Three Words Ain't Enough
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Searching for the truth
You've got the look of love
Three Words Ain't Enough
Let it grow
Oh, maybe this is right this time
No guarantee that you'll be mine
Oh, further down the line
Suddenly inspired by the freedom
Of three words I'm spokin'
Discovering what you mean to me
I'm lying here with you
Searching for the truth
You've got the look of love
Three Words Ain't Enough
I've tried a thousand times
And testifying every ready letter my love
Three Words Ain't Enough in my life
Oh, love was just an empty bay
It's amazing how things can change
Nothing stays the same, oh no
I'm totally inspired when I'm with you
By three words I'm spokin'
Discovering how strong we can be
I'm lying here with you
Searching for the truth
You've got the look of love
Three Words Ain't Enough
I've tried a thousand times
And testifying every ready letter my love
Three Words Ain't Enough
In everywhere you hold me
And everywhere you know me
Everyday you miss me
I wanna be with you
Remember when you told me baby
That every little step we take is gonna be right this time, oh
You've got the look of love
Three words, three words just ain't enough
I'm searching for the truth
You've got the look of love
Three Words Ain't Enough
I've tried a thousand times
And testifying every ready letter my love
Three Words Ain't Enough
In everywhere you hold me
And everywhere you know me
Everyday you miss me
I wanna be with you
Remember when you told me baby
That every little step we take is gonna be right this time, oh yeah

The first verse of Engelbert Humperdinck's song "Three Words Ain't Enough" sets the scene of two people lying together, searching for the truth in their relationship. However, the protagonist realizes that the three words "I love you," that they have shared, are not enough to express the depth of his emotions towards his partner. He feels that there is much more to their relationship than just love, and it requires something more than just love to make it work. He wants their relationship to flourish and grow but is unsure if it will work out, and he is not guaranteed that she will be his down the line. Despite this uncertainty, the protagonist is inspired by the freedom of expressing his emotions through words.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes that three words are not enough to express his feelings towards his partner. He has tried many times to express his emotions by writing letters but thinks that love takes much more than just three words. He has finally found someone that he loves and discovers that the three words he speaks to her are not enough to describe how he feels. The song emphasizes that love doesn't always work out, but it's amazing how things can change, and nothing stays the same.
In conclusion, Engelbert Humperdinck's "Three Words Ain't Enough" is a love song that shows the protagonist's acknowledgment of how love is not enough to make a relationship work. It shows the deeper emotions that love cannot express and illustrates the change in perspective that happens when one sees how life is not always guaranteed.
