You Don't Love Me
Turner Tina & Ike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I grew to love you more each passing day
Before too long I'd filled my world around you
Yeah and I prayed you loved enough of me to stay
Oh if you love me let me know
If you don't then let me go
I can't take another minute of this day without you in it
If you don't set me free
Take the chains away that keep me loving you
I'm talkin' 'bout the arms that open wide to hold me closer
And the hand that run their fingers through my hair
And the smile that says hello it's good to see you
Any time I turn around and find you there
Oh it's this and so much more that makes me love you
What else can I do to make you see
You know you'll have whatever's mine to give you
But a love affair for one get there with you
So if you love me let me know
If you don't let me go
I can't take another minute of the day without you near
If you love me let it be
If you don't then set me free
Just take these chains away that keeps me loving you
If you love me let me know
And if you don't let me go
Just take these chains away that keeps me loving you

Yesterday you came my way,
I remember the day you came into my life
And when you smiled at me,
The moment you smiled at me, I felt something special
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
My heart fluttered with excitement
That it was love at sight and
I realized instantly that I was in love with you
I was right to love you as I do.
I know I made the right choice to love you deeply
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
But I never imagined that you could feel the same way about me
Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
Your blue eyes and tender kisses are so captivating
I never knew what they could do.
I never knew how much your eyes and kisses could affect me
You're telling ev'ry one I know
You're telling everyone about how much you care for me
I'm on your mind each place we go
I'm always on your mind no matter where we are
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
Everyone is surprised that you have fallen in love with me
I have always placed you far above me.
I always thought of you as being out of my league
I just can't imagine that you love me.
It's hard for me to believe that you truly love me
And after all is said and done,
Even after everything we've been through
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I feel incredibly lucky to have you as mine
Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you're not around, I feel sad and lonely
When you are not around.
I miss you dearly when you're not here with me
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
Everything seems to go wrong when you're not here
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
When you're with me, I feel so proud to have you
For I'm so proud of you
I'm proud of who you are and everything you do
It all seems too good to me to all be true
Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that you're mine and that things are going so well

I got this great track on CD called Universal Masters Collection: Classic Ike & Tina Turner. It cost next to nothing and has many more (mainly blues infused) great cuts like this. Tina sounds great as always & Ike's raw stinging guitar really stands out and gives whole album an edge. Well worth checking out.
