Sting - loving you

노래의 화자는 연인에게서 느끼는 배신과 질투로 인해 깊은 고통을 겪고 있으며, 그 아픔에도 불구하고 진정한 사랑이 무엇인지에 대한 고민을 한다
결혼의 맹세에도 불구하고 사랑하는 사람이 다른 사람과 있는 모습을 상상하게 되고, 그로 인해 괴로움을 endured 한다
결국, 사랑의 정의를 묻는 심정을 담고 있다

You say that I don't listen
That I don't give you no respect
You took your love to some other place
Now, what did you expect?
We made vows inside the church
To forgive each other's sins
But there are things I have to endure
Like the smell of another man's skin
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
You say you wanted children
And you would grow into a mother
But in my mind's eye, I would see you
In the arms of another
I am given to jealousy
I've been given to violence
But I could never raise a hand in my defence
So I suffer here in silence
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
If that's not loving you, I don't know what is (I don't know what)
If that's not loving you, then tell me what it is
