Love Sometimes
Pinmonkey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love sometimes is like a diamond
Sometimes it's like coal
Love sometimes is like smoke
Sometimes it's like cold
Now I don't always know what love is
But I know this love is fine, this love is fine
We ought to get a little, a little bit closer
Love sometimes is like a pillow
Or a bed of nails
Love sometimes is like freedom
Sometimes it's like jail
Now I don't always know what love is
But I know this love is fine, this love is fine
We ought to get a little, a little bit closer
No I don't always know what love is
But it tastes just like wine, oh just like wine
Don't let our love die on the vine, yeah

A real man wants a woman
A woman wants a real man
One that understands, yeah

Love sometimes, love sometimes
Oh I know this love is fine, this love is fine
We ought to get a little, a little bit closer
Now I donÆt always know what love is, love sometimes




But it tastes just like wine, oh just like wine
Don't let our love die on the vine, yeah

Overall Meaning

It compares love to a diamond and coal, indicating that it can be either precious or worthless.

The song uses the metaphor of a pillow and a bed of nails to suggest that sometimes love can be comforting, while other times it can be painful. Similarly, it suggests that love can be like freedom or jail, depending on the situation.


The chorus of the song suggests that the singer may not always understand what love truly is, but they know that this particular love they are experiencing is fine. They urge their partner to get a little closer and not let their love die on the vine. The song concludes with the assertion that a real man wants a woman who understands him, and a woman wants a real man who understands her.
