You Belong to Me
Emotional Quest: Longing and Self-Discovery in 'You Belong to Me'
Lyrics
If you please
Expressing a request or condition
If you want
Expressing another condition or desire
Won't you take me in your arms
Asking to be embraced or held
If you care, you really care for me
Questioning the depth of affection and care
Why haven't you taken me in your arms
Questioning the reason for not being embraced yet
You belong to me
Asserting a sense of ownership or belonging
Don't you know, how rare this is
Highlighting the rarity of the situation
You belong to me
Reasserting ownership or belonging
Don't you now oh babe
Questioning awareness of the situation
Are you saying that I made it all up
Questioning the validity of the other's statements
I'm losing my self-esteem
Expressing a loss of self-worth
Am I ever going to see you again
Seeking reassurance about seeing the person again
I'm losing my confidence
Loss of belief in oneself
You're passing by (passing by)
Noticing the other person moving past or ignoring
You're leaving me behind (leaving me behind)
Feeling abandoned or left behind
All my dreams now up the sky
Dreams or hopes seem unattainable
Why not me (why not me)
Questioning why oneself is not chosen
Is it her 'cause (is it her 'cause)
Wondering if someone else is chosen
Should have told me long ago
Regret for not being informed earlier
You belong to me
Reasserting ownership or belonging
Don't you know how rare this is
Highlighting the rarity of the situation
You belong to me
Reasserting ownership or belonging
Don't you know what it is
Questioning understanding of the situation
Don't you know that you're tearing my soul
Expressing deep emotional pain caused by the other
How far do you want to go
Asking about the extent of the other person's actions
But I'll get up and walk on and on
Determined to keep moving forward despite pain
I'm a different woman now
Asserting personal growth and change
You belong to me
Reasserting ownership or belonging
Don't you know, how rare this is
Highlighting the rarity of the situation
You belong to me
Reasserting ownership or belonging
Don't you now, oh babe
Questioning awareness of the situation
Am I ever going find you out there
Questioning the possibility of finding the person
I'm losing my confidence
Continued loss of self-belief
