Sting – It's Probably Me lyrics

Sting – It's Probably Me lyrics

If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself who'd watch for me
My only friend who could it be
I hate to say it
I hate to say it but it's probably me

When you belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set you free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say I should let you go your way
You'll only make me cry
If there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defence
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
If there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

This is my favourite song by Sting because the lyrics are quite subtle and personal even though he wrote them for an action movie. I' ve kept asking myself about the identity of the narratif , and now I think that " probably me" is oneself , in other words you can only count on yourself , which is quite sad in fact but also the truth .

I've always loved this song but today while listening to it, I read the words. It's obvious that he's talking about God. I thought, "I can't believe this rocker wrote a song about God." It's pretty cool, but I bet half of the people are like me and don't know the words. So I looked it up and found this site asking my opinion. I don't know why you would want somebody's opinion on a Sting song but I gave it. He believes in God and thinks about him enough to write this song. Good for him. God bless him! I love all of Sting's songs and love the way he kept himself famous, so young people can hear him and know what really good singing sounds like. There aren't hardly any around these days.

April 03, 2023. This is Holy Week among Christians, and as I reflect on the lyrics to "It's Probably Me", I find Matthew 25 filling my thoughts. We are the body of Christ in the world today, so the "me" could be anyone who reaches-out with love and caring to "the least of these."
