The Everly Brothers' song "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby" is a blues-influenced rock and roll track that was released in 1964. The lyrics express the strong feelings of love and devotion that the singer has for someone, even though that person doesn't even know their name. The song begins by emphasizing the love the singer feels, questioning if that love is enough when the person they love doesn't even know who they are. Despite this, the singer declares that they would go to extreme lengths, such as robbing, stealing, or even killing, just to be able to return home to the person they love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Ain't that lovin' you baby" as a rhetorical question, highlighting the depth of affection and devotion the singer feels. It further emphasizes the frustration and heartache of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate the feelings or even acknowledge the singer's existence. The bridge of the song introduces a more ominous tone. The singer acknowledges that others may try to harm them, possibly even leading to their death, but they remain determined to rise above it all and return home to their loved one. Overall, "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby" explores the theme of unrequited love and the lengths one may go to for the person they care about. It conveys the pain, devotion, and longing that can come from loving someone who is unaware or indifferent to the singer's emotions.
