Is This Love
Bob Marley The Wailers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to love you
I want to love you, and treat you right
I want to love you, every day and every night

I want to love you, and treat you right
I want to love you, every day and every night

We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed
We'll share the same room
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?

I want to love you, and treat you right
I want to love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed
We'll share the same room
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?

Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I want to know, want to know, want to know now

Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love




Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I want to love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bob Marley & The Wailers's song "Is This Love?" are about the intensity of the singer's love for his partner, and his desire to treat them with respect and kindness. The lines "I want to love you, and treat you right / I want to love you, every day and every night" express this sentiment clearly. The song goes on to describe the couple's shared living arrangements and asks the key question, "Is this love that I'm feelin'?"


The verses suggest a deep intimacy between the two people, with the lines "We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads / We'll share the shelter, of my single bed / We'll share the same room." The repetition of the chorus reinforces the singer's need for reassurance that what he is feeling is indeed true love, and not just a fleeting infatuation. The song ends with the same question it began with, leaving the listener with the sense that the answer is not entirely clear.

Jesus Christ Saves

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is returning very soon, and is the reason for all of the things that are happening on the Earth right now. This planet is on borrowed time.

Jesus Christ died on a cross, was buried in a tomb, and rose from the dead 3 days later, to pay for the sins of mankind, to give us eternal life and forgiveness from God.

EXACTLY how to be Saved by Jesus Christ, the Son of God:

1. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

2. Believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Biblical References:
1. Romans 5:9
2. Romans 3:23
3. Romans 6:23
4. Romans 10:9
5. Romans 10:13
6. Ephesians 2: 8 & 9
7. John 3:16

God bless you, peace be with you always. Thank you for your time.
