So You Think You're In Love
Unraveling the Mysteries of Love: Robyn Hitchcock's So You Think You're In Love
Lyrics
So you think you're in love
Expressing the belief of being in love
Yes, you probably are
Affirming the likelihood of actually being in love
But you wanna be straight about it
Desiring honesty and openness in the relationship
Oh, you wanna be straight about it now
Emphasizing the importance of being straightforward
So you think you're in love
Reiteration of the feeling of being in love
Yes, you probably are
Confirmation of the probable existence of love
But you wanna be straight about it
Reiterating the need for honesty and clarity
Oh, you wanna be straight about it now
Stressing the importance of being straightforward
Can you imagine what the people say? Can you?
Pondering on the possible judgments from others
But the silent majority
Referencing a silent majority, possibly implying societal norms
Is the crime of the century
Suggesting that conforming to norms is a significant offense
You know it
Emphasizing the gravity of the situation
Are you sure that it's wise?
Questioning the wisdom of the perceived love
No, you probably ain't
Expressing doubt or skepticism about the wisdom
You don't wanna be faint about it
Advising against being weak or hesitant
Oh, you shouldn't be faint about it now
Emphasizing the importance of avoiding faint-heartedness
By the look in your eyes
Observing emotions through the look in the eyes
No, you probably ain't
Expressing doubt about the observed emotions
But you shouldn't be faint about it
Advising against being faint or weak in expression
Oh, you gotta be faint about it now
Stressing the need to be bold in expression
What is love made of?
Pondering the composition or essence of love
Nobody knows
Highlighting the mystery surrounding the nature of love
What are you afraid of?
Questioning fears associated with love
Everyone knows
Positing that everyone is aware of these fears
It's love
Affirming the presence of love
It's love
Reiteration of the presence of love
So you think you're in love
Repeating the belief in being in love
Yes, you probably are
Reaffirming the likelihood of actually being in love
But you wanna be straight about it
Reiterating the desire for honesty and openness
Oh, you gotta be straight about it now
Emphasizing the importance of being straightforward
So you think you're in love
Repetition of the feeling of being in love
Yes, you probably are
Confirmation of the probable existence of love
But you wanna be straight about it
Reiterating the need for honesty and clarity
Oh, you gotta be straight about it now
Stressing the importance of being straightforward
So you think you're in love
Final affirmation of the belief in being in love
Yeah
Concluding statement indicating confidence in love
