The Look Of Love
the abc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And gravity won't pull you through
You know you're missing out on something
Well that something depends on you
All I'm saying
It takes a lot to love you
All I'm doing
All I mean now
There's one thing yes one thing
That turns this gray sky to blue
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye)
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams
Your reason for living's, your reason for leaving
Don't ask me what it means
(Who got the look)
I don't know the answer to that question
(Where's the look)
If I knew I would tell you
What's the look
Look for your information
Yes there's one thing, the one thing
That still holds true
(What's that)
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
(That's the look, that's the look)
The look of love
If you judge a book by the cover
Then you judge the look by the lover
I hope you'll soon recover
Me I go from one extreme to another
And all my friends just might ask me
They say, "Martin, maybe one day you'll find true love"
And I say, maybe there must be a solution to
The one thing, the one thing we can't find
(That's the look, that's the look)
Sisters and brothers
(That's the look, that's the look)
Should help each other
(That's the look, that's the look)
Heavens above
(That's the look, that's the look)
Hip hip hooray aye
(That's the look, that's the look)
Yippie aiy yippee yaye
(That's the look, that's the look)
Be lucky in love
Look of love
The lyrics of ABC's song "The Look of Love" explore the idea of love being able to change even the most difficult and unpleasant situations. The opening lines talk about being surrounded by strange arrangements and gravity failing to pull through, which could metaphorically refer to feeling lost and powerless. The lyrics then suggest that "something" is missing and it depends on the listener to find it. This "something," in the context of the song, is love. The chorus then repeats "The Look of Love," emphasizing the importance of this feeling.
The second verse talks about the aftermath of a breakup and dreams falling apart at the seams, implying that love can cause as much pain as it does happiness. The refrain "That's the look, that's the look" then comes in, questioning what exactly is the "look of love." The answer is not revealed, but the lyrics suggest it is something that can still be found despite difficult times.
The final verses are a mix of personal reflection and encouragement for others to find love. The line "If you judge a book by the cover, then you judge the look by the lover" implies that one should look past the surface and truly understand what love means. The song ends with a hopeful message of "sisters and brothers" helping each other and being lucky in love.
Line by Line Meaning
When your world is full of strange arrangements
When your life is full of unfamiliar obstacles and situations
And gravity won't pull you through
And you feel like you're struggling to keep going
You know you're missing out on something
You sense that there is something more to life
Well that something depends on you
But it's up to you to figure out what that something is
All I'm saying
I'm just expressing my thoughts
It takes a lot to love you
Loving you is a challenge, but worth it
All I'm doing
I'm simply living my life
You know it's true
And you know deep down that I'm being honest
All I mean now
What I'm trying to say is
There's one thing yes one thing
There's one key element
That turns this gray sky to blue
That can bring positivity to your life
(That's the look, that's the look)
That's the way it appears
The look of love
It's the gaze of affection
When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye)
When your partner has left you heartbroken
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams
And your aspirations crumble
Your reason for living's, your reason for leaving
Your motivation to move on and your motivation to give up both exist
Don't ask me what it means
I can't explain it
(Who got the look)
(Who has the right approach)
I don't know the answer to that question
I wish I knew
(Where's the look)
(Where can we find it)
If I knew I would tell you
If I had the answers, I'd share them
What's the look
What does it mean
Look for your information
Find out for yourself
Yes there's one thing, the one thing
There is one thing that matters
That still holds true
That remains accurate
(What's that)
(What is it)
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
The look of love
It's the gaze of affection
If you judge a book by the cover
If you judge someone based on their appearance
Then you judge the look by the lover
Then you're judging the appearance based on the person wearing it
I hope you'll soon recover
I hope you'll soon feel better
Me I go from one extreme to another
As for me, I go from one situation to another
And all my friends just might ask me
And my friends may ask me
They say, "Martin, maybe one day you'll find true love"
They suggest that maybe I will find genuine affection someday
And I say, maybe there must be a solution to
And I say, there must be a way to fix
The one thing, the one thing we can't find
The one element that we can't seem to discover
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
Sisters and brothers
Men and women alike
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
Should help each other
Should assist each other
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
Heavens above
Heavenly powers
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
Hip hip hooray aye
Hooray!
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
Yippie aiy yippee yaye
Hooray!
(That's the look, that's the look)
(That's how it appears)
Be lucky in love
Fortunate in finding genuine love
Look of love
It's the gaze of affection
