Hey There
Navigating Love's Illusions: Brook Benton's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Hey there you with the stars in your eyes
Addressing someone with a hopeful and admiring tone, acknowledging the brightness in their eyes.
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise.
Suggesting that the person has experienced love without being deceived, indicating past wisdom.
Hey there you on that high flying cloud
Referring to the person on an optimistic "high flying cloud," possibly in a state of romantic bliss.
Tho' she won't throw a crumb to you
Implying that the object of affection is not reciprocating feelings, using the metaphor of not offering any encouragement.
You think someday she'll come to you.
Expressing the hope that, despite the current situation, the person believes the one they love will eventually come to them.
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
Advising to move on from the unresponsive person, describing her as aloof and indifferent.
She has you dancing on a string, break it and she won't care.
Describing the person as being manipulated or controlled by the indifferent woman who is not affected by any potential break-up.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Offering brotherly advice to reconsider the situation, questioning if the person is seeing it objectively.
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Suggesting a lack of clarity or understanding in the person's perception of the romantic relationship.
Are you too much in love to hear
Questioning whether the person's deep love is hindering their ability to perceive the reality of the situation.
Is it all going in one ear and out the other.
Raising the concern that the advice given might not be registering or influencing the person due to overwhelming emotions.
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
Reiterating the suggestion to forget the indifferent woman, emphasizing her dismissive attitude.
She has you dancing on a string, break it and she won't care.
Reinforcing the idea that the woman has control over the person, emphasizing her lack of concern for a potential breakup.
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Repeating the brotherly advice to reconsider the situation and offering guidance.
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Restating the potential lack of clarity in the person's perception of the romantic relationship.
Are you too much in love to hear
Reiterating the question of whether deep love is affecting the person's ability to hear and understand advice.
Is it all going in one ear and out the other.
Expressing concern that the given advice is not being absorbed, possibly due to intense emotions.
