Fair In Love
Anthony Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Having the same batch of luck that never amounts to much
Seems nothing ever matches up
I'm ready to let it all go for good
Wonder where does love go
How many love someone you know
Lonely never have fun
Love comes thru open doors
Be ready when she comes
Stepping in your life
'Cause all, all is fair in love
You gotta give it up
Can't just walk the line
Got your life all tied up in work and so should they
Only make time to get up go to work and home again
Seem the only one lonely is you
O love O love O love O love I'm waiting on you
Wonder where does love go
How many love someone you know
Lonely never have fun
And I'll be waiting with open arms
Love comes thru open doors
Be ready when she comes
Stepping in your life
'Cause all, all is fair in love
You gotta give it up
Can't just walk the line
Where do the lonely go
Whose gonna care for those
Love them care for them
Love comes thru open doors
Be ready when she comes
Stepping in your life
'Cause all, all is fair in love
You gotta give it up
Can't just walk the line

He questions where the lonely go and who will care for them, recognizing the value of loving and caring for someone.
This song is a reflection of the universal feeling of searching for love that many people experience, but it also highlights the importance of being open and ready to receive love when it comes knocking.
