Love Love Love
Of Monsters and 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

Of Monsters and Men's song Love Love Love is a heartbreaking track about a person who knows they can't return the love of someone who loves them deeply. The opening lines, "Maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away, yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it" reveals that the singer feels guilty for leading this person on and breaking their heart. And yet, despite knowing this, the person still loves them deeply.


The chorus is an admission of the singer's imperfections, stating "when you know I can't love you" repeatedly. The line "all 'cause you love, love, love" serves as a reminder that the other person's love is the reason for their pain. The lyrics "and those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room, filled with people that are less important than you" illustrate that the singer recognizes the value of the person's love, but still can't reciprocate it. The sad but honest lyrics are paired with classic Of Monsters and Men harmonies and a simple but effective melody.


Overall, Love Love Love is a poignant reminder of the struggles of unrequited love and the pain it can bring to both parties involved.


Line by Line Meaning

Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away
I may have taken your heart without your consent


Yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it
I confess that I didn't handle your heart with the love and care it deserved


Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person
I acknowledge my mistakes and agree that I was not a good person in this situation


Well, baby, I know
I am fully aware of my faults and shortcomings


And these fingertips Will never run through your skin
I will never again have the privilege of touching your skin


And those bright blue eyes Can only meet mine across a room Filled with people that are less important than you
I can only gaze into your beautiful eyes from a distance, surrounded by people who don't compare to you in importance


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
You continue to love me even though I am incapable of loving you back


So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it
It's time for us to move on and forget about what could have been, before we get too caught up in our feelings


The way you held me so tight All through the night 'Til it was near morning
I can't forget the way you once held me so tightly all night long

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.
