SWEET LOVE
Company Of Strangers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They can show you everywhere they go
And some people have diamonds and pearls
That they love to wear around their souls
Chorus ~
I tell you it's love love sweet sweet love
Well it's got me fooled every single time
I gonna catch my breath before I die
Sweet sweet love sweet sweet love
Some people have the one they need
They're the very same ones that want to leave
Walkin' around with a tender disguise
Cause they don't wanna make the other one cry
Chorus
Got me fooled every single time
Love sweet sweet love
Catch my breath catch my breath
Before I die
Before I die
I tell you it's love love sweet sweet love
Well it's got me fooled every single time
I tell you it's love love sweet sweet love
I wanna catch my breath before I die
I tell you it's love
Tell you it's love
Tell you it's love
Catch my breath before I die
Tell you it's love
Tell you it's love ~ x 2
Catch my breath before I die
Tell you it's love every single time
Catch my breath before I die
Tell you it's love
Tell you it's love.
The lyrics to Company of Strangers' "Sweet Love" explore the significance of love in one's life. The opening lines acknowledge that some people may have material possessions like fancy cars or jewelry, things that are typically associated with success or status, but the lyrics place greater importance on love as something that can't be quantified in the same way. The chorus repeats the phrase "love sweet sweet love" and confesses that it has the singer "fooled every single time." This suggests that the singer may have been disappointed or hurt by love in the past, but still believes in its power and remains hopeful for the future.
The second verse explores the idea that sometimes the people we need the most might be the ones we want to leave. This could relate to a number of different types of relationships, such as romantic partners, family members, or close friends. The lyrics suggest that sometimes people put on a "tender disguise" to avoid hurting the other person, even if it means hiding their true feelings. This can be seen as both an act of kindness and a form of self-preservation, as the singer acknowledges the complexity of human emotions.
Overall, "Sweet Love" is a song that celebrates the power of love while acknowledging its challenges and complexities. The lyrics suggest that love is an essential part of life that can bring great joy and fulfillment, but that it can also be difficult and painful at times. By repeating the phrase "love sweet sweet love," the song emphasizes the importance of this emotion in human experience.
