The One Who Really Loves You
Awakening Love's Warning: The One Who Really Loves You by Monica Rocha
Lyrics
Some other girls are fillin' your head with jive
Some other girls are filling your head with deceitful talk
So now you're acting like you don't know that I'm alive
You are now pretending as if you are unaware of my existence
Love you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
Realize that you need to love me before our relationship falls apart
And you lose me, little me
Warning that the consequence of not waking up to love is losing the speaker
The one who really loves you
The speaker is the one who truly loves you
Susie only wants you until the day (only wants you until the day)
Susie's love is temporary until her distant true love returns
That she'll again have her true love who's far, far away (her true love far away)
Elaborating on Susie's situation with a distant true love
So love you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
Reiteration of the need to wake up to love before a breakup
And you lose me, little me
Repeating the potential loss of the speaker if not awakened to love
The one who really loves you (I really love you, yeah)
Emphasizing that the speaker genuinely loves you
Ginnie only wants you 'cause she thinks she has to have everyone
Ginnie's interest in you is driven by a desire to have everyone
Minnie only wants you 'cause she thinks that hurting me would be fun
Minnie's attraction is based on the belief that hurting the speaker would be enjoyable
Oh, oh, oh, silly Lilly, you know she doesn't really want you with a love that's true
Describing Lilly as foolish and insincere in her professed love
In fact there's no other girl in this whole wide world who can love you like I do
Asserting that no other girl in the world can love you like the speaker does
They get tired of you and they're gonna put you down (put you down, put you down)
Warning that others will tire of you and criticize you
Then they ain't gonna want you hangin' around (hangin' around, hangin' around)
Predicting that others will reject your presence
So love you better wake up, yeah, before we break up
Repeating the urgent need to wake up to love to avoid a breakup
And you lose me, little me
Reiterating the potential loss of the speaker if not awakened to love
The one who really loves you (I really love you, yeah)
Emphasizing once again that the speaker genuinely loves you
I do, really, really love you (I really love you)
Confirming the depth of the speaker's love for you
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh
An expression of concern or realization, possibly about the consequences of not waking up to love
