Damn
The Nite-Liters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you can see
I care when you don't
Making it so easy
To want to be with you
You know it's true
I could keep writing stay
Because you make my day
With you is where I'm supposed to be
Imagine me
Doing half the things you deserve to see
Imagine you
Smiling too
(I love you)
You know I am
Holding hands with you
In my head
And
I'm lost without you
I wanna be with you
Maybe hold you in my arms
And if I have to wait on you
That's cool too
The Nite-Liters's song Damn is a love song that expresses the desire to be with someone who means the world to the singer. The lyrics explicitly detail how the singer feels towards their loved one as they plead with them not to stop talking and describe how much they care even when the other party doesn't reciprocate the same level of affection. The singer finds it too easy to want to be with their loved one and knows that they are where they are supposed to be. The singer imagines all the things that can happen between them and how happy they would make their loved one. They confess their love and express the desire to hold hands and be with their loved one, even if they have to wait a long time.
The song carries a smooth, steady tempo with a classic R&B style. It's a blend of heartfelt lyrics with beautiful harmonies, violins, and guitars. The song reflects the romanticism and innocence of love in the '70s through the soulful voices and musical backdrop. Damn was released on RCA Records in 1972 and surged to #6 on the R&B charts and #35 on the Billboard Hot 100. Despite their relative success, the Nite-Liters disbanded in 1973.
