Elephant Love Medley
Nicole Kidman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love lifts us up where we belong
All you need is love!
Please, don't start that again
All you need is love
All you need is love
Or she'll end up on the streets
All you need is love
Love is just a game
I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me
The only way of loving me baby, is to pay a lovely fee
Just one night, give me just one night
There's no way, 'cause you can't pay
In the name of love, one night in the name of love
You crazy fool, I won't give in to you
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see, it isn't so, oh no
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again!
Love lifts us up where we belong
Where eagles fly, on a mountain high
Love makes us act like we are fools
Throw our lives away, for one happy day
We could be heroes! Just for one day
You, you will be mean
No I won't!
And I, I'll drink all the time
We should be lovers
We can't do that
We should be lovers, and that's a fact
Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We could be heroes, forever and ever
We could be heroes, forever and ever
We could be heroes
Just because I will always love you
I
Can't help loving you
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world
The lyrics to Nicole Kidman's song Elephant Love Medley are a collection of various lyrics from popular love songs. The song starts with "Love is a many splendored thing," originally from the theme song of the 1955 romance film of the same name. The lyrics then transition to "Love lifts us up where we belong," which was famously performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes for the 1982 movie, An Officer and a Gentleman. However, the male voice in this version is not Joe Cocker, but rather Ewan McGregor, Kidman's co-star in the film Moulin Rouge!, in which this song features. The female voice, Kidman, then interrupts with "Please, don't start that again," as she is not in the mood for sappy love songs. Nevertheless, the medley continues with snippets from several other popular love songs, including The Beatles' "All You Need is Love," Kiss' "I Was Made for Lovin' You," and Gloria Gaynor's "Don't Leave Me This Way."
Line by Line Meaning
Love is a many splendored thing
Love is a complicated and multi-faceted emotion
Love lifts us up where we belong
Love has the power to make us feel elevated and fulfilled
All you need is love!
Love is the most important thing in life
Please, don't start that again
Don't repeat that phrase again
A girl has got to eat
Every person has basic needs that must be met
Or she'll end up on the streets
If basic needs aren't met, a person may end up homeless
Love is just a game
Love can feel like a game with uncertain outcomes
I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me
We are meant to be together
The only way of loving me baby, is to pay a lovely fee
Loving me comes at a cost
Just one night, give me just one night
I want to spend one night with you
There's no way, 'cause you can't pay
You cannot afford to be with me
In the name of love, one night in the name of love
I want to spend one night with you out of love
You crazy fool, I won't give in to you
You are foolish for thinking I will give in to you
Don't leave me this way
I don't want you to leave me
I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby
I need your love to survive
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
People may be tired of hearing love songs
I look around me and I see, it isn't so, oh no
Actually, people still enjoy love songs
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
There are people who want love to be expressed everywhere
Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know
What's the problem with love being everywhere?
'Cause here I go again!
I'm going to sing another love song
Love lifts us up where we belong
Love makes us feel like we're on top of the world
Where eagles fly, on a mountain high
Love takes us to great heights
Love makes us act like we are fools
Love can make us do crazy things
Throw our lives away, for one happy day
We may risk everything for a moment of happiness
We could be heroes! Just for one day
We could be brave and heroic, even if just for a day
You, you will be mean
You might be mean to me
No I won't!
I won't be mean to you
And I, I'll drink all the time
I may drink too much
We should be lovers
We should be in a romantic relationship
We can't do that
We can't be together
We should be lovers, and that's a fact
We are meant to be together
Though nothing, will keep us together
There may be obstacles, but we will still be together
We could steal time
We could use every opportunity to be together
Just for one day
Even if only for a day
We could be heroes, forever and ever
We could be legendary, always remembered
Just because I will always love you
I will always love you
I can't help loving you
I cannot control my love for you
How wonderful life is
Life is beautiful
Now you're in the world
Now that you're in my life
