Who You Love
John Mayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
My girl, she ain't the one that I saw coming
And sometimes I don't know which way to go
And I tried to run before
But I'm not running anymore
'Cause I've fought against it hard enough to know
That you love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
Oh, you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love
Then it's who you love
My boy, he ain't the one that I saw coming
And some have said his heart's too hard to hold
And it takes a little time
But you should see him when he shines
'Cause you never want to let that feeling go
When you love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
Yeah, you love, who you love
Who you love
Oh, you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love
Then it's who you love
Oh, you love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
Oh, you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love
Then it's who you love
It's who you love
Who you love
Who you love
Who you love
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh yeah
You're the one I love
In John Mayer's song "Who You Love," he explores the concept of accepting and embracing love for who it is and not trying to change or resist it. The repeated phrase "You love who you love" speaks to the idea that we cannot control who we fall in love with and that sometimes the people we end up loving are unexpected or may not fit the mold of who we thought we would be with. The verses describe two different couples who were not initially drawn to each other for traditional reasons, but have learned to appreciate each other for who they are and the love they share.
The line "My girl, she ain’t the one that I saw coming" suggests that Mayer was surprised by his partner and may have initially resisted the idea of being with her. However, he has come to accept her and the love they share, despite any preconceptions or doubts he may have had. Similarly, he sings about his friend whose "heart's too hard to hold" but encourages others to give him time and see him for the shining moments he has.
The song ultimately celebrates the power of love and the importance of embracing it in all forms, even when it may not fit our expectations. By acknowledging the idea that "who you love" is often out of our control, Mayer encourages listeners to appreciate and cherish love when it comes into our lives.
