You Don't Love Me
The Spiders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I'm sitting here honey
waitng for the seeds to rest
Oh, my beautiful lady says
I'm going to do my best

Because, I know tomorrow
is going to be a better day
Because I bet tomorrow
is going to be a brand new day

Cause I've been waiting so long
come home help me be home
Don't you know what to say
Do you love me?

Oh a powerful breeze and a helpless thought, I wonder
When thunder strikes and an echo of mine to leave me
With a silent thought comes a women to deceive me

I've waited so long
With a feeling deep inside
Time, Time ago my mind

You're all excited but no one can hide it away.
Said my beautiful lady don't you want to come and stay
Because I'll bet you tomorrow is going to be a brand new day.





I've been waiting so long ...................
That's what I said, that's the beat I play.

I've always liked Alice Cooper but I never heard this early stuff before. According to wikipedia, the guys in the band had only been playing their instruments for about a year when they recorded this. It still sounds great.

GuignolFest Media

They were giant Beatles fans. They also loved The Who , The Kinks, The Yardbirds, etc. Love it.
