There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)

Billy Ocean

Sometimes I wonder by the look in your eyes
When I'm standing beside you
There's a fever burning deep inside
Is there another in your memory
Do you think of that someone
When you hear that special melody?
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song
Touch the very heart of me

There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you (I love you)

I often wonder how it could be
You loving me
Two hearts in perfect harmony
I'll count the hours until that day
A rhapsody plays a melody for you and me
Until the moment that you give your love to me
You're the one I care for
The one that I would wait for

There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you, oh (I love you)

There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you (I love you)

Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh

You're my desire, you take me higher
My love is like a river running so deep
I always stop and think of you especially
When the words of a love song (love song)
Touch the very heart of me

There'll be sad songs to make you cry
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you, oh, woah (I love you)
There'll be sad songs to make you cry-y-y (there'll be sad songs)
Love songs often do
They can touch the heart of someone new
Saying I love you (I love you)

Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, saying I love you
I love you

    The songwriter has fallen for a woman who may not yet be over her ex. The songwriter is trying to convey that he is willing to wait for her to be ready ("Until the moment that you give your love to me"). Until then, he has fantasies in his mind of how good their relationship could be. Another interpretation is that the songwriter has unrequited love for this woman who's a co-worker or a classmate. He doesn't know what she's thinking or feeling. In fact, there is no indication in any of the song lines that she interacts with or even knows the songwriter. He will be crying to "sad songs" if he doesn't even try!
