The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Keep You" by the artist "Wild Belle"

In Wild Belle's song "Keep You", the lyrical heroine sings about a painful yet addictive relationship. The recurring phrase "Same song, again and again" emphasizes the cyclical nature of the situation: she knows her partner will hurt her ("You hurt me for the very first time, but I still come back"), yet she keeps returning.

The heroine doesn't understand why she can't keep her lover. She is attractive ("I got a pretty face and I wear a pretty dress") and genuine in her feelings ("I give you honey and I give you truth"). At the same time, she witnesses how he treats other women – rudely, inconsistently, irresponsibly. He makes them "cry, cry", "runs around town", and spends time with different girls.

The image of "calling after Nancy but before Rachel" vividly illustrates his frivolousness and fickleness. The heroine feels like one of many, just another "new girl" he will soon treat the same way.

Despite all this, she can't break free from the vicious circle. The question "Why can't I keep you?" sounds like a cry of despair and a plea for help. She recognizes the destructiveness of the situation, but she can't find the strength to end the relationship.

Same song, again and again

You wrong me twice and I keep coming back

Same song, again and again

You wrong me twice and I keep coming back

Tell me what the matter is, little man

I've got a pretty face and I wear a nice dress

Tell me what the matter is, little man

I've got a pretty face and I wear a nice dress

Why can't I keep you?

Keep you

Why can't I keep you?

Keep you

Every minute that I spend on you

I give you honey and I give you truth

All the other women they get treat so rude

Cry, cry, cause you make them blue

Running over town like you got no nerve

Sleeping in the shanty of a brand new girl

Call me after Nancy, but before Rachel

Why can't I keep you for myself?

Why can't I keep you?

Keep you

Same song, again and again

You wrong me twice and I keep coming back

Why can't I keep you?
