Love Her Madly

[TheWallsScreamedPoetry]

Don't ya love her madly
Don't ya need her badly
Don't ya love her ways
Tell me what you say

Don't ya love her madly
Wanna be her daddy
Don't ya love her face
Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door
Like she did one thousand times before

Don't ya love her ways
Tell me what you say
Don't ya love her as she's walkin' out the door

All your love
All your love
All your love
All your love

All your love is gone
So sing a lonely song
Of a deep blue dream
Seven horses seem to be on the mark

Yeah, don't you love her
Don't you love her as she's walkin' out the door

All your love
All your love
All your love

Yeah, all your love is gone
So sing a lonely song
Of a deep blue dream
Seven horses seem to be on the mark

Well, don't ya love her madly
Don't ya love her madly
Don't ya love her madly

A simple enough Robby Krieger song which was a similar theme to his earlier hit single 'Hit Me' which became 'Touch Me' after Morrison refused to sing a song with that title.
Inspired by his relationship and eventual marraige in 1972 to Lynn Veres a former Morrison girlfriend who threatened to leave him on many occasions.
Hence 'Don't you love her as she's walkin' out the door'.

14 Reasons To Love John Densmore
Modern Drummer 2010

One of the wonderful things about Densmore's drumming is the distinctive way he feels the time.
On several Doors tracks like this one and 'LA Woman' he favours a pulse that isn't perfectly straight but rather has a little in between seesaw action to it.
And on this song the snare-hat-snare fill before the second 'all your love' section1.56 is among Densmore's cleverest and most delicious licks.
Did he prepare the figure beforehand or just bust it on the spot?

Robby Krieger, Doors guitarist:
This was about my girlfriend, and now my wife, Lynn. She had a bad temper, and when she'd get mad, she'd slam the door, and the house would shake.

Jac Holzman, Elektra Records head:
"Love Her Madly" was the clear AM radio hit. The band wanted "The Changeling," but I insisted. Jim once admitted to me that they never got the singles right.
