Done Love Wrong

Cee Cee James' song 'Done Love Wrong' is a poignant exploration of regret and the consequences of infidelity. The lyrics are a raw confession of past mistakes, where the narrator acknowledges the pain caused by their actions. The repeated refrain 'I done love wrong' serves as a haunting reminder of the betrayal and the emotional toll it has taken on both the narrator and their partner. This repetition emphasizes the depth of the regret and the inescapable nature of the guilt that follows such actions.

The song delves into the narrator's youthful ignorance and the excuses made to justify their behavior. Lines like 'How young I was, How I really didn’t know' and 'I made excuses for my foolin’' highlight a lack of maturity and understanding of the true value of love. The narrator admits to using their partner for pride and hunger, revealing a selfishness that ultimately led to heartbreak. The metaphor of 'luring' and 'teasing' suggests a manipulative aspect to the relationship, where the narrator played with emotions without fully grasping the consequences.

Cee Cee James' soulful delivery adds an extra layer of emotion to the lyrics, making the listener feel the weight of the narrator's remorse. The imagery of 'guilt drippin’ like sweat' and 'the moon burnin’ through your heart' vividly captures the torment of living with regret. The song serves as a cautionary tale about taking love for granted and the irreversible damage that can result from selfish actions. It’s a powerful reminder that some mistakes leave scars that time cannot heal, and the pain of a broken heart is a heavy burden to bear.
