You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you
(solo)
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(chorus)
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you
(solo)
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(chorus)

He loves her so much and she is the only thing he wants, eventhough he knows that she doesn't love him the same way.
a very good song
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
(He thought she was the one to truly complete him SPOILER ALERT HE WAS WRONG)
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
(She doesn't really give a damn what he has to say to her)
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
(Okay, now think about this one...still thinking? Okay, now shes basically telling him "sorry, not tonight, I'm on my period" and still continues to bitch at him over nothing)
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
(Wait, now this bitch is cheating? You best be joking ******. Oh, and SPOILER ALERT he still puts up with it while not getting any)
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(Taking it a little to far my sexually deprived friend. What is this I don't even)
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you
(tl;dr no matter how much shit this girl gives this poor guy he still wants to be with her for god knows what reason)
Hope I didn't ruin that 80's classic for everyone.
"And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember"
But he still loves her and he's not going to let that change his feelings for her
"Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together"
And he's willing to work things out because he loves her ♥
"And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever"
♥If a guy said those words to me I would die!♥
I too think it is about knowing he was being cheated on, he had to move on, but he still loves her. It is about dealing with those feelings of letting her go, one of the hardest things to do.
Ironically I am in the same situation. I had to tell her I loved her, but that I never want to see her ever again. Probably the hardest thing I've ever done in all of my life. She has driven me crazy for over half of my life, and I am 27 today. So it's been a long time.
Ironically all of the good Journey hits are about the same thing. Love being lost.
May I just add that the chick in the video clip is stunning...
told her in a letter...it broke my heart. but yeah
so whenever i hear it makes me tingle as i remember
what could have been.
i dont think about her anymore, but whenever i hear that song
"I just wanna keep on loving you"
