Not for All the Love in the World Lyrics
You show your age
When you drown your rage,
But I see past those laughter lines.
So baby lets spread tonight,
I got a tank full of gas to light,
We could drive for miles and miles,
You just say.
Not for all the love in the world,
Not for all the love in the world.
But she didn't realize that that's a lot of love.
Pipe dreams fade,
And all the underdogs get laid.
Left you heart in the hands
Of a juggling clown.
So you crave recognition,
But the keys to the city went missing,
People aren't puzzles to be figured out,
You just say.
Not for all the love in the world,
Not for all the love in the world.
Cause she didn't realize now that's a lot of love.
I guess that everybody,
Went to a better party.
Not for all the love in the world,
Not for all the love in the world.
But she didn't realize now that's a lot of love.
When you drown your rage,
But I see past those laughter lines.
So baby lets spread tonight,
I got a tank full of gas to light,
We could drive for miles and miles,
You just say.
Not for all the love in the world.
But she didn't realize that that's a lot of love.
And all the underdogs get laid.
Left you heart in the hands
Of a juggling clown.
So you crave recognition,
But the keys to the city went missing,
People aren't puzzles to be figured out,
You just say.
Not for all the love in the world.
Cause she didn't realize now that's a lot of love.
Went to a better party.
Not for all the love in the world.
But she didn't realize now that's a lot of love.

Pipe dreams are hopes that we don't truly believe will happen. He hurt her badly and is trying to make amends, but she won't even hear him out. He underappreciates her and he realizes that (the keys to the city went missing), but she reads too much into things and just doesn't get that people sometimes do bad things without alterior motives. He knows her intimately (like how he knows that she just masks her anger with laughter) and realizes that even though she is pissed at him, she really can't mean the hurtful things she is telling him.
wow. .thanks so much. .everything you said makes perfect sense
one love
the video is gorgeous
must you be so childish in your comments?
i reaaaally like this song. what is it about? he wants this girl and she says "no, not for all the love in the world."? but then he is like "hey thats a lot of love. .are you sure?" is that what its about? id enjoy your feedback kind people!
what are "pipe dreams"?
what's the last part. .guess everybody went to a better party? like she went to someone else?
hmm. my interpretation is that this song is about rejection. the woman in the song has been hurt in the past and has become jaded about love "Pipe dreams fade, / and all the underdogs get laid. / Left your heart in the hands of a jugglin clown."
now that the singer is trying to open her up and asking for a chance, she says, "Not for all the love in the world." meaning she's given up on love and even all the love in the world isn't enough for her to put her heart on the line again.
First of all I think he is saying he knows how she(?) really feels "I see past those laughter lines", and is also telling her how he can take her away from it all "so baby, lets split tonight, I got a tank full of gas to light, yeah we can drive for miles and miles".
Then I believe he states he knows, she wants to be wanted, "so you crave recognition, but the keys to the city were missing" but she doesn't notice his offer.
In the end I think he is saying that she moved on, "I guess that everybody, went to a better party" in the search for something better.
