In The Beatles' song Love Me Do, the lyrics express a plea for the love of someone they desire by saying "love, love me do." The repetition of this line creates an emphasis on the importance of love and the desire to be loved in return. The second line "you know I love you" confirms the love that is already present and indicates that this is not an entirely one-sided plea. The third line "I'll always be true" suggests a pledge of loyalty and commitment, which further reinforces the sincerity of the plea.
The fourth line "so please, love me do" acts as a conclusion. It is a final request for the other person to reciprocate the love that has been expressed. The repetition of "whoa, love me do" at the end of each verse has a joyful and whimsical tone, which contrasts the obvious urgency of the lyrics. This juxtaposition suggests that even though the matter at hand is serious, they are still filled with hope and anticipation.
The lines "someone to love" and "someone new" suggest that the singer is searching for something specific. The repetition of "someone to love" reinforces this idea of searching, indicating they have not found what they are looking for yet. The line "someone like you" implies that the singer has found what he has been searching for in the person he is singing to.
Overall, Love Me Do is a simple and straightforward song that expresses a universal desire for love and companionship. The song's somewhat upbeat melody and the repetition of "love me do" gives it a joyful and carefree tone, making it a classic Beatles tune.
