Don't Blame Him
Unraveling Love's Mystery: 'Don't Blame Him' by Irma Thomas
Lyrics
Does he love me
Expressing uncertainty about the sincerity of his love.
It's too soon to know
Indicating that it's too early to determine the depth of his feelings.
Can I believe him
Questioning the trustworthiness of his declarations of love.
When he tells me so
Seeking assurance and confirmation of his love for her.
And is he fooling
Wondering if his actions are genuine or if he's deceiving her.
Is this all a game
Speculating whether the relationship is sincere or just a game.
Am I the fire
Questioning her significance in his life, whether she's the main attraction.
Or just another flame
Contemplating if she holds a lasting place in his heart or if she's just a fleeting passion.
A one-sided love would break my heart
Expressing the emotional impact of unrequited love.
He may be just acting and playing a part
Suspecting that he might be insincere, merely playing a role in the relationship.
If he don't love me
If he doesn't truly love her, she wants him to be honest about it.
Let him tell me so
Encouraging open communication about his feelings.
And I can't hold him
Accepting the possibility of letting him go if he chooses to leave.
If he wants to go
Acknowledging her inability to control his decisions.
And though I'll cry
Anticipating sadness when he departs.
When he's gone
Recognizing the emotional pain of separation.
I won't die
Asserting that she will survive the heartbreak.
I'll live on
Emphasizing resilience and the ability to move forward.
If it's so
Accepting the situation, whatever it may be.
It's too soon
Reiterating that it's too early to draw conclusions about the relationship.
Way too soon to know
Stressing the need for time to understand the true nature of their connection.
And though I'll cry
Repeating the acknowledgment of anticipated sadness upon his departure.
When he's gone
Reaffirming that she won't succumb to despair despite the emotional pain.
I won't die
Emphasizing the strength to endure and continue living.
I'll live on
Asserting resilience and the ability to move forward without him.
If it's so
Accepting the situation, whatever it may be (repeated).
It's too soon
Reiterating that it's too early to draw conclusions about the relationship (repeated).
Way too soon to know
Stressing the need for time to understand the true nature of their connection (repeated).
