L.o.v.e. Love
Orange Juice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I started to write this song about you
Then I decided that I would write it all about love
It then occurred to me
That you weren't happy
That's for sure, positively
That's what the world is made for
So give me more...
L.O.V.E.
Love is a walk down Main street
Love is an apple that's so sweet
Love is something that can't be beat
L.O.V.E.
It's strange to me

I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
It's all in the heavens
Can't you see
You can always depend on me
To give you love

Love is a fire within my soul
Love is a story that can't be told
Can't you feel it burning more and more
Stop and look at the big wheel roll

I can't explain this feeling
Can't you see that salvation is freeing
I would give my life for the glory
Just to be able to tell the story
'Bout...

I didn't mean to make you mad
A sweet story, I thought I had
But maybe time will bring us together
And I will be such a happy fella
'Bout...

Love is something that is so divine
Love is a feeling (that)'s a friend of mine
It can't be measured by no time
In your heart or even in your mind
Love is a fire within my soul
Love is a story that can't be told




Can't you feel it burning more and more
Stop and look at the big wheel roll

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the lead singer of Orange Juice starts out by confessing that he initially started writing this song about a particular person but then he decided to write the song about love in general. He then realizes that the person he was writing the song about wasn't happy and so he sings about how love is what the world is made for, and he wants more of it. The chorus of the song spells out the word L.O.V.E. and describes what love is - a walk down Main street, an apple that's so sweet, something that can't be beat.


Throughout the song, the lead singer keeps singing about the feeling of love and how he can't explain it, but it's something divine and freeing. He acknowledges that it's a feeling he can always depend on and would even give his life for to tell the story about it. The song ends with the lead singer singing again about how love is a fire within his soul, a story that can't be told, and invites the listener to feel it burning more and more and to stop and look at the big wheel roll.


Overall, the song is an ode to love, and the lead singer clearly believes that it is a powerful force that can't be measured or explained by logic. He recognizes that it can be freeing and even divine in nature. The use of the word L.O.V.E. in the chorus is catchy and memorable, making the song even more of an anthem for love itself.
