Unconditional Love
Bangles Feat. Susanna Hoffs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to fall into you
And I want to be everything you want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
I lose faith and I lose ground.

When I see you I remember, oh
Unconditional love
(love, love, love).

It doesn't matter what I say
'cause it always seems you're taking me the wrong way
But if you could read my mind
You'd see, I fight myself all the time.

When I see you I surrender, oh
Unconditional love
(love) love (love) oh-woe (love)
(love) love (love) oh-oh (love).

Standing on a wilder shore
I got my head up in the clouds
Oh, I ain't got no sense of direction now.

I want to lie next to you
And I want to do everything you want me to
But I'm not sure I know how
Put your arms around me now.

When I feel you I surrender, oh
Unconditional love
(love, love, love)
Oh (love, love, love).

Put your arms around me now
'cause when I feel you I surrender
Unconditional love
(love) unconditioned love, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo (love).

When I see you I remember
Unconditional love
(love) all you need is (love) what the world needs (love)
Now the word is love (love) love (love) hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo (love).





Ahaa, ahhaaa, haa.

Overall Meaning

The song "Unconditional Love" by Bangles feat. Susanna Hoffs is about the desire to completely surrender oneself to someone and offer them everything they want, but feeling hesitant due to the fear of not knowing how to do so. The singer's insecurities and self-doubt make it difficult to communicate effectively with their partner, and they feel like they're constantly being misunderstood. The chorus serves as a reminder of the pure, selfless nature of love that transcends any misunderstandings or doubts - unconditional love. The lyrics speak to the struggle of opening yourself up to someone completely and the many roadblocks and doubts that come with it.


The verse "Standing on a wilder shore, I got my head up in the clouds, Oh, I ain't got no sense of direction now" could suggest that the singer is in the midst of a transition - they're standing on the shore of change and are unsure of where they're headed. This feeling of being lost is not limited only to the relationship but also a feeling of uncertainty about their life generally. However, it seems through the lyrics that they know deep down that unconditional love is the key to feeling grounded in their life and relationships.
