The Concept of You
Embracing the Fantasy: The Concept of You by Julie Roberts
Lyrics
I don’t know the reality of you darlin’
I am not familiar with the true essence of who you are, my dear
I don’t know what it's like to be you
I lack an understanding of your personal experiences
But if you were mine oh mine
If you were my significant other
Oh, how that would be so very fine
Expressing how wonderful it would be
And anything less than that will not do
Any situation less than that ideal wouldn't be acceptable
Baby, I dig you
Expressing affection and admiration for the person
More than words can say
My feelings for you go beyond the limitations of words
Baby, I dig you
Continuing to express deep affection
Why let reality get in the way
Suggesting not to let reality hinder the emotions
And I don’t know the reality of you baby
Reiterating the lack of knowledge about the true nature of the person
But I love the concept of you
Despite not knowing the reality, expressing love for the idea or image of the person
You don’t know the real me
Asserting that the other person doesn't truly know the speaker
Do you boy
Addressing the lack of understanding from the other person
You don’t know what it's like to be me
Highlighting the unique experience of being the speaker
Yeah, I love to fantasize
Expressing a love for imagination and daydreaming
And you make me all glassy-eyed
Describing the impact of the other person on the speaker
Got a lump in my throat
Feeling emotional with a lump in the throat
And I'm wobbly in the knees
Feeling physically affected with shaky knees
Baby, I dig you
Continuing to express deep affection
More than words can say
Reiterating the depth of feelings that go beyond verbal expression
Baby, I dig you
Continuing to emphasize the strength of emotions
Why let reality get in the way
Encouraging not to let the constraints of reality affect the emotional connection
And I don’t know the reality of you baby
Reiterating the lack of understanding about the true nature of the person
But I love the concept of you
Expressing love for the concept or idea of the person, despite the lack of knowledge
And I don’t know the reality of you baby
Repeating the acknowledgment of not knowing the reality of the person
But I love the concept of you
Reaffirming the love for the concept or idea of the person
