The song "Squeezin' The Love Outta You" by Carolyn Dawn Johnson is about a relationship where one person is not putting in enough effort and the other is tired of trying to make it work. The lyrics express frustration and disappointment with the lack of love and attention, and the chorus repeatedly states the decision to stop trying to "squeeze" love out of the other person. The song's extended metaphors compare getting love from the unresponsive partner to getting water from a desert dune or toothpaste from an empty tube. The narrator has waited a long time for the other person to show love and affection, but the relationship has not progressed. The lyrics imply that the narrator has put in a lot of effort, but it has not been reciprocated. Overall, "Squeezin' The Love Outta You" is a breakup song that speaks to the struggles of feeling like you're the only one putting effort into a relationship and the need to move on when it's not working.
