All You Need Is Love

The Beatles

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

There's nothin' you can do that can't be done
Nothin' you can sing that can't be sung
Nothin' you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Nothin' you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothin' you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothin' you can know that isn't known
Nothin' you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Yee-hay (love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
Yesterday
(Love is all you need)
Oh
Love is all you need
Love is all you need (oh yeah)
Love is all you need
(She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)
(Love is all you need)

    General CommentThe line "There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you meant to be" gives me peace of mind in times of trouble...because it tells me that not everything is just left up to chance...we have a higher purpose. Nothing is a coincidence.

    General Commentin a time when the bands like the Rolling Stones were writing songs like Street Fighting Man and Paint it Black which were anti-vietnam songs (dont get me wrong, i think those songs are great), those songs merely stated the problem. The Beatles wrote this song which states the solution, all you need is love. This is just one reason why they are the greatest band ever.

    General Comment"There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done."
    "There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made."
    "Nothing you can see that isn’t shown."

    people think they're powerful but they have limits. you cant do anything special. you cant do anything impossible. You are limited by reality. whats special about winning a gold medal? its not like you did the impossible you just did what was possible. figure out a science formula its know great achevment. if it wasnt possible to figure it out you never would have.

    achevments are nothing all you need is to enjoy life and love. being happy is all that matters.

    General CommentWhen I was a young hippy living in Tenby, I remember seeing "All You Need Is Love Is All You Need" painted on a wall. I thought that was kinda cool.

    General Commentthe whole song is great, and was perfectly chosen as the athmen of the new millenium here in the UK. also love the effective use of the beginning of the French national anthem as the intro to the song and also the end where u hear Paul getting a little too happy shall we say and start to sing another great song of theirs 'She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah!'

    General Commentthis song is just staying the obvious love is everything,its the purpose of life its self.
    i believe when Paul starts singing "she loves yeah,yeah,yeah",he stumpled into the recording session a wee bit to drunk-j/k,that would be impossible considering they recorded it on live television.

    General CommentI really love the ending , when paul sings " she loves you ,yeah, yeah yeah." Thats so cool. This song also makes me think of a guy that that got away from me. This is his favorite beatles song. Hey Jason , where ever you are.

    General CommentMy favorite part is "No one you can save that can’t be saved. " this is so true. This song is very relaxing and comforting. In times of stress I like listening to it

    General CommentI agree mostly with what everyone here is saying. It is basically conveying the whole beatles message. Reminds me a lot of The Word- the word is love. It's all that matters in the end. Speaking of in the end, the love you take is equal to the love that you make. That's what I get from all of this. Same with the everybody and all together now parts.
    And when paul comes in with she loves you, it's perfect.
