The Blue Van Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel my love come onto you boiling
Come on, baby, come on, lover
It's your kindness that makes me suffer
Understand I'm a man
I'm a man, I'm a man
Coming through, acting up like a young Jung Hov-a

Lady love, she's so fine since she's bound to skool you
Might even fool ya, I made ya lose-a
Beating young buck with the blues yeah
Sweet things can make you suffer
One thing though
I ain't no brother, just rough-a, I ought to bounce man
Caught a ride with the Blue Van
That's what up, now I got something to prove
'Cause a man got to do what he got to
Come on, baby, come on, darling
Feel my love come onto you boiling
Come on, baby, come on, lover
It's your kindness that makes me suffer
Understand I'm a man

Come on, baby, come on, darling
Feel my love come onto you boiling
Come on, baby, come on, lover
It's your kindness that makes me suffer
Understand I'm a man

The song "True" by The Blue Van is a classic rock song that speaks about the intense desire and longing for love.

The repeated requests to "come on, baby" and "come on, lover" are an invitation to the object of the singer's affection to succumb to their love.
The song is about desire, but it also speaks to the pain and suffering that comes with loving someone. The singer acknowledges that it is their lover's kindness that makes them suffer. In the midst of their lustful desires, the singer reminds us that they are only human and prone to mistakes. The lines "I ain't no brother, just rough-a, I ought to bounce man, caught a ride with the Blue Van" suggest that the singer is not perfect but is trying to do what he can to win his lover's heart.
The lyrics to "True" are simple yet powerful, and they showcase the raw passion and intensity that can exist between two people in love.
