LOVE LOVE LOVE
Aaron Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said he was just an old acquaintance that you knew a long time ago
I could tell when he held you in his arms, you seemed spellbound by his charms
No need to try, you can't deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love
L O V E, L O V E, L O V E was all I saw, it was love, love, love, love
And I used to call you on the telephone
And I thought, I thought it very funny why you were never home
And I used to believe that I could trust you
But I find that you untrue

Lately, lately I find that I'm all by myself
Thinking you love me, when it's someone else
Hats off, hats off to you and your new lover
'cause for me, 'cause for me there will be no other
Girl, to take your place, with tears on my face
Farewell to you, may God bless and keep you

Please dear Lord keep her safe for me




Farewell, farewell my darlin', my darlin', my darlin
Whoa I need you, I need you, I need you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aaron Neville’s Love Love Love delve into the heartbreak of a man discovering that his lover has been unfaithful. He confronts her about a man she was with, initially believing he was just an acquaintance from her past. However, as he sees the way she looks at him, he realizes that there is more to their relationship than she is letting on. He spells it out for her, “No need to try, you can’t deny, that look in your eyes spelled love, love, love, love”. He thought he could trust her, but her actions prove otherwise.


The second verse is a brutal realization that the love he thought was mutual was not. He describes being alone and realizing that she was with someone else. He mourns the end of the relationship, and acknowledges that while it hurts, he wishes her and her new lover happiness. The bridge finds him saying farewell, but not without begging God to keep her safe. The final repetition of “I need you” appears to be a plea for her back, despite the betrayal.


In summary, the lyrics of Love Love Love explore the pain and confusion that come with discovering a partner’s infidelity. It portrays a man grappling with his emotions and ultimately resigning himself to the end of the relationship.
