live for love
Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know you know you know
How much I love you
So close so close that I could touch you
Tell me what I have to do
To make you love me too
So much for love
So much for love
Some times I start to feel
A little better
No one to bring me down so I can fly
Tell me what I have to do
To make you know me too
So much for love
So much for love
All the thoughts inside of me
Make me feel like I'm going wild
Enough to make a man go mad
You know you know you know
How much I love you
So close so close that I could touch you
Tell me what I have to do
To make you love me too




So much for love
So much for love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for "Live for Love" by the Company express the high intensity of emotion that love can cause someone to feel. The repeated phrases of "you know you know you know how much I love you" and "tell me what I have to do to make you love me too" are desperate cries for someone to reciprocate the love that is being given. The line "so close so close that I could touch you" is particularly powerful, as the physical distance between two people can often feel like an insurmountable obstacle when it comes to love.


The chorus of "so much for love" highlights the frustration and disappointment that can come with loving someone who doesn't seem to feel the same way. The lyrics suggest that the singer has tried everything they can think of to make the other person love them, but nothing has worked. The second verse adds an element of hope, with the singer feeling better when there is no one to bring them down. However, the chorus returns to remind us that even when things seem better, the pain of unrequited love can linger.


Overall, "Live for Love" is a powerful, emotional song that speaks to the highs and lows of love. It captures the feelings of desperation and frustration that can come with loving someone who doesn't love you back, while also holding out hope that someday things might work out.

@joe22589 Actually I do know many blues and jazz singers from the forties, and I love them very much. As a matter of fact I do enjoy all kinds of music from all over the world, old and new, as long as it is good to my ears.


I have no idea how someone underrates
a musician they don't even know, but obviously right up there we have someone who thinks Paul Rogers is an underrated singer and I believe anyone who really know Paul Rogers would know he was a very famous and admired singer back in the day so here we have, to our surprise, someone who thinks a singer is underrated even when he/she barely knows the musician!
So if you have a problem with someone who underrates a singer he/she doesn't know, just go ahead and bitch to the one up there, not to me.



I wrote my reply to AGREE with you so honestly I have no idea why you're bitching at me, but I did my best to make you understand, so help you God.

Walkin' down this rocky road
Wondering where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels, my friendOoh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you todayI'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Ready for your loveNow I'm on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now they're changing
You should know that I'm not afraidOoh, I want you to stay
Ooh, I want you todayOh baby, I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
Oh, for your love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
