What In The World's Come Over You

The speaker is distressed because a relationship has changed and the two people no longer seem to get along. He misses his former partner and wonders whether she might change her mind. His feelings move from confusion and loneliness to a continuing hope of reunion, ending with a strong declaration that he still loves her.

“Reminisce” means to remember past experiences, and here the speaker recalls “tender kisses,” suggesting affectionate moments he longs for again. Being “alone in my room each night” makes his loneliness feel private and repetitive. The phrase “my heart cries” is not literal: it describes intense emotional pain, while “it’s just not right” expresses his sense that the separation feels unfair or wrong.

His promise to keep “waiting” may show devotion, but it also suggests he has not accepted that the relationship could be over. Calling the woman “my angel from above” idealizes her, and “my one and only” presents her as uniquely important to him. The lyrics do not explain why they stopped getting along or whether she wants to return, so his confidence that she is his “real love” may be sincere hope rather than a shared understanding.
