I Loved You
Tina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I know you love me, baby
But you never tell me so
Yeah, I know you love me, baby
But you never tell me so
If you don't tell me that you love me
I'm gonna pack my rags and go

I live across the street from a jukebox, baby
And all night long, they play the blues
I live across the street from a jukebox, baby
And all night long, they play the blues
And every time they spin that record
Honey, it makes me think of you

And one little song in particular, baby
Always sticks in my mind
yeah, there's one little song in particular, baby
Always sticks in my mind

Every time they play it, baby
I start right into cryin'
Oh, baby, please don't leave me, oh

Woo-hoo
Play it to me
Play the blues for me
Please play the blues for me

Now I mightcrawl across my bed, baby
Cry myself to sleep
Yeah, I'm gonna crawl across my bed, baby
Cry myself to sleep




And in my dreams, I hear you saying
Lover, please come back to me, oh

Line by Line Meaning

Yeah, I know you love me, baby
I am aware of your feelings for me, my dear


But you never tell me so
However, you never express your love verbally


If you don't tell me that you love me
If you fail to confess your love for me


I'm gonna pack my rags and go
I will leave and abandon this relationship


I live across the street from a jukebox, baby
My residence is situated opposite a jukebox, darling


And all night long, they play the blues
Throughout the night, the jukebox plays melancholic music


And every time they spin that record
And whenever that song is played


Honey, it makes me think of you
My sweet, it reminds me of you


And one little song in particular, baby
Especially one particular song, my love


Always sticks in my mind
It lingers in my thoughts


Every time they play it, baby
Each time it is played, my dear


I start right into cryin'
I immediately burst into tears


Oh, baby, please don't leave me, oh
Oh darling, please do not abandon me


Woo-hoo
Expressing excitement or enthusiasm


Play it to me
Perform the song for me


Play the blues for me
Play sad, soulful music for my sake


Please play the blues for me
Kindly indulge me by playing the blues


Now I might crawl across my bed, baby
At this point, I may find myself crawling on my bed, my love


Cry myself to sleep
Weep until I fall asleep


And in my dreams, I hear you saying
During my dreams, I can hear you uttering


Lover, please come back to me, oh
Beloved, I implore you to return to me
