Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)

There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

There's nothing you can make that can't me made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)
(Love, love, love)

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love, all together now
All you need is love, everybody
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love is all you need




Love is all you need
Love is all you need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "All You Need Is Love" by Jim Sturgess are a testament to the transformative and healing power of love. The song is a cover of the Beatles classic, originally written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The song conveys a simple message that is universal and timeless: love is the answer to all of life's problems. The tune opens with a repeated chorus of "love, love, love" which sets the tone for the rest of the song.


The first verse and chorus of the song assert that there's nothing you can't do, say, or make with love. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace the game of life and all of its challenges with an open heart and mind. The second verse encourages listeners to be themselves and embrace their unique individuality, which can be done over time with love. The rest of the song is an emphatic repetition of the title, "All you need is love," which serves to hammer home the message of the song. The chorus is repeated several times, with the last chorus being joined by a call and response of "all together now" and "everybody."


The song's core message is that love is the answer to all of life's challenges. It encourages listeners to embrace love in all its forms and to approach life with a sense of openness, compassion, and acceptance. It's easy to see why it's been one of the most enduring and beloved songs of all time.

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than
the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that
stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that
stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

(We're going home
Better believe it)

@kylewhytonen

It’s a great property to turn into a musical, however, The Beatles songs are very expensive to get the rights to, even as “cover” songs in the musical.

@FreshZCORD

all u need is love

@CupCrazySTL

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen!! They definitely need to make a Broadway musical out of it!!! Amazing Cast!

@Herimini

My favorite moment in the whole movie is when Joe sings "She loves you" in the background of this song<3

@SobeBottle1000
