It's Only Love
Beatlejazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you sigh my inside just flies, (butterflies).
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you.
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do.
It's only love and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.
Is it right that you and I should fight, (every night)
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, (very bright)
Haven't I the right to make it up girl.
It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do.
It's only love and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.
Yes it's so hard loving you.
Loving you.
The lyrics to the song "It's Only Love" by Beatlejazz talks about the conflicting emotions of love. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels a fluttery joy inside him when he sees the person he's in love with, but also feels shy around them. This inner turmoil and vulnerability is again echoed in the refrain when he says, "It's only love and that is all, Why should I feel the way I do?". The song highlights how love is not always easy and straightforward, even though it's an emotion that is often glorified in popular culture.
The second verse of the song talks about the fights that the couple goes through. The singer questions if it's right that they should be fighting so often when the sight of their lover ordinarily brings light to their life. He also mentions that he has the right to try and make up with his love interest. The final refrain reinforces the theme of the difficulty of loving someone. The repetition of the line, "But it's so hard loving you" emphasizes the struggle and confusion that comes with loving someone.
Overall, "It's Only Love" is a song that deals with the complex, multi-layered nature of love. It explores the conflicting emotions that come with it, and how it's not always easy but is still worth fighting for.
