Love Hangover
The Supremes Lyrics

Ah
The beginning of the song sets the tone for a melancholy, uncertain feeling.

If there's a cure for this
The singer is aware that something is wrong, but she doesn't want to be fixed, showing that she's less concerned with the problem than with what she gets from it.

I don't want it
The fact that the singer says this twice shows that she's fully against the idea of a 'cure.'

Don't want it
The repetition of this phrase emphasizes her strong feeling that she doesn't want to be 'cured.'

If there's a remedy
The singer is trying to convey that she's not interested in any solution at all.

I'll run from it
The singer's dramatic statement shows that she's not just against solutions, but that she's actively avoiding them.

Think about it all the time
The repetitive thoughts show that the problem has consumed the singer's mind.

Never let it out of my mind
This line further emphasizes that the singer is consumed by the problem and can't let it go.

'Cause I love you
This line shows that the problem is somehow connected to feelings of love for someone else.

I've got the sweetest hangover
The use of 'hangover' here implies that the singer is experiencing the aftermath of something, possibly a relationship that ended poorly.

I don't wanna get over
The repetition of this line shows that the singer doesn't want to move on from whatever happened.

Yeah, I don't wanna get over
The repetition of this line further emphasizes that the singer is really committed to not moving on.

Ooh, I don't need no cure
The singer isn't just against a solution, but actively insists she doesn't need one.

Sweet lovin'
The sweet love mentioned throughout the song harkens back to the feelings mentioned before, showing that this relationship (or lack thereof) is central to the song.

Don't call a doctor
The fact that the singer doesn't want anyone to help her in her state emphasizes how fully she's committed to feeling this way.

Don't call her momma
This line could either be a warning against involving family members or a reference to the idea of seeking comfort that would come from calling a parent.

Don't call her preacher
The repetition of this command emphasizes that the singer is fully against anyone trying to help her spiritually or emotionally either.

No, I don't need it
The repetition of this phrase further emphasizes that the singer is truly self-reliant and doesn't want or need help.

I don't want it
The repetition of this phrase emphasizes once again that the singer is truly against the idea of someone trying to intervene or help.

Sweet love, I love you
This is another line emphasizing that the love (or lack thereof) in the singer's life is central to the song.

Sweet love, need love
The repetition of this phrase again emphasizes that the love in the singer's life is something she's thinking about continually.

If there's a cure for this
The recurrence of this line emphasizes that the desire to avoid a solution is a central theme in the song.

I don't want it
The repetition of this phrase is a callback to earlier lines, showing how resistant the singer is to the idea of fixing anything.

I don't want it no
The doubling up of the language here adds extra emphasis once again to the singer's anti-cure stance.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
This repetition of the word love once again emphasizes that it's central to the song's lyrics, as well as perhaps the singer's emotions overall.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
The second repetition of this phrase furthers the emphasis on the word love.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
The repetition of this phrase for a third time really drives home that the love in the singer's life is the most important thing on her mind.

Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love
Repeating the phrase again at the end of the song gives a sense of finality to this central aspect of the lyrics.
