Whats Love Got To Do With It
Partynextdoor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I do is write songs
Heard I only sing about love
She said I'm 18
What the hell I know about love?
All I know is that I break hearts
Leave 'em, love 'em, leave me, love me
Repeat over and over again
And her mom said, do I love her daughter?
And I said, do I love your daughter?
Your daughter then I pause for a minute and
I asked her a question
What's love got to do with it?
Oh, what's love got to do with it?
What's love got to do with it?
What's love got to do with it?
What's love, what's love
What's love, what's love
What's love, what's love
What's love, what's love
Her mom found out I ain't got a job
All I do is write songs
Heard I only sing about love
She said I'm 18
What the hell I know about love?
All I know is that I break hearts
Leave 'em, love 'em, leave me, love me
Repeat over and over again
And her mom said, do I love her daughter?
And I said, do I love your daughter?
Your daughter then I pause for a minute and
I asked her a question
What's love got to do with it?
Oh, what's love got to do with it?
What's love got to do with it?
What's love got to do with it?
What's love, what's love
What's love, what's love
What's love, what's love
What's love, what's love
In these lyrics, PARTYNEXTDOOR reflects on a situation where he is being judged by his girlfriend's mother for not having a job and focusing solely on writing songs. The mother hears that he exclusively sings about love and questions his understanding of it, given his young age of 18. PARTYNEXTDOOR responds by acknowledging that he tends to leave a trail of broken hearts, but that he also experiences love in return, resulting in a repetitive cycle.
Amidst this conversation, the artist ponders the concept of love itself and poses the question, "What's love got to do with it?" seemingly challenging the mother's skepticism and questioning the role love plays in relationships. By repeating this question multiple times, he emphasizes his confusion and seeks clarification regarding its relevance.
The repetition of the verses reiterates the initial judgment placed on him by the girlfriend's mother due to his lack of employment and lyrical focus. However, the repetition also serves as a reflection of the recurring cycle of love and heartbreak that PARTYNEXTDOOR experiences, reinforcing the notion that love is a complex and often repetitive journey.
Overall, these lyrics highlight themes of judgment, societal expectations, and the artist's contemplation of the significance of love. PARTYNEXTDOOR challenges the traditional ideas of love and questions its impact, suggesting that the true understanding of love is not solely determined by one's occupation or age.
