About the song
## Love Me Two Times: A Timeless Anthem of Love and Loss
**The Doors’** iconic track, “Love Me Two Times,” is a haunting ballad that delves into the complexities of love, loss, and the passage of time. Released in 1967, this song quickly became a staple of their repertoire and a beloved classic for generations to come.
The song’s introspective lyrics, coupled with Jim Morrison’s captivating vocals and the band’s signature psychedelic rock sound, create a powerful and evocative atmosphere. The title itself, “Love Me Two Times,” is a poignant plea for a second chance, a desperate desire to relive a past love.
Morrison’s poetic lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship on the brink of collapse. He sings of “the crystal night” and “the velvet morning,” contrasting the fleeting beauty of love with the harsh realities of life. The image of a “broken heart” is a recurring theme throughout the song, emphasizing the pain and anguish that accompany loss.
The song’s musical arrangement is equally compelling. The driving rhythm section, featuring John Densmore’s intricate drumming and Ray Manzarek’s distinctive keyboard work, provides a solid foundation for Morrison’s vocals. Robbie Krieger’s guitar playing adds a touch of bluesy melancholy, further enhancing the song’s emotional impact.
“Love Me Two Times” is a testament to The Doors’ ability to capture the essence of human emotion through their music. It’s a song that resonates with listeners of all ages, touching upon universal themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. Whether you’re a longtime fan of The Doors or discovering their music for the first time, this timeless classic is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Lyrics
Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times girl
I’m goin’ away
Love me two times girl
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
Love me one time
Could not speak
Love me one time
Yeah, my knees got weak
Love me two times girl
Last me
All through the week
Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
Oh yeah
Love me one time
Could not speak
Love me one time, baby
Yeah, my knees got weak
Love me two times girl
Last me
All through the week
Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
Love me two times baby
Love me twice today
Love me two times baby
‘Cause I’m goin’ away
Love me two times girl
One for tomorrow, one just for today
Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
Love me two times
I’m goin’ away
Love me two times I’m goin’ away
