Love You More
The Buzzcocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in love again
Been like this before
I'm in love again
This time's true, I'm sure

Don't wanna end up like no nine-day wonder (oh-oh)
I've been hurt so many times before (oh-oh)
So my darlin', I will never leave you (oh-oh)
It's in my blood to always love you more (oh-oh)
Love you more (oh-oh)

It's my heart again (oh-oh)
That drives me so wild (oh-oh)
I just can't explain (oh-oh)
Although I'm not a child (oh-oh)

So why would I cry if you ever left me? (oh-oh)
Maybe 'cause you're all I'm livin' for (oh-oh)
With every heartbeat I want you madly (oh-oh)
It's in my blood to always love you more (oh-oh)
Love you more (oh-oh)

Oh, my love again (oh-oh)
What I say is true (oh-oh)
Though it may sound plain (oh-oh)
I love you

And it means more to me than life can offer (oh-oh)
And if this isn't true love then I am sure (oh-oh)




That after this love there'll be no other (oh-oh)
Until the razor cuts

Overall Meaning

The Buzzcocks's song "Love You More" is a wonderful expression of unconditional love. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has fallen in love again and is completely consumed by the feeling. This time, the singer is sure that it's true love and they never want to leave their beloved. They've been hurt before and never want to end up like a "nine-day wonder" - a fleeting fling or an ephemeral relationship. The singer is ready to commit themselves to their beloved completely and pledges to always adore them more and more.


The song reveals an intense passion and devotion that's hard to find in a relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's in my blood to always love you more" and emphasizes the overwhelming emotions that the singer is feeling. These lines evoke the idea that the singer's love is more of an innate biological response rather than a practical or rational one. The song's overall message is simple yet beautiful: that love is something that can't be measured, but it's undeniably palpable.

@BoudicaJ

​@@singmetosleepidontwanttowa7492 hahah that was epic. I LOVE Pete. Always have. The one time I saw...Them live I literally stared into his eyes continually, only once did they slip off him and that was when someone was fighting next to me. I know He was aware of my incessant stare and I think I made him uncomfortable, I WAS pretty intense. But I had to, just had to. Been my fave band for almost 40 years <3 and I got my moneys' worth <3 <3 <3
Buzzers forever and ever my band. Always xxx
