The chorus of the song, that is. There’s no object, so “you send me” what, or where? I was reminded of this question after listening to Belle and Sebastian’s You Don’t Send Me, which I suspect uses the phrase in the same manner I can’t quite parse. This is certainly a common expression I don’t know of, so please help me out.
An more or less outdated definition of “send” is to “delight” or “excite.”
See definition 10: delight, thrill.
It’s an expression that used to be much more common than it is now. “You send me” more or less means “you excite me, you make me happy,” etc. The next iteration of the chorus (“You thrill me”) pretty much explains it.
Thanks, ignorance fought once more.
Also see the Mamas & Papas song “Words of Love,” with the following lyrics: “If you love her, then you must send her somewhere she’s never been before” (In the emotional sense, they mean, not on an exotic vacation trip).
I always figured that in that case, they meant “send her” in a sexual sense. After all, the whole point of the song is that talking won’t get the job done!
