In Love With Love
Deborah Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In love with love, in love with a passionate heart
In love with love, in love even when we're apart
In love with love, in love with a passionate heart
In love with love, in love even when we're apart
I wondered the difference of how it could last
I heard the celebration of champagne in glass
No wonder, it's no wonder why I'm
In love with love, in love with a passionate heart
In love with love, in love with the form of the art
We love through the fighting of everyday life
Of glass that gets broken and cuts like a knife
I wonder and I wonder why I'm
In love with love, in love with a passionate heart
In love with love, then on with the delicate march
Heart of fire, house of fire (of fire)
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire (of fire)
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire (of fire)
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire (of fire)
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire (of fire)
Heart of fire, house of fire
In love with love, in love with a passionate heart
In love with love, on fire with a passionate heart
Ablaze with reflection, our hot house is set
Blazing with a flaming with a fire, it's so passionately racing
With a chaser, it's so hard to keep my wits about me
Yeah yeah yeah
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire
Heart of fire, house of fire




Heart of fire, house of fire (of fire)
In love with a passionate heart (yeah yeah yeah)

Love looking at all of these comments and seeing no one saying anything bad about Debbie. Proof of how amazing she is. This is definitely one of my favorites from her solo career.

@erikt1713

This song only comes up if you are a real fan, after listening to practically all Blondie songs - or if you directly look for Debbie Harry by name. If you make it here, you must like her.

@eatthedots

Mine too - its a shame she didn't work with better producers most of the time - SAW and Debbie should have done more together.

I agree , she doesn’t seem to get much negative stuff , by all accounts she is a lovely lady , so guess she doesn’t attract trolls , I’ve loved her since 1978 and still love her , she always ploughs her own furrow so remains interesting to say the least ❤
