Bob Marley & The Wailers & Wailers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could you be loved and be loved?
Don't let them fool ya
Or even try to school ya
Oh, no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! and be loved?
(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman
(Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?)
Don't let them change ya, oh
Or even rearrange ya
Oh, no
We've got a life to live
They say: only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive
Eh
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! and be loved?
(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied)
Say something! (Could you be, could you be, could you be loved?
Could you be, could you be loved?)
Say something
Say something

"Could You Be Loved" is a powerful song by Bob Marley & The Wailers with additional verses by Damian Marley. The song encourages self-love and acceptance, while rejecting society's arbitrary judgments and expectations. The song suggests that everyone deserves to be loved and that one should resist being controlled or manipulated by others.
The song begins with a call to not be misled or controlled by others' opinions. The lyrics remind us that we are autonomous beings and should make our own decisions. The song goes on to say that love will not abandon us in times of darkness, and that ultimately, light will emerge. The chorus asks the listener to contemplate whether they could be loved and be loving towards others.
The second verse encourages people to love and support each other, especially amid the difficulties of life. The verse suggests that we should not change for others and should embrace our individuality. The lyric implies that only the strongest and most resilient people will thrive in society. The bridge reflects on how it is easy to take things for granted, only to realize their importance when they are no longer readily available. The lyric encourages people to be proactive about the people and things they love while they still have them.
