Satisfy You
The Sweethearts Of The Rodeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby tell me the truth
What in the world?s come over you?
Oh darling I would do
Anything to satisfy you, anything to satisfy you

Should I stay with you forever?
Get those words written on my heart
Now whenever we?re together
I feel like were miles apart, like a stranger in the dark

Oh baby tell me the truth
What in the world?s come over you?
Oh darling I would do
Anything to satisfy you, anything to satisfy you

Honey you don't have to hurry
Just relax and take you're time
I don't know what you don't tell me
I don't mean to be unkind, honey I can't read your mind

Oh baby tell me the truth
What in the world?s come over you?
Oh darling I would do
Anything to satisfy you, anything to satisfy you

I just want to see you happy
I just hate to see you cry
Tell me what it takes to please you
There ain't nothing I won't try, it's anything but say goodbye

Oh baby tell me the truth
What in the world?s come over you?




Oh darling I would do
Anything to satisfy you, anything to satisfy you

Overall Meaning

The Sweethearts of the Rodeo's song "Satisfy You" is about a person who is struggling to understand their partner's changing behavior. They are willing to do anything to make their partner happy and keep their relationship intact, but they feel like they are losing touch with them. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling like a stranger in the dark when they are together, which is a metaphor for the emotional disconnect they are experiencing. The singer repeatedly asks their partner to tell them the truth about what is going on, but they don't get a clear answer. The chorus is a plea for the partner to communicate their needs, so the singer can do what it takes to satisfy them.
