Can't Buy Me Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel all right
'Cause I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
For money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love
No no no, no

Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love





Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Can't Buy Me Love" by The Beatles explore the concept that love and happiness cannot be bought with money. The song opens with a repetition of the chorus, "Can't buy me love, love, can't buy me love," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The first verse suggests that the singer would give material possessions, like a diamond ring or anything else, to make his friend happy, but ultimately believes that money is insufficient to buy love. The second verse highlights the fact that the singer may not have a lot of money, but what he has he will give to the person he loves. The chorus is repeated once more, emphasizing that money cannot buy love. The final two verses reinforce the idea by asking the person the singer loves to confirm that they don't need expensive jewelry or anything else that money can buy to be happy and satisfied.
