Love
Young And Beautiful Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the first 12" I made to the colour of my underwear
Ooh you know, you really, really know
Inside, outside in, from head to toe
But where were you in the colder days?
I'd like to know, I'd like to know
And where will you be in years to come?
So don't beg and don't plead
You can't have the heart you made bleed
You're in love with fame
So whilst we love, please don't scream my name
You're my friends, my only real friends
But I'd like to know where you'll be when the party ends
I remember your face the dance was slow
"Easy" by The Commodores and you said 'no'
But where were you in colder days?
I'd like to know, I'd like to know
And where will you be in years to come?
I'd like to know, I'd like to know
So here's an invitation to this caring nation
25 years from now will you come my cremation
Sherry or beer, family and friends
Will you be there? Will you be there?
No fame, no fortune, no name in lights
Will you be there? Will you be there?
The lyrics of Love by Young And Beautiful depict the story of a person who is being pursued by someone who claims to care, know, and love them unconditionally. The singer seems hesitant to fully trust their pursuer, questioning where they were during the colder days and where they will be in the future. Despite this, they still consider the pursuer as their only real friends and acknowledge the comfort they bring in the present, but they fear that their affection is only driven by their love for fame.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it serves as a plea from the singer. They implore the pursuer not to beg or plead as it will not mend the heart that has been broken. The singer acknowledges that the pursuer is in love with fame, making their love questionable. However, the singer still asks for discretion, asking the pursuer not to scream their name as they profess their love. The outro of the song, which is a morbid concept, is an invitation to the pursuer to attend their cremation in the future. This is a subtle way of emphasizing the singer's doubts about the pursuer's motives.

Ooh you care, you really, really care
You have always shown a deep and sincere care for me
From the first 12" I made to the colour of my underwear
You know everything about me, from my earliest works to the most intimate details of my life
Ooh you know, you really, really know
You have a profound understanding of who I am, both inside and out
Inside, outside in, from head to toe
You know me thoroughly, from my personality to my physical appearance
But where were you in the colder days?
I wonder where you were when I needed you during difficult times
I'd like to know, I'd like to know
I am genuinely curious and concerned about your whereabouts and intentions
And where will you be in years to come?
I am interested in knowing how far our relationship will go and how much it will last
So don't beg and don't plead
I don't want you to desperately ask for my love or attention
You can't have the heart you made bleed
You hurt me too much to fully have my heart back, and I need to protect myself from further pain
You're in love with fame
You are more interested in my public persona and success than in my real self
So whilst we love, please don't scream my name
Even though we may share feelings of love, please don't use me for your personal gain or to boost your celebrity status
You're my friends, my only real friends
I consider you to be true friends, the only ones who care for me beyond my fame
But I'd like to know where you'll be when the party ends
I am curious to see if our relationship will survive the end of my fame and public life
I remember your face the dance was slow
I recall a past moment when we shared a slow dance and our faces were close
"Easy" by The Commodores and you said 'no'
You rejected my invitation to dance when the song "Easy" by The Commodores played
So here's an invitation to this caring nation
I invite you to participate in my life and well-being, which extends beyond my fame and public persona
25 years from now will you come my cremation
I want to know whether our friendship will last even after my death, and if you will pay your respects at my cremation
Sherry or beer, family and friends
I don't care about the material aspects of life, but rather the presence of the people I love around me
Will you be there? Will you be there?
I hope that you will be a part of my life, now and in the future, and show me your true friendship and love
No fame, no fortune, no name in lights
I don't want to be defined by my fame or fortune, but rather by the purity of my true relationships
Will you be there? Will you be there?
I reiterate that I want to know if our friendship is genuine and if you will be a presence in my life, beyond public recognition
