Lyrics
Didn't I do it for you?
Questioning past efforts for the person
Why don't I do it for you?
Expressing a desire to be significant
Why won't you do it for me
Questioning the reciprocation of efforts
When all I do is for you?
Highlighting dedication to the person
They wanna see us, wanna see us alone
Noticing external desire to see separation
They wanna see us, wanna see us apart
Emphasizing the external wish for distance
They wanna see us, wanna see us alone
Reiteration of the desire for privacy
They wanna see us, wanna see us apart
Reiteration of external pressure for separation
And I just want to feel you're there
Expressing a need for the partner's presence
And I don't want to have to share our love
Desire for exclusive love without sharing
I try, but I get overwhelmed
Struggling with overwhelming emotions
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had
Metaphorically describing emotions as cellophane
And didn't I do it for you?
Reflecting on past actions for the person
Why don't I do it for you?
Questioning the impact on the person
Why won't you do it for me
Repeating the question of reciprocation
When all I do is for you?
Emphasizing dedication despite uncertainties
And didn't I do it for you?
Reflecting on past actions again
Why won't I do it for you?
Questioning personal motivations
Why won't you do it for me
Repeating the question of reciprocation
When all I do is for you?
Emphasizing dedication despite uncertainties
And I just want to feel you're there
Expressing a need for the partner's presence (repeated)
And I don't want to have to share our love
Desire for exclusive love without sharing (repeated)
I try, but I get overwhelmed
Struggling with overwhelming emotions (repeated)
All wrapped in cellophane, the feelings that we had
Metaphorically describing emotions as cellophane (repeated)
And didn't I do it for you?
Reflecting on past actions again (repeated)
Why don't I do it for you?
Questioning the impact on the person (repeated)
Why won't you do it for me
Repeating the question of reciprocation (repeated)
When all I do is for you?
Emphasizing dedication despite uncertainties (repeated)
