This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I listen for your footsteps
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Waiting for your knock, dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it,
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
I hear the clock a'ticking
On the mantel shelf
See the hands a'moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry
I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said that you would be late
About an hour or two
I said, "That's alright, I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you"
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry
Coming up the drive
Listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Waiting for your knock, dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it,
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
I hear the clock a'ticking
On the mantel shelf
See the hands a'moving
But I'm by myself
I wonder where you are tonight
And why I'm by myself
I don't see you
Does it mean you don't love me anymore?
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry
I'm sorry that I doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
You said that you would be late
About an hour or two
I said, "That's alright, I'm waiting here
Just waiting to hear from you"
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue
'Cause you know darling, I love only you
You'll never know it hurt me so
I hate to see you go
Don't pass me by, don't make me cry

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
This song could have a 'secret' meaning referring to paul's accident and supposed death. it says "You were in a car crash and you lost your hair" and paul's hair got burnt off... could refer to that, also there are some other things but i cant tell about them, i dont know the rest's facts very well.
i love this song my friend ray whom i love sings this song to me all the time and he is going bald its great
Surely this is the best comment ever posted here on SongMeanings?! Kudos to you, PennyLane1232, wherever you might be!
I LOVE RINGO
all you guys need to shut the fuck up. seriously, fucken crybabies. The people in here that actually discuss the meaning of this song and what it means to them, I dont mind. But all the other no life losers, get lost.
Now, what this song means to me. I get the feel that ringo has a girlfriend and pretty much she isnt coming around anymore. He's simply asking "Does it mean you dont love me anymore?" Then the chorus explains why he dosnt want her to leave.
great song overall. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a boring ass song. I love george's song writing and all, but that is just a boring song that pretty much goes nowhere. This is very good and catchy song. Much better than most of the songs on the white album. But they're also much better songs on the white album than this one.
This is all a matter of opinion, not fact. So don't waste your time trying to talk shit on my opinions.
Paul's apparent death in a car crash was the secret in all the lyrics, album covers, playback phrases in many of the songs . The following Movie/ Documentary ... Paul McCartney Really Is Dead: The Last Testament Of George Harrison explains the Folk Legend of McCarney's death. It can be found on faulmccartney.com/# or vimeo.com/28273681
This was the first track that Ringo Starr wrote for The Beatles, although the fact that he was considering writing this for the purposes of the title are quashed given that he had been toying with a song with this title for longer than he had been considering writing his debut Beatles' track.
paul doesnt live hes is infact dead and very much so but anywho this is by far the best starky song ever he wasnt a great singer/ songwriter but he sure can whale on the drums so yea paul was decapatated buddy and if you have anymore questions about the beatles be happy to im me on aim hawkisgay56238
I find it very cute that you are so convinced that Paul died and Ringo wrote this about him. (Did you do a little too much tripping back in the day, mate?) I've watched all of the Paul is dead documentaries and read so many articles about it, because it fascinates me that people would actually believe this to be true. It is conceivable that he could have died in a car crash like it was reported. It's also possible that he could have been replaced by the guy who won the Paul McCartney look alike contest the year before his supposed death. But it's implausible to think that they could have found someone with the same degree of talent that Paul had and also look almost identical to him. The entire thing is very interesting, but it's very much a fantasy. It's not reality.<br /> <br /> What I find really amusing, though, is the fact that all the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theorists don't realize that The Beatles weren't giving off signs in their songs, album covers, etc..., that Paul was dead. I think they found it absolutely maddening (in jest) that people would go to such lengths to align everything they said or did to them sending signals to their audience that Paul was actually.<br /> <br /> The Beatles were all known for being merry pranksters. I think they did feed into the entire conspiracy theory in a joking manner for their own enjoyment, just to see how far people would take it. They were quite clever and cheeky like that. The mere fact that it's still being talked about over forty years later shows just how brilliant they really were.
This is one of my favourite songs from the White Album. It doesnt exactly stand head and shoulders with songs like Happiness is a Warm Gun, Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps etc, but its still a really solid song. If any band but the Beatles made this itd be their career definer :-p
this song brings me back. one of my first memories is dancing around to it at my 3rd bday party. it sounded really good all loud and everything. :)
I think Grobus hit the nail on the head. This is such an underrated song because it's by the Beatles, and they set the standard so high that some of their songs don't get the attention due them.
