Who?
The MGM Studio Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's Sorry Now?
Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow?
Who's sad and blue?
Who's crying too?
Just like I cried over you.
Right to the end,
Just like a friend,
You had your way,
Now you must pay;
The MGM Studio Orchestra's song "Who?" is a melancholic tune that speaks of a person's heartbreak and longing to know who else shares the same pain. The repeated question "Who's Sorry Now?" is a rhetorical one, as the person already knows that they are sorry and their ex-lover is probably not. The lyrics say that the heartbroken person tried to warn their ex-lover of the consequences of their actions, but they did not listen and went ahead to break their vow. Now, the roles have reversed, and the ex-lover must face the consequences of their actions.
The lyrics of "Who?" are relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and betrayal in a relationship. It speaks to the emotions of sadness, pain, and longing for someone to share the hurt with. The repetition of "Who's Sorry Now?" emphasizes the confusion and desperation of the person who is trying to come to terms with what has happened to them. The song's melody and orchestration evoke a sense of sadness and melancholy that perfectly captures the mood of the lyrics.
