I Love to Love
Virginia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you
I love how you miss me

I love the way you always kid me tenderly
But darling, most of all
I love how you love me
(Love how you love me)

I love how your heart beats
Whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me
Without being told to

I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darling, most of all
I love how you love me
(Love how you love me)

I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
And when I'm away from you
I love how you miss me

I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But darling, most of all
I love how you love me
(Love how you love me)

I love how you love me
(Love how you love me)

I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me, love
How you love me




I love how you love me
I love how you love me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Virginia's song "I Love to Love" speak to the complexities and contradictions of love and peace. The first two verses express a desire for a peaceful life, without suffering, tears, or the need to give oneself fully to another person. However, the chorus reveals that suffering, tears, and desire are necessary components of love's expression. The third verse suggests that the world is deceiving in its definition of peace; peace does not necessarily mean love.


The fourth and fifth verses express a sense of resignation towards love, as if it is something that one must endure, even if it causes pain. The phrase "tempo de amor" (time of love) being equated with "tempo de dor" (time of pain) illustrates this point. The second half of the fifth verse is a stark warning against the dangers of protecting oneself from love, as it leads to regret and conformity.
