The song "What You Did To Me Last Night" by Joe Cocker tells a story of a person waking up feeling incredibly happy and content after a memorable night with their lover. The lyrics indicate that the person had such a satisfying experience that they didn't even bother washing their face in the morning. As they look in the mirror, they see a metaphorical halo around their head, symbolizing the bliss and joy they feel. However, they understand that this overwhelming happiness must be a dream and decide to go back to bed. The chorus repeats the phrase "All because of what you did to me last night," emphasizing that the feelings of happiness and satisfaction are solely a result of their lover's actions and presence. It implies that the lover has had a significant impact on their life and has brought immense pleasure and fulfillment. The lyrics also mention the lover finding and saving the person's soul, suggesting that before meeting the lover, they felt incomplete or lost. This newfound connection filled a void within them. The song describes the impact of the lover on both the person's physical and mental state. They express that their mind has been bruised by the lover, indicating that the intensity of their experiences has had a profound effect on their thoughts and emotions. The line "I feel like a thousand..." is incomplete, potentially implying that no words can capture the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing. The bridge of the song highlights the unique qualities and actions of the lover. The lyrics express gratitude for saving their love, emphasizing that there is no other person who can fulfill them in the same way. The lover is described as bringing sweetness to their life even when they feel salty, and making them "fanky" (likely meaning funky or groovy) when all they desire is the lover's company. Overall, "What You Did To Me Last Night" is a passionate and grateful ode to a lover who has brought immense happiness, fulfillment, and transformation into the protagonist's life.
