A Sunday Kind Of Love
Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
I want a Sunday kind of love oh yeah

I want a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love

I do all my Sunday dreaming
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
And I'm hopin' to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone to enfold
To help keep me warm
When Mondays, and Tuesdays grow cold
And I need a love for all my life
To have and to hold
I need a Sunday kind of love

I don't want a Monday or a Tuesday
A Wednesday or a Thursday
Friday or Saturday




I don't want nothin' baby
I want a Sunday kind of love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "A Sunday Kind of Love" by Ella Fitzgerald express the desire for a love that lasts beyond just one night or a fleeting attraction. She wants a love that is true and pure, based on honesty and a genuine emotional connection. The repeated refrain of "I want a Sunday kind of love" serves as a metaphor for a love that is restful, warm and welcoming. She is looking for someone who will allow her to be vulnerable and share her life with, to hold her and keep her warm even when the world outside is cold.


The lyrics also highlight the struggles of searching for love, particularly when facing loneliness and a feeling that romance may never come. The lines "Can't seem to find somebody someone to care/And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere" capture the sentiment of a person longing for a partner to share their life with, but unable to find that special connection. However, despite the difficulties, Ella remains hopeful and optimistic, dreaming and scheming on Sundays about finding the right person.
