All About Love
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We know it's been time talking to you,
So we figure we lay it on you
Let you know how we feel about, love
Paint a pretty smile, each day
Lovin, is a blessing,
Never let it fade away
It's all about love
Build yourself a true romance,
There's beauty that surround you
You deserve, just one more chance

My dear, my dear

Let the light snine, all through
Your mind feel your little, heart a glow
Take the time, make up your mind
It's all about love

Talking to yourself is fine makes
You feel, much better,
Know just where to draw the line

My dear, my dear

Bound to fall in love one day
Surely and you need it,
Pretty smile will always say
It's all about love

We want to take this moment
To run down a couple of things
About things we see everyday

Now, I want you to stop
Whatever you're doing
You're doing
Just stop
You know, they say there' s beauty
In the eyes which I say is not the fact
'Cause you are as beautiful
As your thoughts, right on

You know, for instance, we study
All kinds of sciences, astrogy,
Mysticism, religion, so forth we did
And like coming from her place,
All these things help
Because if you're inside your inner self
Have mercy!

Now...there's an outer self
We got to deal with
The one that likes to go to parties,
One that likes to dress up and be cool
And look pretty,
All ego-trips have all this

Hear you all, I'm trying to tell you,
You gotta love you
And learn all the beautiful things around you,
Trees and birds...and if
There ain't no beauty,
You got to make some beauty




Have mercy!
Listen to me, Yeah!
