Lament
Werner Müller and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Though I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But, nevertheless, why stir up memories?
Been invited on dates
Might have gone, but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

He admits that he had visited the club but couldn't make it past the door since he knew everyone would be asking about her. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "don't get around much anymore," which symbolizes the singer's inability to move on from his past love.

The singer's longing for his lover is palpable, and the pain of missing someone is something that many people have experienced in their lives.

Missed the Saturday dance
I didn't attend the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
I heard that the dance floor was full
Couldn't bear it without you
I couldn't handle going without you
Don't get around much anymore
I don't go out much these days
Though I'd visit the club
I thought about going to the club
Got as far as the door
I only made it to the entrance
They'd have asked me about you
People would have asked me where you were
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
I feel more relaxed now, my dear
But, nevertheless, why stir up memories?
But why bring up old memories?
Been invited on dates
I have been asked out on dates
Might have gone, but what for?
I might have gone, but there's no point
Awfully different without you
It's so different without you
Don't get around much anymore
I really don't go out much anymore
