Do You Love Me?
The Macc Lads Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close your legs love, your meat smells.
But it keeps the flies off me chips.
I took the crack to the flicks just the other night,
We were groating on the barrow, everything were alright,
Then the smell like a dog took me mind from sex,
I said "Close your legs!"
She whispered softly in my ear,
But all I want to do is go and drink some beer,
Then she did something I didn't understand,
She didn't want a fill, she tried to hold me hand.
"Do you love me?"
"I fuck you don't I?"
"Do you love me?"
"I fuck you don't I?"
"Do you you love me?"
"Oh, why? Give over."
I were right confused over what she said,
So I supped ten pints down t'old Bear's Head
And just as I was getting a taste for it,
Some crack walked in and it was fuckin' fit.
So I shouted "hey up, love"
Turned on the charm,
Showed her me belly and tattoos on me arm,
I said "don't go to Limmogy's, have chips instead"
Two weeks later this is what she said.

"Do you love me?"
"Do you love me?"
"Do you love me?"
"Do you love me?"
"Do you love me?"
Oh why? Give over...
"Do you, do you, do you, do you love me?"
"Do you, do you, do you, do you love me?"
"Do you, do you, do you, do you love me?"
"Do you, do you, do you, do you love me?"
"Do you love me?"
"I fuck you don't I?"
"Do you love me?"
"I fuck you don't I?"
"Do you love me?"
Oh why? Give over...
"Do you love me?"
"I fuck you don't I?"
"Do you love me?"
"I fuck you don't I?"




"Do you love me?"
Oh why? Close your legs.

Overall Meaning

The Macc Lads’ song “Do You Love Me?” is a crude, sexually explicit and controversial number that tells the story of a protagonist who goes on a date with a woman and ultimately loses interest in her. Throughout the song, the man makes rude comments about the woman’s body odor and suggests that he is only interested in her for sex. His entire focus is on drinking beer and finding a more attractive partner. In the chorus, the woman repeatedly asks the man if he loves her, to which he responds in a dismissive and derogatory manner. The song ends with the man telling the woman to “close [her] legs” while she continues to ask if he loves her.


While the lyrics are clearly meant to be comedic and shocking, they also provide a commentary on toxic masculinity and misogyny. The singer’s actions and words reveal his self-absorption and lack of empathy for the woman. He objectifies her, insults her, and dismisses her feelings. The chorus, where the woman repeatedly asks if he loves her, underscores the desperation and need for validation that women often feel in relationships. Overall, “Do You Love Me?” is a scathing critique of male entitlement and a reminder of the pervasive sexism that still exists in society.
