Cecilia
Times Two Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up in my bedroom
I got up to wash my face
When I've come back to bed
Someone's taken my place
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
I'm begging you please
To come home
Come on home
Celia, won't you let me make love to you?
Celia, don't want anyone taking my place
Celia, won't you let me make love to you?
Celia don't want anyone taking my place
Whoa Cecilia
You're breaking my heart
You're shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
To come home
Come on home
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Cecilia baby won't you let me make love to you?
Don't want no one taking my place
Cecilia baby won't you let me make love to you?
Don't want no one taking my place
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
To come home
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
To come home
Cecilia, you're breaking my heart (fade)
The song “Cecilia” by Times Two speaks about a man named asking Cecilia to come home after making love. The song is full of energy and fun and describes the feeling of being replaced in a relationship. The song highlights the situation that the singer finds himself in after discovering that someone else had taken over his position while he was away washing his face. He is begging Cecilia to come back home and let him make love to her. The song is full of repetition and describes a person who is in a lot of emotional pain.
The song has an upbeat melody that is full of energy; it is characterized by a unique fusion of rock, pop, and electronic music that was prevalent in the 80s. Besides, the lyrics suggest infidelity, having a lover outside marriage, which, as we know, can be devastating to one's well-being, hence breaking the heart of the singer. The lyrics express feeling insecure and emotional conflict, shaking his confidence on a daily basis. At the end of the song, the lyric "Jubilation, She loves me again" is a happy moment for the singer since he finally gets his lover back.

I loved this! I had a cassette tape. Speaking of Simon and Garfunkel, I also liked the Bangles cover.
