Where Did Our Love Go
Yearning Echoes: Unraveling Love's Departure in Peter Jay's Melody
Lyrics
Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
The speaker pleads for their partner not to leave.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself
The speaker expresses fear and loneliness if left alone.
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
They feel an intense, passionate longing within.
Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad
The depth of the internal pain is emphasized.
You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly
The partner entered the speaker's life tenderly.
With a burning love (baby, baby)
Describes the love as intense and passionate.
That stings like a bee (baby, baby)
Love is compared to something painful.
Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly
The speaker feels helpless in their surrender to love.
You now want to leave (baby, baby)
Despite surrendering, the partner wants to leave.
Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby)
Reiterates the partner's desire to leave.
Ooh (baby, baby)
Expresses emotional pain and longing.
Baby, baby, where did our love go?
The speaker questions where their love has disappeared to.
Ooh, don't you want me?
The speaker questions if the partner still desires them.
Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)?
Asking if the partner has lost interest.
Ooh, baby
An expression of emotional distress.
Baby, baby, where did our love go?
Repeats the inquiry about the disappearance of love.
And all your promises of a love forevermore!
Refers to broken promises of everlasting love.
I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me
Repeats the intense yearning and pain.
Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad
Reemphasizes the depth of emotional hurt.
Before you won my heart (baby, baby)
Describes the partner as perfect before the relationship.
You were a perfect guy
Highlighting a change in the partner's behavior.
But now that you got me
The partner wants to abandon the speaker.
You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby)
Reiterates the partner's desire to leave.
Ooh, baby
An expression of distress.
Baby, baby, baby don't leave me
A plea for the partner to stay, echoing earlier lines.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby)
Reiterates the fear and plea for not being left alone.
Ooh baby, baby, baby
Repeats the emotional plea for the partner to stay.
