Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never understand.
In time you'll see how much you mean to me,
Let's not ever change, hear me wait and see.
You, you seem to be the perfect man for me,
You have a way about you, yeah-yeah.
That let's me know, you're the only one I want and need,
Please don't ever change, stay the same.
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Don't ever change the way,
The way you feel today,
Don't ever take your love away,
If you love me, if you love me.
Do you really know how you make me feel,
Whenever you're here, hey-hey.
I gotta let you know, any time you need me,
All you gotta do is call, I'll be around.
[Chorus]
Oh baby, I'll be around to pick you up,
When you're feeling down,
If you love me.
Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you,
Oh boy I want to love you now.
Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you,
Ain't ever had no love like this before.
Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you,
Can't you see what you do to me.
Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you,
I can't take this love no more.
Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you,
I want to love you baby, love you baby.
Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you,
That's all I want to do.
In Total's song Don't Ever Change, the lyrics speak to the devotion and love the singer has for their partner. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as the singer acknowledges that their partner may not understand just how happy they make them. However, as time passes, the singer believes their partner will come to see just how much they mean to them. The chorus reinforces this sentiment, as the singer pleads with their partner not to change the way they feel about them or take their love away, as long as their partner loves them.
The second verse takes a more personal tone, as the singer asks their partner if they really know how they make them feel. The singer then reassures their partner that whenever they need them, they'll be there for them. This verse reinforces the idea that the singer feels very deeply for their partner and is committed to being there for them.
The song ends with several repetitions of the phrase "Shooby doo-wop, shoo-doo-wop, I want to love you," which reinforces the desire the singer has for their partner. The song overall is a classic R&B love ballad, with the lyrics speaking to the deep emotion and commitment required for a successful relationship.
