day when I turned 18, March 16:th, 1988. Of course it was a birthday to celebrate, and of course we went to our favorite bar to celebrate. The owner of the bar noticed we where celebrating, and asked me what the occasion was. I said "It's my 18:th birthday!" and he was at first mad. "What?!" he yelled. "You've been drinking here for months, and you weren't 18?! We could have lost our permit to sell alcohol if anyone would have found out!" (The laws for selling alcohol at restaurants and bars where, and are, strict in Sweden).
I felt a bit ashamed, I hadn't been thinking about that, all I cared about was partying and drinking with my friends. Luckily, the owner soon calmed down. Maybe he realized how much money me and my friends had spent there during the past six months or so... ;-) He actually came and congratulated me, and then he said that me and my friends could get free drinks for the rest of the night!
It was a memorable night - although some things are a bit "foggy" for some reason - that night almost 33 years ago. Terence trent D'Arby, Sign Your Name, good friends, party, turning 18, my whole life ahead of me...
Sorry for "Wall of text"!

I was 7 years old in 1988 when this song came out. I still love it to this day at 42. The world made more since back then. I don’t care too much for our current society.
