I Love to Love
David Christie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance, He loves to dance, He's got to dance
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Oh I love to love
But there's no time for our romance
No no no oh
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
The minute the band begins to swing it
He's on his feet to dig it
And dance the night away
Stop I'm spinning like a top
We'll dance until we drop
But if I had my way
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
He wants to dance, He loves to dance, He's got to dance
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Oh I love to love
But he won't give our love a chance
No no no oh
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Stop I'm spinning like a top
We'll dance until we drop
But if I had my way
Sundown instead of going downtown
We'll stay at home and get down
To what I'm tryin' to say
Oh I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance yeah yeah
I love to love
But my baby just loves to dance
Yes he does...ooh...get down...oh

The song conveys the idea that sometimes relationships require compromise and understanding each other's interests, in this case, the partner's love for dance.
The lyrics of "I Love to Love" are relatively simplistic but convey a deeper message that can resonate with many people. The song's repetitive chorus highlights the contrast between the singer's love for love and her partner's love for dance.
