LOVE LOVE LOVE
Monsters & Men Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away
Yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person
Well, baby, I know

And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
And those bright blue eyes
Can only meet mine across a room
Filled with people that are less important than you

All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it

The way you held me so tight
All through the night
'Til it was near morning

'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

All 'cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love




You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Love Love Love" by Monsters & Men tell a story of a person who feels guilty for not being able to reciprocate the love that someone else has for them. The opening lines confess to being a "crook" for taking the other person's heart without being able to return the same amount of love or care. The following lines further establish this guilt, referring to themselves as a "bad person" for not being able to love in the same way.


The chorus repeats the phrase "you love, love, love, when you know I can't love" multiple times, emphasizing the contrast between the other person's love for them and their inability to return the same level of feeling. The song also includes a moment of regret when the singer acknowledges the way the other person held them tightly throughout the night until morning.


Overall, "Love Love Love" is a poignant reminder that even though people may care for each other, their feelings may not always be mutual, leaving one person feeling guilty and the other heartbroken.


Line by Line Meaning

Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away
Perhaps I'm a dishonest person for taking your heart without regard.


Yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
It's probable that I have ill-treated your heart and am therefore dishonest.


Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person
I may be a terrible, terrible individual.


Well, baby, I know
But I'm aware of it.


And these fingertips
These hands, which are typing this song,


Will never run through your skin
Will not feel the intimate touch of your skin.


And those bright blue eyes
My eyes, which are bright blue in color,


Can only meet mine across the room filled with people that are less important than you
Can only encounter your gaze from afar in a room full of people who are less significant than you are.


All 'cause you love, love, love
Your love, your love, your love,


When you know I can't love
Although you're aware that my feelings do not reciprocate.


You love, love, love
You love, your love, your love,


When you know I can't love
Even though you know that my love cannot exist.


You love, love, love
You love, your love, your love,


When you know I can't love you
You love, your love, your love, when you know I cannot reciprocate.


So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it
Therefore, before we become too attached, it would be best to forget it all.


The way you held me so tight
How tightly you held me


All through the night
The entire night


'Til it was near morning
Until almost morning


'Cause you love, love, love
Because you love, your love, your love,


When you know I can't love
Even though you know I am unable to love you.


You love, love, love
Your love, your love, your love,


When you know I can't love
Although you're aware that I cannot reciprocate your love.


You love, love, love
You love, your love, your love,


When you know I can't love you
Even though you know my love cannot exist.

Lyrics
Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away
And maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad... bad person
Well, baby I know

And these fingertips
Will never run through your skin
Those bright blue eyes

Can't only meet mine across the room
Filled with people that are less important than you
'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
You love, love, love
When your know I can't love you
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

So I think it's best
We both forget
Before we dwell on it

The way you held me so tight
All through the night
Til it was near morning
'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

'Cause you love, love, love
When you know I can't love you
You love, love, love
When your know I can't love you
You love, love, love
When you know I can't love you

In 2015, I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure. Both of my kidneys failed so bad, they're practically useless. I was alone in New Zealand (I'm a Malaysian, went to Auckland for my bachelor's), no one was by my side when the doctor told me abt the bad news. I listened to this song on repeat every night before bed, and cried myself to sleep everytime. No one would ever love me when I'm this way, I thought. My body's broken and so was my spirit. My father flew to Auckland from home to be with me. The first thing he did when he saw me was he hugged me so tightly and said "Don't worry, I promise you I'll take care of you. You will never have to be alone anymore". And he's still here with me, through every tear, every surgery and every dialysis.
I thought I needed a man to take care of me. I forgot I have my Dad.
Thank you, Abah. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. ❤️

@thesplotchycat

Is it weird that this comment made me shed a tear or am I just jealous you have a dad

@schleepy6362

I need to get out of these comments or I’ll die of dehydration. From the wATER I LOST BY CRYING😭😭😭

@onah

Hey. I hope you’re getting better with every day. You’re not alone❤

@chckkt893

Love love love from my country ❤

You can be healed, but not by an allopathic practitioner. Only a naturopathic doctor and homeopath can help you get well. Be careful who you choose because there are some who are selling out. Also, read the "Meat Heals" site. Read about people with kidney failure were healed, in large part by returning to the proper human diet.
