Sweet Love
stuart marty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping maybe someday you will change
I heard that same ole story too many times before
You tell me that you love me then you turn around and run
I just want your sweet love
I can't stop coming around
You know that your sweet love
Someday it's going to tear me down, down, down, down, down, down, d-d-down
Here I am still waiting like the fool I've always been
Hoping maybe some day you will change
I try to give you all of my heart time after time
But you hang me out there like a puppet on a string
I just want your sweet love
I can't stop coming around
You know that your sweet love
Someday it's going to tear me down, down, down, down, down, down, d-d-down
In Stuart Marty's "Sweet Love," he sings about the pain of being in a relationship with someone who constantly tells you they love you but then runs away. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and desperation, as Stuart pleads with his partner to change and give him the love he craves. Despite the repeated letdowns, he can't help but continue to come back for more of their sweet love. The use of repetition emphasizes his repeated attempts to win over his partner and the inevitable downfall of this toxic relationship.
The song also touches on the idea of being stuck in a cycle, as Stuart describes himself as a fool who is still waiting for things to change. He tries to give his all, but his partner keeps him at arm's length, leaving him feeling like a puppet on a string. The slow, mournful melody adds to the somber mood of the song and evokes feelings of sadness and heartache.
