Who Do You Love
chris falson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's in all the daily papers and the news at night
A day without it mentioned you'll never find
Some say money makes your world go round
If you work real hard night and day
Learn to sow some seed and put some away
You'll have something for that rainy day
But tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Tell me, who do you love?
It puts food on the table and it pays the rent
And sometimes you know it must be heaven sent
But with or without, rich or poor
Can you tell me who you're working for
Buy a 747 or a TV station
You need a lotta cash to take this nation
Yeah money ain't that bad
But don't let me hear you say
Money makes your world go round
But tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Tell me, who do you love?
The lyrics to Chris Falson's song "Who Do You Love?" touches on society's infatuation with money and its value in one's life. Falson highlights how money has become a common topic of conversation and is frequently discussed in the media. It drives people's ambitions and many people perceive it as the ultimate means to a happy life. The first stanza addresses the omnipresence of money in our lives, while the following stanzas focus on the importance and benefits it brings.
However, the chorus, "who do you love?" seems to juxtapose the idea that money is the most crucial aspect of one's life by asking us to reflect upon the relationships we value. The bridge attempts to distinguish the significance of money and love by mentioning that money can meet our basic needs, but it is important to know who we are working for and what we are working towards. It reminds us that we cannot purchase the people we love and the happiness they bring.
Overall, Falson delivers an insightful critique of society's values and provokes listeners to contemplate where they stand in the relationship between love and money.
