AMY
Pure Prairie League Lyrics

Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Well, now, Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see that I don't know if it's you or if it's me?
If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I, longer if I do, yeah, now

Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

I keep falling in and out of love with you
Falling in and out of love with you

Don't know what I'm gonna do
I keep falling in and out of love with you

The song “Amy” by Pure Prairie League follows the tale of a conflicted lover who is unsure of where he stands with the titular character. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been possessive over Amy, with the line “I never tried to make you think or let you see one thing for yourself” indicating that he may have been controlling in the relationship. However, now that Amy has moved on with someone else, the singer is left alone, questioning whether he made a mistake in letting her go.

The lyrics continue to go back and forth between the singer's desire to be with Amy and his uncertainty about whether they are truly meant to be together. He questions whether they are meant to be together or apart, and encourages her to consider the possibility of a future with him. The repeated line “I keep falling in and out of love with you” emphasizes the confusion and frustration the singer is experiencing.

Overall, “Amy” is a poignant exploration of the complexities of romantic relationships and the emotional turmoil involved in trying to understand one's own feelings and actions. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and emotional honesty that resonates with audiences across generations.

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never gave you the freedom to think for yourself, which led you to believe that I own you.

I never tried to make you think or let you see one thing for yourself
I controlled you, did not respect your individuality, and did not allow you to use your own judgment.

But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You have moved on, and I am left by myself.

You see, I thought that I might keep you for my own
I believed that you were mine to possess and control.

Amie, what you wanna do?
I am unsure about what you want to do regarding us.

I think I could stay with you
I am open to the possibility of being with you and staying by your side.

For a while, maybe longer if I do
I can stay with you for a short or long period of time, depending on how things turn out.

Don't you think the time is right for us to find
Do you not believe this is the perfect moment for us to explore the potential of our relationship?

All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time?
Perhaps the things we once believed were not appropriate for us may actually be suitable given time.

And can you see which way we should turn, together or alone?
Do you know if we should continue our relationship or go our separate ways?

I can never see what's right or what is wrong
I am unsure if it is correct or incorrect to be with you, and I cannot make this decision on my own.

Yeah, you take too long to see
You are taking too much time to figure things out, and I cannot wait forever.

Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way
It has finally come down to what you want and your desires have taken precedence.

And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
Your previous beliefs and opinions have become less distinct, less clear.

And can you see that I don't know if it's you or if it's me?
I am not able to understand if the issue is with you or with me.

If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see
If either of us is the problem, then we will undoubtedly come to realize this.

Won't you look at me and tell me
Please look at me and share your thoughts with me.

I keep falling in and out of love with you
My feelings towards you are not fixed; they fluctuate.

Falling in and out of love with you
My emotions towards you are in a constant state of change.

Don't know what I'm gonna do
I am unsure about what action to take because of these conflicting feelings.
