I Love You Love
John Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll dry your eyes, fulfill your heart's desire
Let's go in, try again
Careful this time, broken promises linger in our mind
I'll give in completely, hearts break so easy
I know. Believe me, oh, I've tried
But my arms can hold you, my kiss console you
I'll come and love you tonight
And I
I love, I love, I love
Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right
You
You love, you love, you love
Though you've been burned
You still return
Come and share my house, my home, and all I own.
I'd love to give to you
Aren't you tired of going along this lonely road?
It takes its toll on you
Give me your emotion, your heart's devotion
Give anything you like
And I'll give understanding, life's so demanding
I'm all you need to get by
And I
I love, I love, I love
Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right
You
You love, you love, you love
Though you've been burned
You still return
I love, I love, I love
Love hurts sometimes
But this feels right
And you
You love you love you love
Though you've been burned
You still return
Still return
Still return to love (oh)
Keep coming back to love (ah oh)
The lyrics to John Legend's "I Love, You Love" speak about the complexities of love, acknowledging that it can hurt but ultimately feeling right. The song is a plea to a lover to give love a chance once again, to get over past broken promises and hurts and start anew. The use of a lullaby tone at the beginning with the lyrics "Hush, my baby, don't you cry, I'll dry your eyes, fulfill your heart's desire" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics then go on to discuss the singer's willingness to give love another chance, knowing that heartbreak comes easy but believing that their love is worth it.
The line "Give me your emotion, your heart's devotion" shows that the singer is ready to commit and wants to be with their lover in every possible way. They offer understanding as well, knowing that life can be demanding and that their lover needs someone to depend on. The repetition of "I love, I love, I love" and "You love, you love, you love" creates a sense of commitment from both sides, a mutual understanding that love is worth it even though it can be hard.
Overall, the song is a hopeful message about the power of love to overcome pain and hurt, and the beauty in returning to it despite the obstacles that may come along the way.
