I Don't Know Much
Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at this face I know the years are showing
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

Look at these eyes they never seen what matters
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me,sometimes I see so clearly
That only truth I'll never know is me and you

Look at this man so blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul still searching for salvation

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know





I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Linda Ronstadt & Aaron Neville's song I Don't Know Much describe a person who is reflecting on their life and acknowledging that they still have many unanswered questions. They are aware that their face and life show signs of aging, and that their dreams have been battered, but they find solace in the fact that they love someone deeply, and that love may be all they need to know. They admit that they have not seen what truly matters and are still searching for salvation. However, when they are with the person they love, they feel as though they can see clearly, and the only truth they know for sure is the love they share.


The song is a powerful expression of love and the uncertainty that can come with it, as well as the comfort that love can provide. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing, but also a sense of hope, as the person acknowledges their own limitations but finds strength in loving another. The song is also notable for the beautiful harmonies between Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville, which create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that underscores the emotional intensity of the lyrics.
