Julia Says
Wet Wet Wet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems my life was standing still,
Who's sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how I didn't notice
Here we go again, fighting things we never win,
It seems our love was standing still
Oh I'm sorry now (sorry now)
I don't feel the love,
I just hear the words,
Julia says
She doesn't know what it's all about
She doesn't seem to care at all,
Open your eyes and see
Love hurts
I won't be fooled again,
Looking for the dream I couldn't find
The dream for me was left behind
Woh I'm sorry now (sorry now)
It's funny how (funny how)
I don't feel the love
I just hear the words
Julia says
She doesn't know what it's all about,
She doesn't seem to care at all,
Open your eyes and see, love hurts,
Julia please, open your eyes and see
Julia wants to be on her own,
Sharing her thoughts, she is all alone,
Dreaming of the things she wants to be,
Where Julia don't belong
Julia says
She doesn't know, what it's all about
She doesn't know,
Julia please open your eyes see
C'mon Julie open your eyes and see
She don't know what it's all about
Julia please, Julia please
Julia, you don't care at all
Cause I want you
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Julie, Julie, Julie
The lyrics to "Julia Says" by Wet Wet Wet present a story of a person who is struggling to move on from a past love. The first part of the song is about the singer's own struggles with his/her life feeling stagnant, and the realization that the love he/she thought was standing still wasn't love at all. Then, the lyrics shift to Julia, who doesn't understand what love is or seems to care about it. The singer is pleading with Julia to open her eyes and see that love hurts.
The chorus is the most prominent part of the song, with Julia saying she doesn't know what it's all about and doesn't seem to care, while the singer pleads with her to open her eyes and see that love does, indeed, hurt. The song ends with the singer calling out Julia's name repeatedly in a desperate attempt to reach her.
Overall, the lyrics to "Julia Says" are about the complications of love and relationships, particularly when one person is struggling to move on while the other doesn't seem to care.

Julia Says
Wet Wet Wet
Lá vou eu de novo
Pela confusão da minha cabeça
Parece que o meu amor estava parado
Eu estou arrependido agora
É engraçado como eu não sabia disso
Lá vamos nós de novo
Procurando coisas que nós não vamos encontrar
Parece que o nosso amor estava parado
Eu estou arrependido agora
Eu não sinto o amor
Eu só ouço as palavras
A Julia diz
Que ela não sabe sobre o que eu estou falando
Ela não parece se importar muito
Abra os seus olhos e veja
O amor machuca
Eu não vou ser enganado de novo
Procurando pelo sonho que eu não encontrei
O meu sonho eu deixei pra trás
Eu estou arrependido agora
Eu não sinto o amor
Eu só ouço as palavras
A Julia diz
Que ela não sabe sobre o que eu estou falando
Ela não parece se importar muito
Abra os seus olhos e veja
O amor machuca
Julia, por favor
Abra os seus olhos e veja
A Julia quer viver por conta própria
Dividindo um pensamento de que ela é sozinha
Sonhando com as coisas que ela quer ser
Julia, não fique sozinha
A Julia diz
Que ela nãosabe sobreo que eu estou falando
Ela não sabe
Julia, por favor
Abra os seus olhos e veja
Vamos, Julia
Abra os seus olhos e veja
Você não sabe sobre o que eu estou falando
Julia, por favor, Julia, por favor
Você não se importa
Porque eu te quero
Vamos, vamos, vamos, vamos
Julia, Julia, Julia
