Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!

So I cry, I pray and I beg

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you

Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry, and I pray for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you

Anything but you

Love me, love me (Say that you love me)
Fool me, fool me (Go on and fool me)
Love me, love me (I know that you need me)
I can't care 'bout anything but you

    Song Meaning:Yes, it is about being weak - because most people experience that, and this captures it perfectly. That's what makes it a great song.

    General Comment:Why is it with guys liking the song? Are they secretly pleased when girl begged for him, with such vocals? I don't hate The Cardigans. But seriously, I wanna know why some guys like to hear the song. And they can't stop grinning whenever they heard it. What does it mean??

    General Comment:This is a pretty song but weak. Cuz the girl would rather live a lie than face the truth, no matter how painful it is. I can relate to her feelings though, and though there are times I am tempted to go back and live a lie... I know that's just no good.

    General Comment:He's broken up with her, and she's begging him not to. she's in denial, saying she doesn't care if he doesn't care for her anymore, if he doesn't love her, she just wants him, whether he cares or not. Definitely about being in denial and not being able to face up to a break up...

    General Comment:quiet possibly the raddest song ever. it is pure perfection in all its musicality-ness. my favorite song of all time. it is perfect for working out, driving, walking, and eating. if my life were a movie, this song would be played during the opening scene, the car chase, the romantic first kiss, and the credits.

    General Comment:I heard this song first while watching Romeo & Juliet (Leo & Claire 1996 Version). I loved it then and still do.
