"...make me lie when I don't want to..." "...why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by..." Human relationships are so complicated, so deeply felt that sometimes it's hard to put it exactly in words how we actually feel. Joan Armatrading, like all the best artists, make it easier for us to articulate the true feelings, the truth behind the words, behind the actions we might unconsciously do, for love. For bloody, unforgettable, thrilling LOVE!!
PeliculaCinema she reveals that she wouldn't stand seeing the xdude live, a phone call could have saved her, she would have to lie that she loves him, knowing there is someone elz in her heart!
yes, power words, when they hit emotions, situations?- Profoundly & sometimes so eloquently put & simple. Love that. You do a beautiful job articulating just gotta say & compliment
Sometimes a song comes along at just the right point in your life and seems to speak from your very soul not merely to it. This is one of those songs, even though the lyrics don't fit for me the expression, the melody and orchestration completely lay me bare.
Sorry about you.i hope you be happy right now,talking about this song is a wonderful song very emotional,nobody can love two persons at the same time,one of them is not its love,ITS A LIER. SALUDOS DE SINALOA
This is a sad song. But very heartfelt. I have never been in this love triangle situation per se, but I have been unkind to important people in my life when I was young. Be kind. Show love to those you love and hold onto them as long as you possibly can. Don't be thin skinned and don't overreact. Hurt feelings may last a little while but regrets can last a lifetime.
I really love this song. Trying to be with someone new when the old is not good for you but you just can't seem to break free from him. The old has got some kind of hold on you
Laura Sparkman that's not the theme here. This is about being promiscuous and actually wanting to be with two people at the same time. they both hurt yet both feel good so she's stuck in the middle.....
Laura Sparkman i do understand what you mean girl. i think and feel that the song is about that. you dont "bound" to one night stand.. people who sleep around dont understand the feeling of loving inconditionally.
So, you also decided to lie and cheat? Because that's what this song is about. A coward who doesn't have the integrity to be honest, and just make somebody else a fool. Somebody who loves and trusts. That's a nice human quality, f*** everybody over who loves you, for your own weakness. Good luck with that.
MESBAH RUBEL omg 😲 I'm watching that movie rn.. and paused it to google it to look at the cast.. I looked at everyone's page and I didn't even realize that he was dead 😭 I saw your comment and went straight back to google 😢 I can't finish the movie in peace now 😭😭
and i was working got notification of your comment, straight here to replay...yes it is sad he died too early without any major incident...omg its almost more than a year i watched this movie....keep watching.. you would love the ending...you wont see this kind of movies these days.....Big hug Ashley!!!njoyyyyyyyyy
Vodka. It made my recent divorce happen. But I know we still love each other. Ive been sober now going on 2 1/2 years. Ive worked and fixed the bad pete and make sure he never returns. I'm a better happier person now. But I am sad and yet still full of love for her. I know she still does love me. But she has put a wall around her heart. Yet we still communicate with each other. I love her so, so , so ( and the so's could be infinite) much. Maybe one day in the future we can be together again. . . I love you Yanet and I'm sorry for what happened. But its situations like that that is the test of what true love really means. If true love really exists. It does for me with her. With God's grace and gift maybe one day. I love you Yennie. And Gethin, hold on. Life's situation whether bad or good shape us into bringing us back stronger. Hold on my friend. Believe and dont put walls around your heart. Let your heart show to the world. Thats what God has always wanted from us.
I didn't realize that many younger people know this song. I knew it from the early part of her career. I don't know those movies but I hope it didn't get disrespected.
this song doesn't even fit with that movie scene though. clearly this song is about someone having affair and is torn between their relationship, and the side chick/dude.
3 years later i come and hear this song with a different feeling I've been in a relation for 11 years with my woman and i love her so much it hurts but another person passed by and i fucked up and made me fall i cut that thing off with her before it became physical cause neither my partner nor the other woman would accept a shared/open relationship i had to choose and its so tough and weird i would've never thought I'd be put in this position but sometimes things happen, anyways i am again watching the L word and this song hit hard this time. Don't know why i felt like sharing.
such a amazing voice, i Dare the World to find a better ...... As do i Bill Withers's "A'int no sunshine". some things can only be done of feeling and 0 taught talent. It is almost enough for even i to believe in fate.
I never heard the words or really understood them until today... I was watching the movie 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, and read the lyrics. I was like "wow. I have felt that." BUT the song doesn't go to the movie.
My analysis of the lyrics based on the attachement style and neediness: The first line shows as the lyricist does not fall in and out of love fast, the lyricist is not anxious and has a type, gives heart to only specific people. And alas there is one person whom the heart is given and the affection is given right from the start, meaning to other person that affection was not given easily- showing the person had difficulty in expressing love. It's good to have a lover, but if it's for the right things, the heart must be broken- the lyricist here hesitates to say things which will break the heart- signaling that the lyricist's emotional state is hugely dependent on what the partner thinks and feels, which the lyricist makes to feel. And despite this the person grabs the lyricist's attention. The lyricist's emotional state is, once again, hugely dependent on the other person- hence justifies 'the name of the song'. Making one lie when one does not want to is serious violation of the boundary of the person and not listening and trusting to the instinct, signaling disconnection from the self and mostly the inability to say 'NO'. Though it feels to fantacise about someone and crave for that 'One', it's hugely problematic when we start to say the action was not because of self, but because of someone else. Feeling guilty and worried is not the sign of authentic connection and love. The lyricist says on the one hand, the present love is new, however refers to old love, showing the lyricist is still not over the old love. On a positive note, and lastly, I really loved the tune, both at the start and at the middle; it really subsides in the mind and plays over.
My lady Jones should be known for her Talent not 10 Things I Hate About You It's a Wonderful song and she tears it up. People need to recognize hurt more
For me, this is one the best thought provoking tracks. It has given me some understanding of what a previous girlfriend must have felt loving two people at the same time. Powerful and real. What other “thought provoking “ tacks can people recommend?
@denalaurens A statement like that needs a qualifiyer, like "In my (your) opinion" or IMO, because that is exactly what it is and ALL it is. In MY opinion, Etheridge's version isn't bad, but can't hold a candle to the original. All music is subjective and anyone who doesn't realize that is extremely narrowminded.
Hmmm I do know this song was used in 10 things I hate about you, however for all of us who are in relationships, yet there is an underlying force when there is such attraction for somebody else, however there is a line I cannot cross.
Feeling guilty, And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep 'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound, But this new love cuts so deep. If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out; One of you is gonna have to fall... I need you, my angel
10 things I hate about you brought me here such a wonderful song
Same, I watched it yesterday
"...make me lie when I don't want to..."
"...why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by..."

One of the most beautiful songs... ever!
Love this song❤️
Of course
Beautiful and so sad ... unrequited love.

💖💖💖
Don't they just
Yes so true . Not the lyrics ( some or most of them ! ) but everything else certainly - the melody etcetera .
Beautifully said❤️🙏🏻
❤️true
Feeling sorry for all those to whom this song speaks to, it is an unimaginable pain.
It is. No matter what you decide, you still bleed and so do they.
Sad for a cheating woman
Absolutely painful
Nobody going to talk about that bass? Perfection.
Another magic but rare timeless classic. So underrated unfortunately. Beautiful song truly.
It was very popular in the 80s, played at most radio stations
Such a beautiful song. You can hear the torment in her voice.
and the passion and love
This was one of my ex-husband's favorite songs. That should've been a huge red flag, but I was too blind in love to see it until the end.
I love this song. But that doesn't mean that I am a huge red flag doesn't it?
I wanna no more please
Sorry about you.i hope you be happy right now,talking about this song is a wonderful song very emotional,nobody can love two persons at the same time,one of them is not its love,ITS A LIER. SALUDOS DE SINALOA
@@ernestobueno9159 brilliant amigo. Texas te esta saludondo. Hope everything is good in Mexico. 🤙
@@ernestobueno9159 Very true!
national treasure. real voice. never a false note. nothing false. sheer poetic beauty. she is top shelf. joan. woo.
Makes me want to cry everytime I listen to this song because i still miss my ex and love him despite our problems
I love Joan, she's an artist of high principles who lives with integrity, so underrated. Beautiful voice.
She sang this perfectly in concert.
I'm so happy this song has continued to resonate with people many decades later. Joan's new album, Consequences, is yet another stunner.
I brought myself here. Young people still listen to good music.
This is a sad song. But very heartfelt. I have never been in this love triangle situation per se, but I have been unkind to important people in my life when I was young. Be kind. Show love to those you love and hold onto them as long as you possibly can. Don't be thin skinned and don't overreact. Hurt feelings may last a little while but regrets can last a lifetime.
Surely one of the best songs ever written, THANK YOU Joan
one of the most beautiful songs ever :-) I love it
Been cheated on and this made me cry 💔
It was 1983 when this LP came out and the first time I heard this song, I knew immediately that it was a classic. And it is!
Such pain in her voice, makes me want to cry. Very talented lady❤
It’s a shame some people don’t know this is the original version.
I love this.. Makes me reflect on my life.. Sometimes shed a tear or two
I really love this song. Trying to be with someone new when the old is not good for you but you just can't seem to break free from him. The old has got some kind of hold on you

Laura Sparkman i do understand what you mean girl. i think and feel that the song is about that. you dont "bound" to one night stand.. people who sleep around dont understand the feeling of loving inconditionally.
She send me this song.Iam going too back away.I love her she knows, I only want what's best for her.
This song utterly blows me away and the words are so real, bless Joan Armatrading xxx
A beautiful song and to be in such a troubled situation? it does get very difficult
Found myself in a situation a few years ago, "The new love cut deep" I followed my heart and 2 years later I have no regrets.
Who did you choose?
@@everyloss "The new love cut deep" = the new love. Do you agree?
@@patriciafranco2309 mm yeah true. You’re right.
So, you also decided to lie and cheat? Because that's what this song is about. A coward who doesn't have the integrity to be honest, and just make somebody else a fool. Somebody who loves and trusts. That's a nice human quality, f*** everybody over who loves you, for your own weakness. Good luck with that.

Such a bittersweet song. Gorgeous.❤️

Woahhhh fave
this song doesn't even fit with that movie scene though. clearly this song is about someone having affair and is torn between their relationship, and the side chick/dude.
I think this song came out in 1981. Way ahead of its time. It sounds like a song from the 2000s

Gregory Grand
But without that film,this great tune wouldn't have reached as many ppl. Think about it
For me, this is one the best thought provoking tracks. It has given me some understanding of what a previous girlfriend must have felt loving two people at the same time. Powerful and real.
What other “thought provoking “ tacks can people recommend?
It's tough.. Loving your ex when you're trying to move on...

breaks my heart
but I *mean* to see you
and I *mean* to hold you
@denalaurens how in the world can anyone's version be the best, other than the original artist? Though I agree, Melissa did it justice.. GOOD EAR :P
Hmmm I do know this song was used in 10 things I hate about you, however for all of us who are in relationships, yet there is an underlying force when there is such attraction for somebody else, however there is a line I cannot cross.
So Iconic
Oh my heart
10 things that’s all.
im literally in this exact situation rn
Break up song extraordinaire
To me it sounds like a cheater in love with the person he cheated with..
2020💜
Because your weak, they walk.
Feeling guilty,
And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep
'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
But this new love cuts so deep.
If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;
One of you is gonna have to fall...
I need you, my angel
I love this song and 10 things I hate about you... Great song, great movie, and great poem... RIP Heath
