Nothin' But a Heartache
Healing from Heartache: The Doobie Brothers' Resonant Tale
Lyrics
Michael mcdonald
Introduction of the singer, Michael McDonald.
So you tell him to say no more
Telling someone not to reveal more information.
You don't want to know why or where
Expressing a lack of interest in knowing the reasons or location.
Where he's been all these lonely nights
Not concerned about the places the person has been during lonely nights.
You know what's wrong and don't care what's right
Being aware of what is wrong but indifferent to what is right.
As long as he comes back to you
As long as the person returns, that's sufficient.
Someone to love him all his life
Desire for someone to love the person for their entire life.
It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Emphasizing that the situation is merely a heartache.
Darling, you'll get over it
Encouraging the listener to overcome the heartache.
It ain't nothing but a heartache
Reiteration that the experience is just a heartache.
Darling, you'll get over it
Reassuring the listener that they will eventually move on.
There's always there comes a day
Highlighting the inevitability of a day when love fades.
When love just goes away
Stating that love sometimes diminishes.
When there's no caring, no words to say
Describing a situation where there is no care or words to express.
There's no forgiving, no games to play
Emphasizing the absence of forgiveness and the end of playful interactions.
When all you know will get you through
When familiar coping mechanisms are all that remains.
Seems like you've known it all your life
Suggesting a feeling of knowing such experiences throughout life.
It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Reiteration that the emotional pain is simply a heartache.
Darling, you'll get over it
Encouraging the listener to move past the heartache.
It ain't nothin' but a heartache
Reiterating that the emotional distress is just a heartache.
Darling, you'll get over it
Reassuring the listener that they will eventually overcome the heartache.
