Love and Loss and Love
Ritmo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion

What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

Overall Meaning

The song "What's Love Got to Do With It" by Ritmo Del Mundo Ft. Rea is a classic love ballad with a unique twist. The lyrics delve into the idea that physical attraction and the excitement of a new relationship are often mistaken for love. The singer of the song admits that they are confused by their own feelings, but ultimately they are protecting themselves from a potential broken heart.

The first verse sets the tone for the song, as the singer explains how the physical touch of their partner sets off a reaction in their body. However, they clarify that this is only because of the thrill of attraction between opposite sexes. They try to rationalize these feelings as being logical and merely physical, but they cannot ignore the fact that there may be a deeper emotional connection.

The chorus of the song asks the question "What's love got to do with it?" The lyrics suggest that love is just a second-hand emotion, and that a broken heart is not worth the risk. Despite this, the singer cannot deny their feelings, and they admit that they are scared by the emotions they are experiencing.

In the second verse, the singer admits to feeling confused in their partner's presence. They have read about this feeling and can name it, but they are not sure why they feel this way. The lyrics suggest that because this feeling is not love, there must be another explanation for it.

Overall, the song highlights the confusion that can arise from physical attraction and the early stages of a relationship. It questions the idea of love and places a greater emphasis on self-protection.

Line by Line Meaning

You must understand though the touch of your hand Makes my pulse react That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl Opposites attract It's physical Only logical You must try to ignore that it means more than that
Although your touch creates a physical reaction in me, it's merely the excitement of different genders coming together. It's only physical, not emotional. You should overlook the possibility of it being more than that.

What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love but a second hand emotion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
Love plays no role in this situation. It's just a meaningless term that refers to a passing feeling. Who needs the vulnerability of love when hearts can be broken?

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused When you're close to me If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace I've got cause to be There's a name for it There's a phrase that fits But whatever the reason you do it for me
When you're near me, I may seem bewildered, but there's a scientific explanation for it. Even so, whatever you do, it makes me feel good.

I've been taking on a new direction But I have to say I've been thinking about my own protection It scares me to feel this way
I've been trying to change my life, but I must admit that I've been contemplating how to protect myself from getting hurt. The feeling that you provoke scares me.

What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
Again, love is irrelevant. It's an old-fashioned idea that doesn't hold weight in practical life. Hearts are frail and can be broken, so why bother with them?
