Sugar Boy
Heartache Unveiled: Beth Orton's Soulful Reflection in Sugar Boy
Lyrics
Sugar boy its all over now,
Sugar boy, the relationship has come to an end.
Sugar boy its all over now,
Reiteration that the romantic connection is finished.
Ain't your loving,
Not just the absence of your love but also your actions are the issue.
But the things that you do,
Highlighting specific negative actions in the relationship.
Listen boy I'm getting tired of you,
Expressing weariness and frustration with the boy's behavior.
Sugar boy what you trying to do,
Questioning the boy's motives or actions.
Well I told you I loved you,
Reminder of expressing love previously.
Now what more can I do,
Feeling helpless despite expressing love.
Told you I loved you,
Repetition of expressing love with a hint of emotional pain.
You beat my heart black and blue,
The boy has caused emotional distress, possibly through mistreatment.
I told you I loved you,
Reiteration of the expression of love despite the harm.
Now what more can I do,
Emphasizing the sense of helplessness in the face of the boy's actions.
Do you want me to lay down
Asking if the boy wants the singer to endure suffering for him.
And die for you.
Suggesting a dramatic plea for the boy's love.
Sugar boy its all over now,
Reiteration that the relationship is definitively over.
Sugar boy its all over now,
Continuation of the acknowledgment that it's the end.
Went to the doctor,
Seeking external validation, possibly due to the emotional toll of the breakup.
Told me something was wrong,
Confirmation of a problem or issue in the relationship from an external perspective.
Listen girl you shouldn't feel so alone.
Encouraging the girl not to feel isolated or lonely despite the breakup.
Sugar boy what you trying to do,
Repeating the question about the boy's intentions or actions.
Well I told you I loved you,
Recalling the expression of love but with a sense of resignation.
Now what more can I do,
Expressing the limited options despite professing love.
Told you I loved you,
Reiteration of the emotional pain caused by the boy.
You beat my heart black and blue,
Continuing to convey the emotional distress caused by the boy's actions.
I told you I loved you,
Repeating the declaration of love, despite the hardships.
Now what more can I do,
Expressing the limited capacity to change the situation despite love.
Do you want me to lay down
Pleading with the boy about the extreme sacrifice of laying down and dying.
And die for you.
A dramatic plea for the boy's acknowledgment or reciprocation.
Lay down and die,
Repetition of the dramatic suggestion to lay down and die.
Lay down and die,
Reiteration of the extreme suggestion, emphasizing refusal.
Well I'm not gonna lay down and die,
Asserting independence and refusal to succumb to despair.
No I'm not gonna lay down and die,
Emphasizing resilience and determination to withstand hardships.
Oh no I won't lay down and die,
Reaffirmation of the refusal to give in to despair or surrender.
Never gonna lay down and die,
Stating a commitment to never surrender or succumb to difficulties.
Oh no I'm never gonna lay down and die for you,
A firm declaration of not laying down and dying for the boy.
Oh no I'm never gonna lay down and die for you,
Reiteration of the refusal to sacrifice oneself for the boy.
I'm never gonna lay down and die.
Final assertion of never laying down and dying for the boy.
