Hopelessly Devoted To You
Unwavering Devotion: Skeeter Davis' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
Expressing that the speaker's heart has been broken before.
My eyes are not the first to cry
Acknowledging that the speaker's eyes have shed tears before.
I'm not the first to know
Recognizing that others have experienced the same emotions.
There's just no getting over you.
Conveying the difficulty of moving on from the person in question.
I know that I'm just a fool who's willing
Admitting to being a fool who waits for the person they love.
To sit around and wait for you
Expressing a willingness to wait patiently for the loved one.
But baby, can't you see there's nothing else for me to do
Stating that there's no alternative or other option for the speaker.
I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
Declaring a deep and unwavering devotion to the person.
But now there's nowhere to hide
Conveying a sense of being exposed and vulnerable.
Since you pushed my love aside
Describing the rejection and dismissal of the speaker's love.
I'm out of my head
Expressing emotional distress and confusion.
Hopelessly devoted to you.
Reiterating the speaker's profound devotion despite the pain.
Hopelessly devoted to you.
Repeating the theme of unwavering dedication.
Hopelessly devoted to you.
Emphasizing the speaker's commitment to the person they love.
My head is saying "Fool, forget him."
Describing conflicting messages from the head and heart.
My heart is saying "Don't let go."
Highlighting the internal struggle of holding on and letting go.
Hold on 'till the end that's what I intend to do
Expressing determination to hold on until the end.
I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
Reaffirming the speaker's hopelessly devoted state.
But now there's nowhere to hide
Reiterating the feeling of having no escape or refuge.
Since you pushed my love aside
Re-emphasizing the rejection and abandonment by the loved one.
I'm out of my head
Reiterating the emotional turmoil and confusion.
I'm hopelessly devoted to you.
Affirming the unyielding devotion despite the challenges.
Hopelessly devoted to you.
Repeating the theme of being hopelessly devoted.
Hopelessly devoted to you...
Concluding with a strong reaffirmation of the speaker's devotion.
