It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now, here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You saved my life again
And I want you to know, baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (oh
I, I love you like a love song, baby (oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (oh)
And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free, I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are, and I want you to know, baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (oh)
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you, I love you, like a love song)
And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you, I love you)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (like a love song, like a love song)
And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you, love song, baby)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you, love song, baby)
I, I love you like a love song, baby (I love you, I love you)
Like a love song

    This actually makes me think of my own boyfriend. I adore music, more than anything on this earth, because it makes me feel good inside. No matter the tune, the melody, the mood, a song can put me in a good mood and mindset. Music's helped me through thick and thin, pulled me out of writer's block, and urged me when I was stuck deep in my writing ruts. It reminds me of good times and old song bring up memories from when I was a kid. Music's just always been there for me.

    So far, nothing else has ever made me feel this way. Besides him. Yeah, this sounds REALLY sappy, but it's true. He's my music, my love song. <3 He's the first guy to actually get to me like this. I wouldn't call it love, not yet, but it's definitely getting there. :)

    I love this song more than ever.

    It sounds to me like whoever wrote it just slapped a bunch of words generally related to love together into a rhyming mess, without real attention or focus. "I am hypnotized by your destiny" doesn't make sense. Really? She's hypnotized by his destiny? Sure, it sounds nice at first. But really. REALLY.

    "And I guess right now here's another one So your melody will play on and on With the best of them" So your melody will play on and on with the best of them. Selena (or whoever the writer is) seems to be struggling to come up with lyrics that have any coherence to them at all. Yeah, they sound pleasant and yeah, it's a catchy song (although the music accompaniment sounds awful). But the lyrics don't have "meaning" other than superficial words imposed on a superficial song to try and portray Selena Gomez as deeper than she really is.

    Song Meaning

    This song is about commitment issues. The chorus says says that they "love you like a love song". Selena Gomez or (the narrator of the song) fails to attach a specific meaning to the love that they have to the individual. Compared to another song such as "Sweet Caroline" or another song where the person who is loved's name is sung in the song, showing their complete love and devotion to the individual. Yet, Gomez can't attach this significance and rather simply says "they love them like a love song". This is also suggested in the first lines of the song "It's been said and done Every beautiful thought's been already sung And I guess right now here's another one". Gomez seems to be bored with the thought of loving someone, and can not find any uniqueness in the love that she feels for the person she loves.

    The song suggests commitment issues by the fact that she keeps hitting "repeat". This means that she has been in several relationships before, playing the same love song only to fall in love with another person, repeating the process. If she truly loved only one person, then she would of chosen the words "and I don't want this song to end" or something to that effect.

    The song does have evidence showing she is in love with the unknown person. However, one of the final lines, "You stand alone, to every record I own" suggests that although she loves the person as an individual, she still has other records that she loves or has loved. Reinforcing the repeating nature of the love, and the fact that she probably will add new records to her collection. Overall, showing that she does not have the ability to truly connect to only one love and keeps repeating because of her boredom or the fact that she truly hasn't found the right one to write a real love song about.

    according to the video: It's about meeting a girl and dreaming after that. and It seems she is agreed with everybody, because she said: It's been said and done Every beautiful thought's been already sung And I guess right now here's another one . .

    .

    I believed selena loves herself too much.

    Honestly, this is dumbest simile ever: "love you like a love song." How can you have a comparison between two subjects when both subjects contain the same word in them? In other words, you can't understand the word "love" better through the phrase "love song."

    This is just another example of the music industry making a catchy song with horrible lyrics in order to attract its listeners (which it does pretty well because of its beat).

    Whatever meaning this song has, it is clouded by the horrible repetitive simile that makes absolutely no coherent sense.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
