Overall Meaning

The Doors’ song Love Me Two Times is a track about a man leaving his lover behind for an extended period of time. The lyrics “Love me two times, baby, Love me twice today” express his desire for affection and love before his departure. The repetition of the phrase “Love me two times girl” indicates his desperation for physical and emotional connection before he disappears.

The second verse, “Love me one time, could not speak, Love me one time, yeah, my knees got weak” describes how deeply infatuated the man is with his lover. However, despite his adoration, he must “go away” and leave her behind. It’s clear that the man is feeling regret for not being able to stay with her all week, which he expresses in the line “Love me two times girl, last me all through the week”.

Overall, the song is a passionate plea for love and connection, but also expresses the bittersweet nature of temporary relationships. The narrator's intense emotions are heightened by the bluesy guitar riffs and Morrison's soulful voice. Love Me Two Times is regarded as one of the most iconic songs of The Doors, and is still a popular choice on classic rock radio.

My Dad has recently passed away and today I was going through his music and this one hit me hard. My Dad played this song on his guitar 44 years ago when I was 9. Watching his fingers play this riff was just amazing to watch.

I love the doors so much because of how different they sound from everyone else like the dead, jefferson airplane, all that soft folk/country/blues/psychedelic hippie rock. This stuff is incredibly hard rock even though it puts more focus on ray's keyboard and doesn't have the striaghtforward rolling stones hard rock sound

GamingInTheMire

2y↑2

I always loved how different each of their songs sounded. Sure there are similarities between them, but still vastly different.

Billy Arce

If you like a rock that sounds different I highly recommend you to hear some song of the Argentinian band "Patricio rey y sus redondos de ricota", sometimes it's hard to listen because they are different but when you like it it's not back

Spanky Malone

@Billy Arce I don't doubt their popularity in Argentina and Uruguay. But we're talking about "The Doors" here dude. They were and still are one of the most iconic and influential rock bands in history. Maybe this band you're referring to should try out for America's got Talent.
