The One Who Really Loves You
Love's Warning: Wake Up Before You Lose The One Who Really Loves You
Lyrics
Some other girls are fillin' your head with jive
Expressing concern that others are influencing and misleading the person.
So now you're acting like you don't know that I'm alive
Observing a change in behavior, suggesting ignorance of the singer's presence.
Love you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
Warning about the need to realize and appreciate the singer's love before a breakup.
And you lose me, little me
Highlighting the risk of losing the singer due to the person's actions.
The one who really loves you
Emphasizing the singer as the true lover, contrasting with others.
Susie only wants you until the day (only wants you until the day)
Describing Susie's temporary interest until her distant true love returns.
That she'll again have her true love who's far, far away (her true love far away)
Highlighting the distance of Susie's true love as a temporary factor.
So love you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
Reiterating the warning to wake up and realize the singer's love.
And you lose me, little me
Reemphasizing the potential loss of the singer if not valued.
The one who really loves you (I really love you, yeah)
Reaffirming the singer as the one who genuinely loves the person.
Ginnie only wants you 'cause she thinks she has to have everyone
Describing Ginnie's interest due to perceived societal expectations.
Minnie only wants you 'cause she thinks that hurting me would be fun
Pointing out Minnie's interest driven by the desire to hurt the singer.
Oh, oh, oh, silly Lilly, you know she doesn't really want you with a love that's true
Dismissing Lilly's affection as insincere, lacking true love.
In fact there's no other girl in this whole wide world who can love you like I do
Claiming the singer's unique and unmatched love for the person.
They get tired of you and they're gonna put you down (put you down, put you down)
Warning of potential rejection by others and criticism of the person.
Then they ain't gonna want you hangin' around (hangin' around, hangin' around)
Anticipating a loss of interest from others, advising against lingering.
So love you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
Reiterating the urgency to wake up and realize the singer's importance.
And you lose me, little me
Emphasizing the risk of losing the singer if the person remains indifferent.
The one who really loves you (I really love you, yeah)

I do, really, really love you (I really love you)
Expressing a strong, genuine love for the person.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
Indicating a sense of concern or warning through repeated sounds (uh-oh).
