You Don't Love Me
bo diddley & muddy waters & little walter Lyrics

In Bo Diddley's song "You Don't Love Me", the lyrics describe the pain of being in love with someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings. The song begins with the main message of the song as the singer repeats "You don't love me, you don't care, you don't want me, hanging round here". The repetition of this line emphasizes the main message of the song and reinforces the disappointment and sadness the singer is feeling.

The second verse portrays the singer's deep love for the person despite their lack of love in return. The lyrics "Well, I love you, yes I do, ain't nothing in the world, wouldn't do for you" show the lengths the singer is willing to go for this person. This contrasts with the first verse and emphasizes the one-sided nature of the relationship.

The final verse reveals that the singer has seen their love interest with somebody else and heard them say that they do not love him. The repetition of the line "you didn't love me" shows the shock and disappointment the singer is feeling. The song ends with the singer confessing their need and willingness to do anything to win their love over.

Overall, the song is a classic example of lost love and desperation. The repeated lines emphasize the one-sided nature of the relationship, and the final verse leaves listeners with a sense of despair and longing for lost love.
