Lyrics
Take away the moments when you really felt alive
Reflecting on moments of true vitality
I'm doing you a favour
Expressing an action done as a favor
I'm doing you a favour
Reiteration of doing a favor
Take away the moments when you told me that you'd die
Recalling a declaration of potential sacrifice
In my honour in my
Referencing an act done in the speaker's honor
In my honour
Repeating the notion of an honorable act
And then you told me why you thought that you were nothing
Exploring the other person's feelings of inadequacy
And I said you were wrong
Disputing the perception of worthlessness
And then you told me why you thought I didn't love you
Addressing doubts about the speaker's love
And I said you were wrong
Contradicting the belief of not being loved
Oh how you were wrong
Emphasizing the incorrectness of the doubts
'Cause if I came back with fifty belly dancers
Picturing a scenario involving numerous belly dancers
I'd still choose you
Affirming a choice in favor of the listener despite alternatives
Take you out for a nice meal
Planning a pleasant meal outing
We'll end up down the pub
Anticipating a casual gathering at a pub
I'm doing you a favour
Reiterating the act as a favor
I'm doing you a favour
Repeating the notion of doing a favor
Friends of friends come bounding
Describing unfamiliar acquaintances arriving
But we've never met before
Emphasizing the novelty of the meeting
They're doing you a favour
Attributing a favor to the new acquaintances
They're doing you a favour
Reiterating the idea of others doing a favor
And then you told me why you thought that you were nothing
Revisiting feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness
And I said you were wrong
Challenging the belief in one's lack of value
And then you told me why you thought I didn't love you
Addressing doubts about the speaker's love once again
And I said you were wrong
Disputing the perception of not being loved
Oh how you were wrong
Emphasizing the incorrectness of the doubts
'Cause if I came back with fifty belly dancers
Picturing an extravagant scenario with fifty belly dancers
I'd still choose you
Affirming a continued choice in favor of the listener
No, if I came back with fifty belly dancers
Reiterating the choice despite an increased number of dancers
I'd still choose you
Stating the persistence of the choice even with more dancers
If I came back with fifty belly dancers
Repeating the idea of choosing the listener over others
I'd still choose you
Emphasizing the unwavering choice of the listener
