He Loves And She Loves
Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they love
So why can`t you love
And I love like too?
Birds love and bees love
And whispering trees love,
And that`s what we both should do.
We`ll make a twosome that just can`t go wrong,
Hear me he loves and she loves
And they love so won`t you
Love me as I love you?
Oh I always knew someday you`d come along,
We`ll make a twosome that just can`t go wrong,
Hear me he loves and she loves
And they love so won`t you
Love me as I love you?
Won`t you love me, as I love you?
Original Version:
Peter:
Now that I have found you
I must hang around you.
Though you may refuse me,
You will never lose me.
If the human race is
Full of happy faces -
Frankie:
It`s because they all love
That wonderous thing they call love.
[Refrain]
Peter:
He loves and she loves,
And they love
So why can`t you love
And I love like too?
Frankie:
Birds love and bees love
And whispering trees love,
And that`s what we both should do.
Peter:
Oh I always knew someday you`d come along,
Frankie:
We`ll make a twosome that just can`t go wrong,
Hear me
Peter:
He loves and she loves
And they love so won`t you
Love me as I love you?
Frankie:
Feel a funny feeling
In my heart a-stealing;
If it`s love, I`m for it.
Gosh! How I adore it!
You`re the silver lining
For which I`ve been pining.
Peter:
Lonesome days are over;
From now on, we`re in clover.
[Refrain]
The lyrics of "He Loves and She Loves" by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong are a call for mutual love and affection, inspired by the love that surrounds us in nature. The song opens with a simple yet evocative line, "He loves and she loves, and they love," inviting the listener to join in the celebration of love. The next lines of the song set the stage for the argument: "So, why can't you love, and I love like too?" The message is clear - love should be a reciprocal exchange.
The following lines of the song draw upon the love that exists in nature, such as the love of birds and bees, and the love of whispering trees. These images serve to illustrate the naturalness of love and the importance of it being experienced mutually. The succeeding lines stress that the two of them could also share the same kind of love that the natural world does.
The lyrics continue with the idea of hope – "Oh, I always knew someday you'd come along, we'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong", but also include a plea, "he loves and she loves, and they love so won't you love me as I love you?" The song ends with a simple question, "Won't you love me, as I love you?", emphasizing the simplicity and beauty of love and its power to unite people.

He loves and she loves,
Two individuals love each other deeply
And they love
They are both in love with each other

Lonesome days are over;
My lonely days are now over
From now on, we're in clover.
We will be happy and successful together from now on

I came upon this album in a junk store in San Diego when I was 14. It was the beginning of a life long love affair with the Great American Songbook.

So far I have listened to some artists sing this song: Fred Astaire, Dorothy Collins and Julie Andrews. But Ella Fitzgerald is second to none of them.
