Who's Lovin' You
Melancholy Reflections: Who Holds Your Heart Now?
Lyrics
When I, I had you
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker had the person addressed.
I treated you bad
Acknowledging mistreatment and unkind behavior towards the addressed person.
And wrong my dear
Admitting to being both bad and wrong in the treatment of the addressed person.
But since, since you been away
Expressing a realization of the impact since the person's departure.
Dontcha know I sit around
Conveying a state of sadness and contemplation during the absence of the addressed person.
With my head hangin' down
Describing a posture of sorrow with the head hanging down.
And I wonder who's lovin you
Pondering about who might be loving the addressed person in their absence.
I, I, I, I, I should have never
Expressing regret for causing tears and sorrow.
Never ever made you cry
An acknowledgment that the speaker deeply regrets making the addressed person cry.
But girl since, since you been gone
Reflecting on the emotional impact and emptiness since the person's departure.
Dontcha know I sit around
Describing a continued state of sadness and reflection with a lowered head.
With my head hangin' down
Continuing to wonder about the love life of the addressed person.
And I wonder who's lovin you
(Reiteration of the speaker's contemplation about who might be loving the addressed person.)
'Cause a life without love
Contemplating the difficulty of a life devoid of love.
Is oh so lonely, babe
Expressing the loneliness associated with a life lacking love.
I don't think
Expressing doubt or uncertainty.
I don't think I'm gonna make it
Conveying a sense of struggle and doubt about the ability to endure the absence of love.
All my life
Reflecting on a lifelong connection and commitment to the addressed person.
All my life, yeah
Affirming a dedication to the addressed person throughout the speaker's life.
I belongs to you only
Expressing exclusivity and belonging to the addressed person.
Come on home baby
Inviting the person to come back home.
Come on and take it
Encouraging the person to reclaim what rightfully belongs to them.
All I can do
Expressing the limitation of the speaker's actions to crying in the absence of the addressed person.
Since you been gone is cry
Continuing to highlight the emotional impact of the person's absence, specifically crying.
And you, babe
Addressing the person and wondering if they think about the speaker.
Dontcha you wonder with your pretty head
Encouraging the person to contemplate the speaker's actions and emotions.
About all I will do
Reflecting on the depth of the speaker's emotions and actions in the person's absence.
Dontcha know I sit around
Describing a continued state of sadness and reflection with a lowered head.
With my head hangin' down
(Reiteration of the speaker's contemplation about who might be loving the addressed person.)
And I wonder who's lovin you
(Final expression of the ongoing wonder about who might be loving the addressed person.)
