For Your Love
Herman’s Hermits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I'd give you everything and more, and that's for sure.
For your love.
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door.
For your love.
To thrill you with delight,
I'll give you diamonds bright.
There'll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.

For your love.
For your love.
For your love.

For your love, for your love,
I would give the stars above.
For your love, for your love,
I would give you all I could.

For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I'd give the moon if it were mine to give.
For your love.
I'd give the stars and the sun 'fore I live.
For your love.

To thrill you with delight,
I'll give you diamonds bright.
There'll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.

For your love.
For your love.




For your love.
For your love.

I heard this the other day on Something Good on xm6 and was really surprised at how good it was!  I'm a big Yardbirds fan.

I was listening to XM radio last night, and Peter Noone was hosting the show. Before he played the Yardbirds, he mentioned that the Hermits released it slightly before the Yardbirds. I had no idea!?!? So, this is my first time hearing this…
