You Love I Lyrics
?efil ni yppah leef I od ,hu
?efil ni yppah leef I od ,hu
[Verse 1]
The end, I move back in
Before you know it, I cheated on him
Oh yeah, that's what happens when you don't try
You know I always thought about him
Even when the other boys sneak in
But infidelity would never even cross my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Wonderful, so wonderful
But, boy, don't get too comfortable
'Cause what we had's untouchable, I, I, I
I stood deaf, 'til I stood dead
Untied a knot in my wedding dress
He got down on one knee and he said
[Chorus 1: Melanie Martinez & Marilyn Monroe]
You love I
You love I
You love I
Do I? Do I?
Do I? Do I?
?efil ni yppah leef I od ,hu
?efil ni yppah leef I od ,hu (Do I? Do I?)
?efil ni yppah leef I od ,hu
?efil ni yppah leef I od ,hu (Do I? Do I?)
Uh oh, I move back out
He invited me into his fancy house
It's been so long we might as well try
Wonderful, so wonderful
You turned my heart into a puppet show
If you like me please let me know, I, ah ah
One day, the very first date
He walked on over and he asked my name
He could be the one to say
[Chorus 2]
You love I
You love I
You love I
Do I? Do I?
Do I? Do I?
I love you
I love you
I love you
I do, I do
I do, I do
[Outro]
I do, I do
I do, I do
Do I? Do I?
You love I
I do, I do
I do, I do
Do I? Do I?
About
“You Love I” is a song that Melanie Martinez wrote for her Cry Baby album, but the reason why it didn’t make it into the album is that Melanie couldn’t find a place to set the song in. The Cry Baby album is a story about a girl named CRYBABY, and “You Love I” did not follow with anything on the album.
The song tells the story of American actress Marilyn Monroe’s love life. She meets a man and falls in love with him, later on deciding to get married. However, before this can happen, Marilyn cheats on the man.
The theory that the song is about Monroe’s love life comes from the audio in the beginning, played backwards we can hear the voice of Marylin saying “Do I feel happy in life?”.
Also, the whole concept of the song follows this reversed theme, “You love I” meaning “I love you”. This also supports the theory that the lyrics read from end to beginning make a lot more sense, telling a story.
