You've Got Love
The Crickets/Buddy Holly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got one heart I wish was mine
Love, sweet love, you've got love
I've got two arms that you could use
To make me lose my blues
Love, sweet love, you've got love
You've got love, sweet love
You've got love that is true
I want only you
You got two eyes so you can see
Your love was meant for me
Love, sweet love, you got love
You've got love, real love
You've got love, sweet love
You've got me in a spin
I love this spin I'm in
You got two eyes so you can see
Your love was meant for me
Love, sweet love, you got love
These lyrics are a testament to the power of love and the longing for someone who possesses it. The singer is admiring the physical attributes of their love interest; their lips, heart, and eyes. However, it is not just the physical characteristics that draw the singer in, it is the fact that this person has real, sweet, and true love. The singer wants this love and only desires the person who possesses it.
The second verse shows the singer's vulnerability in their desire for this person. They offer up their own arms to this person in hopes of receiving love in return, and to help them overcome their blues. The repetition of the phrase "love, sweet love, you've got love" emphasizes how important love is to the singer and how much they desire it. The song ends with a repetition of the idea that this person's love was meant for the singer.
Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of longing, desire, and vulnerability in the face of love. The singer acknowledges that love is powerful and desired, but it is also somewhat out of their control. The repetition of the theme of "love, sweet love" drives home the importance of this emotion and the desire for it.

It was a tragedy Buddy , Richie Valens all perished in that February, 1959 crash. Had Buddy lived , without doubt he would have been a megastar....His music influenced many groups over the years...
