For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

You Belong To Me
The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
if you want
won't you take me in your arms
if you care, really care for me
why haven't you taken me in your arms.
You belong to me
Don't you know, how rare this is
Don't you know oh baby
Are you saying i made it all up
i'm loosing my self-esteem
am i ever going to see you again
i'm loosing my confidence
You're passing by (passing by)
leaving me behind (leaving me behind)
all my dreams now up the sky
why not me (why not me)
is it her cause (is it her cause)
should have told me long ago
You belong to me
Don't you know, how rare this is
You belong to me
Don't you know what it is
Don't you know that you're tearing my soul
how far do you want to go
but i'll get up and walk on and on
I'm a different woman now
You belong to me
Don't you know, how rare this is
You belong to me
Don't you know oh baby
Am i ever going to find you out there?
I'm loosing my confidence
The Kelly Family's song "You Belong To Me" is a heartfelt lamentation of unrequited love. In the first verse, the singer implores their love interest to take them in their arms if they really care for them. The chorus then emphasizes the singer's possessiveness and desperation, with the repeated phrase "You belong to me" as a plea for reciprocation.
However, the second verse takes a darker turn as the singer questions themselves and their own sanity. They wonder if they made up the connection they thought they had with the other person, and whether they will ever see them again. The bridge of the song reflects the singer's sadness and frustration as they watch the object of their affection move on with someone else, causing them to lose confidence in themselves. Nonetheless, they vow to keep going and remain resilient in the face of rejection.
Overall, the lyrics of "You Belong To Me" encapsulate the emotional turmoil of unrequited love, from hope and longing to self-doubt and heartache.

will you hold me tight
if you care, really care for me
if you truly have feelings for me
why haven't you taken me in your arms.
why haven't you embraced me yet
You belong to me
You are mine
Don't you know, how rare this is
Do you not understand how special and unique this is
Don't you know oh baby
Don't you understand, my love
Are you saying i made it all up
Are you suggesting that my feelings are not real
i'm loosing my self-esteem
I am losing my confidence and sense of self-worth
am i ever going to see you again
Will I ever get the chance to be with you once more
i'm loosing my confidence
I am losing faith in myself
You're passing by (passing by)
You are walking past me
leaving me behind (leaving me behind)
Leaving me alone and ignored
all my dreams now up the sky
All my hopes and desires are far out of reach
why not me (why not me)
Why am I not the one for you
is it her cause (is it her cause)
Is it because of her that you do not choose me
should have told me long ago
You should have been honest with me from the start
Don't you know what it is
Do you not understand the significance of our love
Don't you know that you're tearing my soul
Don't you realize that you are causing me emotional pain
how far do you want to go
How much further are you willing to distance yourself from me
but i'll get up and walk on and on
But I will rise from this and keep moving forward
I'm a different woman now
I have changed and grown from this experience
Am i ever going to find you out there?
Will I ever come across you in the outside world
I'm loosing my confidence
I am losing my self-assurance
