What You Won't Do for Love
Marcela Mangabeira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, you do for love
You tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you make me do
For love what I would not do
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
I know I only want the best, it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, you do for love
You've tried everything but you won't give up
In my world, only you make me do
For love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
In my world, only you make me do
For love what I would not do...
The lyrics of Marcela Mangabeira's song What You Won't Do for Love reveal the lengths someone is willing to go to for the person they love. The song is about a man who left his love to search for love elsewhere only to realize that he has a love worth cherishing. The first stanza reveals this realization when he comes back to the one he loves, and he confesses his undying love for her. He admits that he has a thing for her and cannot let go. The second stanza describes how his friends are surprised by the daze he is in due to his beloved's love. The third stanza talks about how some people travel the world seeking love but never find it. The chorus suggests that what you won't do for love, you do for love. Love is the reason why people are willing to go to great lengths.
In conclusion, Mangabeira's lyrics emphasize the power of love in making people go to extraordinary lengths. The singer's love for his significant other is so strong that he is willing to do things that he would not ordinarily do. The song's chorus suggests that love is powerful enough to make people go above and beyond for those they love, and the singer is no exception.
