Do You Love Me
Unveiling Love's Inquiry: Chuck Berry's Soulful Questioning
Lyrics
My first and only love, I do sincerely ask of you
Expressing a genuine request to the first and only love, seeking an honest answer.
The one and only question that my heart is wandering to:
Presenting the central question on the singer's mind regarding the sincerity of the partner's love.
Do you love me? Do you mean the things you say?
Asking if the partner truly loves and if their words reflect genuine feelings.
If you love me, baby, you wonæ?° treat me this way.
Stating that if the partner loves, their actions should align with love, not mistreatment.
Donæ?° treat me this way!
Reiterating the plea for the partner not to mistreat and emphasizing the importance of love.
I tried so hard to proove to you that my love for you is real
Expressing effort in proving the sincerity of love and frustration with the lack of sweet gestures in return.
You never say sweet things to try to change the way I feel;
Noting the partner's failure to reciprocate with affectionate words to change the singer's emotions.
Do you love me? Do you mean the things you say?
Repeating the inquiry about the authenticity of the partner's love and the impact of their words.
If you love me, baby, you wonæ?° treat me this way.
Highlighting the expectation that genuine love should not result in mistreatment.
Donæ?° treat me this way!
Emphasizing the plea for the partner not to mistreat and to express love sincerely.
(Do you love me? Do you mean the things you say to me?)
A repetition of the central question, seeking confirmation of love and sincerity in words.
I never asked you were youæ?³e been or where you want to go
Indicating a past lack of curiosity about the partner's activities but now expressing the need to know.
But now the time has come, my dear, and I have got to know:
Signifying a pivotal moment where the singer must learn about the partner's feelings and intentions.
Do you love me? Do you mean the things you say?
Reiterating the central question about the authenticity of the partner's love.
If you love me, baby, you wonæ?° treat me this way.
Stating that if the partner loves, mistreatment should not be present in the relationship.
Donæ?° treat me this way!
Reemphasizing the plea for the partner not to mistreat and to demonstrate genuine love.
(Donæ?° treat me this way!)
Repeating the plea against mistreatment and the desire for authentic love.
(Donæ?° treat me this way!)
Further reinforcing the rejection of mistreatment in the context of love.
