Keep on Loving You
Eternal Love Unveiled: REO Speedwagon's Timeless Affection
Lyrics
You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby
The speaker's emotions or feelings were evident in their eyes.
There was somethin' missin'
Something crucial was lacking or absent in the relationship.
You should have known by the tone of my voice, maybe
The tone of the speaker's voice conveyed a message, which the other person possibly didn't grasp.
But you didn't listen
The other person didn't pay attention or heed the speaker's communication.
You played dead, but you never bled
Metaphorical imagery depicting the other person's avoidance of emotional engagement or confrontation.
Instead you laid still in the grass, all coiled up and hissin'
The other person remained motionless and silent, harboring hidden emotions or feelings.
And though I know all about those men
The speaker is aware of other men but emphasizes their commitment to the relationship despite that knowledge.
Still I don't remember
The speaker's memory might be clouded or indifferent towards past experiences.
'Cause it was us
Reiterating the bond and history shared with the partner, predating other experiences.
Baby, way before then, and we're still together
Despite preceding events, the relationship has endured.
And I meant
The sincerity behind the speaker's words.
Every word I said
The genuineness and truthfulness of the speaker's prior declarations of love.
When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever
Expressing an eternal and unchanging love for the partner.
And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Commitment to continue loving the partner despite challenges.
'Cause it's the only thing I want to do
Emphasizing the exclusive desire to love the partner without interruptions.
I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin' you
Expressing the preference to remain awake and devoted to loving the partner instead of sleeping.
And I meant
Reiteration of the enduring commitment and sincerity in past declarations of love.
Every word I said
Reaffirmation of the genuine and everlasting love expressed previously.
When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever
Restating the unchanging and eternal nature of the speaker's love for the partner.
And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Reaffirming the commitment to persist in loving the partner despite challenges.
'Cause it's the only thing I want to do
Reiterating the exclusive desire to continue loving the partner without interruptions.
I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin' you
Preferential choice to remain awake and devoted to loving the partner instead of sleeping.
Baby, I'm gonna keep on loving you
A promise to continue loving the partner persistently.
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
Emphasis on the exclusive desire to continuously love the partner without breaks.
I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin' you
