Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And baby I want you
You give me something I need
Now tell me I got something for you
Come on come on come on and do it
Come on and do what you do
I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
Well it's late and I want love
Love that's gonna break me in two
Don't hang me up in your doorway
Don't hang me up like you do
Come on come on come on and do it
Come on and do what you do
I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
The lyrics in Bad Company's song "Can't Get Enough" are about the singer's insatiable desire for love and attention.

The singer has his sights set on a particular person and is willing to do whatever it takes to get their attention.
The chorus includes the repeated line, "I can't get enough of your love," which emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings. He is consumed by his desire for this person and can't seem to get enough of their affection.
In the second verse, the lyrics take on a more desperate tone. The singer indicates that it's late and he wants love – the kind that will "break [him] in two." This suggests that the singer is looking for a deep, intense connection with this person, perhaps one that will even be a bit painful.
The final line, "Don't hang me up like you do," implies that the singer has been rejected or ignored by this person in the past, and he's hoping that this time will be different. Overall, the lyrics convey a strong desire for love and a willingness to pursue it no matter what.

@@bad396bad I know, right?? This song started my 'high' school day for like 6 months!
@RG-ja34sep
Easily one of the greatest rock numbers of all time.
Everything is perfect, the classical and unique voice of Paul Rodgers, the incredible tone and raunchy guitar riffs of Mick Ralphs, Boz Burrell’s exquisite bass guitar, and Simon Kirke’s no nonsense and powerful drumming. The overall sound is just pure heaven, butt kicking and hypnotising!! ROCK ON!
