Angie
The BB Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
With no lovin' in our soul and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie
You can't say we never tried
Angie, you're beautiful
But I hate that sadness in your eyes
Angie, I still love you baby
Remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here? Yeah
All the dreams we held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, I still love you baby
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie
Ain't it good to be alive
Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried
The BB Band's song "Angie" is a heartfelt tune that speaks about the trials and tribulations of love. The lyrics describe a couple who seem to be struggling with financial and emotional difficulties. The opening lines of the song, "Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear?" evoke a sense of melancholy and longing, as the singer wonders when their struggles will finally come to an end.
The chorus then continues to ask the question, "Where will it lead us from here?" which suggests that the couple is uncertain about their future together. The lines, "With no lovin' in our soul, and no money in our coats, you can't say we're satisfied," reflect a sense of dissatisfaction and longing for something more. Despite these hardships, the singer acknowledges that they've tried their best and can't be accused of not giving it their all in the relationship.
