HE SAID SHE SAID
The Shapiros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's going with another now
He'll be at the party on Friday night
I'd go there myself, but it wouldn't be right
But if you see him there
Please tell him that I care and that I want him back again
Tell him that and then
Just take him to a side
Tell him how much I cried and I'm begging on my knees
Tell him that and please tell me what he said
If I hurt him I'm sorry
Please tell him that I love him
No matter what the trouble may be
We can talk it over
I've never been so blue
I'll wait right here for you
But then I know I' d like to try
If I should ever die
Tell me what he said
I've lost him but I don't know how
He's going with another now
But if you see him there
Please tell him that I care and that I want him back again
Tell him that and then
Tell me what he said
Just take him to a side
Tell him how much I cried and that I'm beggin' on my knees
Tell him that and please tell me what he said
If I hurt him I'm sorry
Please tell him that I love him
No matter what the trouble may be
We can talk it over
I've never been so blue
I'll wait right here for you
Then I know it might surprise
If I should ever die
Tell me what he said
Tell me what he said
Tell me what he said
The Shapiros' song He Said She Said is a poignant tale of heartbreak and longing. The singer has lost her love to another woman and is trying desperately to win him back. She asks anyone who sees him at the party on Friday night to tell him that she cares about him and wants him back. She is willing to apologize for any mistakes she may have made and is pleading for another chance to make things right. The repetition of "Tell me what he said" at the end of each chorus conveys the singer's desperation to know how he feels about her and whether there is still hope for a reconciliation.
The song captures the raw emotions that come with a breakup, the feelings of loss and regret, and the uncertainty of whether the relationship can be salvaged. The lines "I've never been so blue, I'll wait right here for you" demonstrate the singer's willingness to wait for her love, no matter how long it takes. The song's power lies in its simplicity and honesty, as it speaks to anyone who has experienced heartache and the desire for a second chance at love.
