Ross and Richie recorded the song for Motown, and it was used as the theme for the film Endless Love starring Brooke Shields. Produced by Richie and arranged by Gene Page, Endless Love became the second biggest-selling single of the year in the U.S., staying at number 1 for nine weeks. The soulful composition became the biggest-selling single of Ross' career and her 18th career number-one single, but her last hit on Motown. It was one of several hits for Richie as the 1980s progressed, and led to an Academy Award for Best Original Song nomination for him. It also won a 1982 American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Single.

Diana Ross and Lionel Richie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share
No one else will do
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh, yes
You will always be
My endless love
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever (oh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love, oh love
I'll be a fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind (oh)
You know I don't mind
'Cause you
You mean the world to me (oh)
I know, I know
I've found, I've found in you
My endless love
Ohh
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom boom, boom
Oh, and love oh, love
I'll be that fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind
And, yes
You'll be the only one
'Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love
My endless love
The lyrics to Diana Ross's song Endless Love depict a deep and profound love shared between two people. The first two lines, "My love, there's only you in my life, / The only thing that's right," suggest that the singer's love is the most important thing to them and that they cannot imagine their life without it. The following lines, "You're every breath that I take, / You're every step I make," emphasize the all-consuming nature of their love and how their significant other is intimately involved in every aspect of their life.
The chorus of the song, "And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes / They tell me how much you care," highlights the intensity of the singer's feelings and how their partner's actions and expressions validate their love. The singer then declares, "You will always be / My endless love," indicating that their love is infinite, never-ending, and unwavering.
The second verse of the song continues to emphasize the closeness of the two lovers, as they are described as "two hearts that beat as one" and the start of their lives together is marked as just beginning. The singer expresses their devotion to their significant other, stating that they will "hold you close in my arms" and that they cannot resist their partner's "charms." The final lines of the song reinforce the singer's unwavering devotion as they declare that their love is endless and that they will give everything they have to their loved one.
Overall, the lyrics of Endless Love capture the all-consuming and all-encompassing nature of a deep and profound love, where two individuals become one.
