Words Of Love
Mama's & Papa's The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't win a girls heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go, no
Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win her
You oughta know by now
You oughta know, you oughta know by now
Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win her anymore
You oughta know by now
You oughta know, you oughta know by now
Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win a girls heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go
Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win her anymore, anymore
The lyrics of "Words of Love" by The Mama's & The Papa's seem to be a message to a person trying to win over someone they love. The first stanza states that using "words of love" that are "soft and tender" will no longer impress the person they are trying to win over. It seems that this approach may have been used before and now it is no longer effective. The second stanza advises that something different needs to be done, such as taking the person somewhere new that they have never been before. That is, a more creative and unique approach may be necessary to win over the person they love.
The chorus emphasizes the message that using "words of love, soft and tender" is no longer sufficient to win someone over. The repetition of the phrase "you oughta know by now" suggests that the singer thinks that the person should already be aware that this approach is no longer effective. The final line of the chorus, "Won't win a girl's heart anymore," reinforces the idea that there needs to be a new and different approach to capture someone's heart.
In summary, "Words of Love" is a message that using tired phrases and longing looks is no longer an effective way to win over someone you love. Instead, more creativity is needed such as taking the person to a place they have never been before.

In my opinion, Cass Elliot had (has) one of the greatest voices in rock history , I just wonder how lucky we could have been if she had been with us longer🙏
@thatoldcomicsmell
I 100% agree!
@vision-gc4hy
If Cass had lived, she'd be considered one of the greatest stars in the world by now. I'm talking Oprah level influence. Her talent, her wisdom and vast collection of friendships would have led her to movies, television, you name it. Can you imagine her talk shows?
@sandrab1408
Una voz maravillosa ciertamente. Lastima que haya partido de este mundo tan joven.
@stellarocquie7957
It DOES speak volumes about the huge impact she had on music, and the world in general, during her very short time on this earth. What an enormous loss. We can only imagine where her talent would have taken her.
@latinguy67
I concur with your opinion. Her voice is absolutely incredible. Her beautiful energy is just a great plus to her talents.
