The song "You Showed Me Somethin' About Lovin'" by Waylon Jennings talks about the transformative power of love. The narrator reflects on his past experiences with women, describing a life filled with temporary pleasures and casual encounters. He admits to treating women as mere objects to satisfy his desires, comparing them to bottles of gin that he used to get intoxicated. However, everything changed when he met the woman he is currently in love with. She showed him a different side of love that he had never experienced before. She taught him about the true meaning of love and opened his eyes to its joys and laughter. She showed him a love so profound that even the richest treasures of the world pale in comparison. Before meeting this woman, the narrator lived a reckless and detached life. He would wake up in the mornings with no recollection of the previous night and the people he was with. But now, he wakes up next to his partner and cherishes the tenderness and affection she offers him. Her touch brings him comfort and a sense of grounding. The song emphasizes that love has the power to completely change a person's perspective and transform their life. The narrator acknowledges that he was lost until he found genuine love, and now he values and appreciates his partner more than anything else.
