Love Grows
The Service Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She ain't got no money, clothes are kinda funny
Hair is kinda wild and free
Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

She talks kinda lazy, people say she's crazy
And her life's a mystery
Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine, and I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell, and it's working so well
I can't stay away

I'm a lucky fella, I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

There's something about her hand holding mine
It's a feeling that's fine, and I just gotta say
She's really got a magical spell, it's working so well
I can't stay away, hey

I'm a lucky fella, I've just got to tell her
That I love her endlessly
Because love grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

Love Grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
Love Grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me
Love Grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me




Because love Grows where my Rosemary goes
And nobody knows like me

Line by Line Meaning

She ain't got no money, clothes are kinda funny
My Rosemary may not have much wealth or fashion sense


Hair is kinda wild and free
She doesn't conform to society's expectations for a woman's hair


Oh, but love grows where my Rosemary goes
But I find that love thrives wherever Rosemary is present


And nobody knows like me
I'm the only one who truly understands our love


She talks kinda lazy, people say she's crazy
My Rosemary speaks in a relaxed manner which some mistake for eccentricity


And her life's a mystery
Her past and inner thoughts are unknown to most


There's something about her hand holding mine
There's an indescribable feeling when we hold hands


It's a feeling that's fine, and I just gotta say
It's a wonderful sensation that I can't help but express


She's really got a magical spell, and it's working so well
My Rosemary has an enchanting quality that has won me over


I can't stay away
I'm drawn to her and can't resist being close to her


I'm a lucky fella, I've just got to tell her
I feel fortunate to have her in my life and must express my gratitude


That I love her endlessly
My love for her is infinite


Love Grows where my Rosemary goes
Love flourishes wherever Rosemary is


And nobody knows like me
My love for her is unique and cannot be replicated
