He'll Have to Go
Love's Dilemma: He'll Have to Go
Lyrics
He'll Have To Go (Writers: Joe & Audrey Allison)
Setting the premise of the song's title, indicating someone will need to leave.
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Asking the listener to bring their lips closer to the phone, creating an intimate atmosphere.
Lets pretend that we're together all alone
Suggesting an imagined scenario where they're alone despite physical separation.
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
Requesting to lower the volume of the jukebox, perhaps to maintain privacy or intimacy.
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
Directly addressing the listener's companion, implying they should leave the situation.
Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
Requesting affirmation of love through a whisper, seeking reassurance.
Or is he holding you the way I do
Questioning if the listener's current partner offers the same affection.
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Urging a decision about their feelings, emphasizing the need for clarity.
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go
Prompting a choice between continuing the call or informing the other person to leave.
You cant say the words I want to hear
Expressing frustration as the desired words aren't spoken while in another's company.
While you're with another man
Highlighting the dilemma of expressing feelings while being with someone else.
Do you want me answer yes or no
Directly seeking a clear answer regarding affection, offering understanding.
Darling I will understand
Assuring acceptance of the response, regardless of its nature.
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Recreating the earlier scene, aiming to intensify the connection.
Lets pretend that we're together all alone
Reiterating the imagined closeness despite physical distance.
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
Requesting again to lower the jukebox, emphasizing the desire for privacy.
And you can tell your friend there with you - He'll have to go
Reiterating the instruction for the listener's companion to leave.
