Can't Buy Me Love
1964...The Tribute Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
Cause I don't care too much for money

For money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No, no, no, no

Say you don't need no diamond ring
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want those kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Cause money can't buy me love

Oh, can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love, no

Overall Meaning

The song Can't Buy Me Love by The Beatles is a classic tune that speaks to the idea that money cannot buy happiness or true love. The song starts with the main chant "Can't buy me love, love" which is repeated throughout the song to emphasize the message that no amount of wealth can purchase genuine, authentic love. The lyrics speak of the idea of buying gifts, such as a diamond ring, for someone you love, but the reality is that such material possessions cannot replace the feeling of true love. The focus of the song is on the value of human connection, rather than on the superficiality of wealth and its objects.

The song is notable for its catchy melodies and its upbeat tempo, which is a hallmark of early Beatles music. The harmonies and structure of the song accentuate the main message of the lyrics, creating an overall feeling of lightness and optimism. The use of call and response between the band members creates a sense of unity and playfulness, invoking a feeling of joy and celebration.
