Nat King Cole. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

Overall Meaning

Nat King Cole's "L.O.V.E" is a classic song about the profoundness of love. The song discusses the different aspects of love and how it can be portrayed by using the letters L.O.V.E. "L is for the way you look at me" illustrates how love can be seen in a person's eyes, and how just by looking into their eyes you can see the emotion that they feel for you. "O is for the only one I see" speaks to the idea of having a one true love, that one person who captures your heart and is the only one you see when you think about love.


"V is very, very extraordinary" describes how rare and unique true love can be. The person you love is special and extraordinary, and they bring joy and happiness into your life. "E is even more than anyone that you adore can" emphasizes the intensity of love. The person you love is greater than anyone or anything else that you adore.


The chorus reiterates the idea of love being all that the singer can give to their significant other, and that it is more than just a game for two. They also mention that love can withstand tough times, and two people who are in love can make it through anything as long as they stay together. Finally, the song concludes that love was made for the two of them, and this special bond is what will keep them together forever.

Can't believe this is the last song Nat King Cole recorded just days before he entered the hospital for cancer treatment. Early Dec 1964, then February 1965 he died. Amazing talent.

Nope. He recorded it some time before Sept. 1964. That's date is when the single was released.

My 6 year old Grandaughter singing this with her class on Feb 14th along with signing to it. She knows every word to it. It's amazing how a fablous song is still growing strong today.

People don’t realize how much skill it actually takes to sing like this. It’s often so over looked but it’s actually not that easy. To be able to sing so effortlessly that it looks as if you’re normally talking is a skill that not many people have nowadays. But that’s what the 40’s and 50’s mastered. It’s classy and elegant. Too bad there’ll never be another generation who can do it. What a shame.
