Lovestruck Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1]
I was nineteen, naive, smitten when you met me
Shot down daydream, I was in completely all for you
I'd have done it all for you
Early twenties, empty, broken when you left me
Shot down, lonely, lost all of my self-esteem
'Cause of you, it was all because of you

[Pre-Chorus]
But how can I turn it around and pick myself up off the ground
If every time I start moving on, you call me up and spin my head around?

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh) I'm going under
(Ooh-ooh) In getting over you
Somebody tell me what to do
For me to give you up
(Ooh-ooh) Don't wanna love ya
(Ooh-ooh) But I'm a sucker for you
Oh, God, I'm lovestruck, somеbody make it stop, I gotta give you up

[Verse 2]
Insane, can't win thе stupid game you're playing
Disappear for ninety days and text me when you're drinking
And all I do is think of you
I see your face down on every street
Your love is a ghost and it's chasing me
Somebody, please, make it stop, 'cause I've gotta give you up
[Pre-Chorus]
But how can I turn it around and pick myself up off the ground
If every time I start moving on, you call me up and spin my head around?

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh) I'm going under
(Ooh-ooh) In getting over you
Somebody tell me what to do
For me to give you up
(Ooh-ooh) Don't wanna love ya
(Ooh-ooh) But I'm a sucker for you
Oh, God, I'm lovestruck, somebody make it stop, I gotta give you up

[Bridge]
I see your face down on every street
Your love is a ghost and it's chasing me
Somebody, please, make it stop, 'cause I've gotta give you up
Late-night train on the underground
I swear I heard your name, but you're never around
Somebody, please, make it stop, 'cause I've gotta give you up

[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh) I'm going under
(Ooh-ooh) In getting over you
Somebody tell me what to do
For me to give you up
(Ooh-ooh) Don't wanna love ya
(Ooh-ooh) But I'm a sucker for you
Oh, God, I'm lovestruck, somebody make it stop, I gotta give you up

Genius Annotation

“Lovestruck” tells the story of a now split relationship. The track has Dylan fall for a boy, when she is just 19, which could have happened in sync with her previous track “Nineteen,” however this love interest plays her and leaves her upset.

Dylan explains her sadness about this, but also displays lyrically the fact that she is absolutely gutted this boy broke up with her, and wonders what’s wrong with her as she still likes him, even through what he did to her.
The song wasn’t intended to be a pop-rock song, it was actually supposed to be a new version of “Highway To Hell,” but Dylan said she cannot write a “proper rock song”.
