You Never Asked
The D.O.T. Lyrics

Long ago and far away
Referring to a past time and distant place

In my old common labor shoes
Describing the type of shoes the singer used to wear

I turned the world all which-a-way
Indicating the singer's ability to make significant changes to the world

Just because you asked me to
The reason behind the artist's actions was a request from someone else

Likened to no other feel'
A feeling unlike any other

Summer love is simple true
Implying that love can be simple and true during summer

There's no end to what I'd do
The extent of the singer's actions is limitless

Just because you asked me to
Again, the artist's actions are motivated by a request from someone else

Let the world call me a fool
The artist is willing to deal with ridicule from the world

Let it; things are right with me and you
Despite any judgment from the world, things are good between the artist and the person who asked something of them

That's all that matters and I'll do
The only thing that matters is the relationship between the singer and the person who made the request, and the singer will do whatever they ask

Anything you ask me to
Once again, the artist is stating their willingness to comply with the requests of the other person

Knowin' how much I love you
Acknowledging the depth of the singer's love for the other person

After all I've been through
The singer has gone through difficulties and struggles, but their love remains strong

I'd turn and walk away from you
Despite their love, the singer would still leave if asked

Just because you asked me to
The reason behind the potential separation would once again be a request from the other person
