Man in Love
Unveiling Love's Deception: A Tale of Heartbreak in Sarah Jane Scouten's 'Man in Love'
Lyrics
You're not acting like a man in love at all
You're not behaving like someone who is genuinely in love
But then again what would I know?
Expressing uncertainty about her understanding of the situation
All I know is that you hurt me so
Confirming that she has been emotionally hurt by the person
I don't need to be the one who takes the fall
She doesn't want to bear the consequences or blame for the relationship's problems
All I wish is just for one time
Expressing a desire for the person to persist in the relationship despite challenges
You wouldn't quit because I call you mine
Wanting the person to commit to the relationship publicly
No you're not acting like a man in love at all
Reiterating that the person's behavior is not indicative of love
And if I can I'm gonna leave
Expressing a desire to end the relationship if possible
No you're not acting like the way that people do
Pointing out the person's unusual or inappropriate behavior
And you're saying things you oughtn't to
Noting that the person is saying things they shouldn't
Bout loving other girls because they're new
Indicating that the person has expressed interest in other girls
Remember the first time that you told me bout your love
Recalling a moment when the person shared details about their love, emphasizing a special memory
Neath a street car on the East side of town
Setting the scene for the memory - under a streetcar on the East side of town
Glad who we were then they can't see us now
Reflecting on how their past selves differ from the present
Cause you're not acting like a man in love at all
Reiterating that the person's current actions don't align with being in love
And if I could then I'd undo the years
Expressing a wish to go back in time and undo the pain caused by the person
But if I never had a love like the way it ought to be
Questioning how she could recognize true love if she has never experienced it
How could I know
Expressing uncertainty about her own understanding of love
That you're not acting like a man in love at all
Reiterating that the person's actions don't align with being in love
Cause then again what would I know
Repeating uncertainty about her own understanding of the situation
All I know is that you hurt me so
Reiterating that she has been emotionally hurt by the person
I'm just hoping that one day that you'll regret
Expressing hope that the person will regret letting her go
Having let me drive away
Regret about the person allowing her to leave
Watching me leave without hearing you say,
Desire for the person to express regret or love as she departs
I'm gonna act just like a man in love, that's all
Expressing a wish for the person to start behaving like someone in love
And then I'd never leave
Stating that she wouldn't leave if the person acts like a man in love
