Love Isn't a Right Lyrics
Love isn't a right, it's got to be earned
Love isn't a rite that's got to be learned
Maybe you spend your natural life,
Loving husband, or loving wife
Were you loving, and was your love returned?
Love's nobody's fool, and nobody's slave
Love won't go to school, and learn to behave
Ride your love on an easy rein,
If love can go, it comes back again
Love will haunt us from cradle to the grave
Love's a whisper, love's a shout
Love's a flame that could blow out
Love's all beauty, but make it a duty
And love will lie right down and die
Love, love is a germ you'll never resist
Love, love's the eternal will-o'-the-wisp
Follow him through the darkest day,
Love will glimmer and light your way
But grab at him, and he flickers away out of sight
Love's enchanted, don't take it for granted
For love isn't a right
Love isn't a rite that's got to be learned
Maybe you spend your natural life,
Loving husband, or loving wife
Were you loving, and was your love returned?
Love won't go to school, and learn to behave
Ride your love on an easy rein,
If love can go, it comes back again
Love will haunt us from cradle to the grave
Love's a flame that could blow out
Love's all beauty, but make it a duty
And love will lie right down and die
Love, love's the eternal will-o'-the-wisp
Follow him through the darkest day,
Love will glimmer and light your way
But grab at him, and he flickers away out of sight
For love isn't a right

sokorny, if you have read the lyrics, you must have notice that it’s self-explanatory; but, here I go: this days, people have the horrible tendency to think that they deserve everything, including love. We see it in movies, in publicity, well, everywhere. But, as the beginning of the song says: “Love isn’t a right, it has to be earned”. I know, each verse put the subject in a different situation concerning love and the way he/she may be experiencing it, but in the end, the truth is that without love, we are nothing; just empty and rotten bodies of flesh....
sokorny, if you have read the lyrics, you must have notice that it’s self-explanatory; but, here I go: this days, people have the horrible tendency to think that they deserve everything, including love. We see it in movies, in publicity, well, everywhere. But, as the beginning of the song says: “Love isn’t a right, it has to be earned”. I know, each verse put the subject in a different situation concerning love and the way he/she may be experiencing it, but in the end, the truth is that without love, we are nothing; just empty and rotten bodies of flesh. That said, people still keep thinking they deserve to be loved anyway and anyhow; if you want to be love, you have to love first. The Bible say “Faith without works is dead”. Before it says that only three things remain: “faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love”. So, love also needs works to be proved. It something that you have to win, not something that you deserve. Well, sokorny, that’s what the song means to me. I’m sorry if there are holes and bad written phrases, but english is not my maternal language.
