Give Me Love
George Harrison With Eric Clapton And His Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't believe me that I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
But night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no else unless that someone is you, you, you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love but I don't want to borrow
I have it today and give back tomorrow
For my love is your love but there's no love for nobody else
These lyrics from George Harrison's song "Give Me Love" seem to be about a person who is expressing their desire for a particular lover. They are telling this lover that they would rather be alone than be with anyone else, and that their love is only for them. The person seems to be independent and does not want to borrow love or be with anyone else. They are reminiscing in the nighttime and thinking about their lover, but not necessarily wanting to kiss or be intimate with them. They are content with their love being solely for their chosen partner and not shared with anyone else.
Overall, the lyrics of "Give Me Love" suggest a deep love and devotion to one particular person. The singer is not interested in being with anyone else and values their independence. The nighttime seems to be a time of reflection and thinking about this special person.

From Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Tom Petty and Joe Walsh from the brilliant 2012 BBC Documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The Story Of Jeff Lynne : " It took 4 Beatles and George Martin to accomplish what Jeff Lynne has done musically all by himself. Of course, by popularity and COMMERCIALLY, The Beatles are no 1 but musically Jeff Lynne rules. I am a huge Beatles fan but Jeff Lynne is better with Harmonies, Orchestration, as an incredible Producer, singer and songwriter". Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!! Please Tour in 2022!!!
