We Love You
The Rolling Stones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We don't care if you only love we
We don't care if you only love we
We love you, we love you, and we hope
That you will love we too
We love they, we love they, and
We want you to love they too
Ah
We don't care if you hound we and
Love is all around we
Love can't get our minds off
We love you, we love you

You will never win we
Your uniforms don't fit we
We forget the place we're in
'Cause we love you
We love you, of course, we do

I love you, I love you




And I hope that you won't prove wrong too
We love you, we do, we love you, we do

The chorus "You will never win we/Your uniforms don't fit we/We forget the place we're in/'Cause we love you" is a defiant response to those who are trying to bring the band down. The phrase "your uniforms don't fit we" is a reference to the authoritarian establishment that the band felt they were rebelling against.

"Ti vogliamo bene"

Non ci importa se ami solo "Noi"
Non ci importa se ami solo "Noi"

Ti amiamo, ti amiamo
Ci auguriamo che anche tu amerai "Noi".
Amiamo, 'Loro', amiamo, 'Loro'
Vogliamo che tu ami anche 'Loro'

Non ci importa se perseguiti, "Noi"
E l'amore è tutto intorno, 'Noi'
L'amore non può distogliere la nostra mente
Ti amiamo, ti amiamo

Non vincerai mai, 'Noi'
Le tue divise non si adattano, "Noi"
Dimentichiamo il posto in cui ci troviamo
Perché ti amiamo, ti amiamo ovviamente, lo amiamo

Ti amo ti amo
E spero che anche tu non ti dimostrerai sbagliato
Ti amiamo, ti vogliamo bene
Ti amiamo, ti vogliamo bene

Great song, I liked it since I first heard it in 1967. Underrated. The psychedellic Stones were great even though their blues / rock side has always been their most known aspect. Long Live The Stones!!

@dariowestern

It got to no.8 in the charts, so it isn't underrated. Still a great song.

@paulvon2378

can you hear Paul McCartney and John Lennon on backing vocals?

The climax... those last 40 seconds with Brian Jones Melotron solo is one of the peaks of psychedelia.. BJ was a legend.

BRIAN JONES IS A LEGEND...

@frankfarago2825

Saw Jones on stage at the Palace of Arts and Culture in Warsaw. September 1967 it was. Then by late 1969 -- he was gone. Not sure if I ever recovered.
