Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree
Love's Loyalty: A Serenade of Fidelity
Lyrics
I wrote my mother
The singer expresses writing to their mother.
I wrote my father
The singer expresses writing to their father.
And now I'm writing you too
The singer is now writing to someone else.
I'm sure of mother
The singer is confident about their mother.
I'm sure of father
The singer is confident about their father.
Now I wanna be sure of you
The singer desires confidence from the person they are writing to.
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
A request for the person not to spend time with others under an apple tree.
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
Reiteration of the request to be exclusive under the apple tree.
No! No! No!
An emphatic rejection of the idea of the person being with someone else.
Just remember that I've been true to nobody else but you
Reminding the person of the singer's faithfulness to them.
So just be true to me
A plea for the person to reciprocate the singer's loyalty.
Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me
A request for exclusivity in romantic walks.
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
Reiteration of the request to walk only with the singer.
No! No! No!
A strong rejection of the idea of the person being with someone else.
Don't start showing off all your charms in somebody else's arms
A warning against displaying charms in another person's arms.
You must be true to me
An emphasis on the person's obligation to be true to the singer.
I'm so afraid that the plans we made underneath those moonlit skies
Expressing fear about the potential dissolution of plans under moonlit skies.
Will fade away and you're bound to stray if the stars get in your eyes
Concern that the person might stray if influenced by stars in their eyes.
So, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
A repetition of the request not to sit under the apple tree with anyone else.
You're my L-O-V-E.
An expression of affection, spelling out "L-O-V-E."
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Reiteration of the request for exclusivity under the apple tree.
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
Repetition of the plea for exclusivity.
No! No! No!
Emphatic rejection of the idea of the person being with someone else.
Just remember that I've been true to nobody else but you
Reminding the person of the singer's fidelity to them.
So just be true to me
Request for the person to reciprocate loyalty.
Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me
Request for exclusivity in romantic walks, repeating the sentiment.
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me
Reiteration of the request to walk only with the singer.
No! No! No!
Strong rejection of the idea of the person being with someone else.
Don't start showing off all your charms in somebody else's arms
Warning against displaying charms in another person's arms.
You must be true to me
Emphasis on the person's obligation to be true to the singer.
I'm so afraid that the plans we made underneath those moonlit skies
Expression of fear about the potential dissolution of plans under moonlit skies.
Will fade away and you're bound to stray if the stars get in your eyes
Concern that the person might stray if influenced by stars in their eyes.
So, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Final repetition of the request not to sit under the apple tree with anyone else.
