Say You Do
Whispers of Love: Randy Louise's 'Say You Do' Unveiled
Lyrics
Say you do, you do
Expressing the desire for the assurance of love and commitment.
Say you do, you do
-It doesn't really matter who else sees me
Indicating that the perception of others is irrelevant as long as the person's eyes are focused on the speaker.
As long as I can have your eyes to keep
Emphasizing the importance of having the attention and affection of the person, comparing it to keeping their eyes.
I'm not one who caters much to gazes
Stating a general disinterest in others' looks but expressing a special interest in the gaze of the person being addressed.
But for yours it'd be my treat
Highlighting the speaker's willingness to make an exception for the person's gaze as a treat.
Putting all my eggs in just one basket
Metaphorically investing all emotions and hopes in one person.
No need to tell me that it's a mistake
Acknowledging the potential mistake but not wanting to be warned about it.
I already know that it's the makings
Recognizing that the situation may lead to heartbreak.
Of a big heartbreak
Acknowledging the possibility of a significant emotional setback.
Oh ooo
A vocal expression, possibly reflecting emotional intensity or anticipation.
If you love, if you want me
Requesting the verbal affirmation of love.
Say you do
-Oh ooo if you trust me, if you need me
Seeking assurance of trust and need in the relationship.
Say you do
-Ahh
An emotional expression, possibly indicating vulnerability or anticipation.
It's funny how we're mirrors of each other
Noting the similarity between the speaker and the addressed person.
And everything in me I see in you
-So how is it you always keep me guessing
Expressing confusion or curiosity about the unpredictable actions of the addressed person.
About everything you do
Pondering the mysterious behavior of the person in the relationship.
I don't wanna read too much into it
Expressing a desire not to overanalyze the situation while acknowledging the clarity of the person's words.
But your words are clear and plain to see
Emphasizing that the speaker can understand the person's words but is struggling due to past experiences.
It's the past that's messing with my vision
Attributing the difficulty in understanding to past emotional baggage.
So be patient with me
Requesting patience from the addressed person due to the speaker's emotional struggles.
Oh ooo
A vocal expression, possibly reflecting emotional intensity or anticipation.
If you love, if you want me
Reiterating the request for verbal affirmation of love.
Say you do
-Oh ooo if you trust me, if you need me
Reiterating the need for assurance of trust and dependence in the relationship.
Say you do
-Oh ooo
Repetition of the desire for affirmation of love.
Oh ooo
-You do, you do
Concluding with the certainty of the person's commitment and love.
