The Look of Love
Unrequited Melodies: A Glimpse into the Heartache of Love
Lyrics
Look at the way he looks at her
Observing the way a man gazes at a woman
Look at the way he smiles
Noting the manner in which he smiles
I remember when he was mine
Recalling a time when he was romantically involved with the speaker
I remember when things were fine
Reflecting on a period when their relationship was going well
Oh, look at the way he looks at her now
Highlighting the current way he looks at another woman
Isn't that the look of love?
Pondering if the observed look signifies love
Look at the way he holds her hand
Examining the manner in which he holds her hand
Look at the way they dance
Observing their dance and connection
I remember when he loved me
Recalling a time when he was in love with the speaker
I remember how it used to be
Recollecting how their relationship used to be
But look at the way he smiles at her now
Noting his current smile directed at another woman
Isn't that the look of love?
Questioning if this smile indicates love
Here I am, all by myself
Expressing the speaker's solitude
Watching him with someone else
Watching him romantically involved with someone else
And he doesn't even know I'm here
Pointing out his unawareness of the speaker's presence
Wish I could hold back my tears, 'cause
Expressing a desire to withhold tears
Look at the way he's kissing her
Observing the way he kisses the other woman
Look at him hold her tight
Noticing his tight embrace of her
I remember his warm embrace
Recalling the warmth of his past embrace
And the tender look on his face
Remembering the tender look on his face in the past
Yes, look at the way he looks at her now
Highlighting the current way he looks at another woman
Isn't that the look of love?
Pondering if the observed look signifies love
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Background vocalizations expressing emotion
Isn't that the look of love?
Reiteration of the question about the look of love
Whoa, oh, oh
Exclamation emphasizing the question
Isn't that the look of love?
Reiteration of the question about the look of love
Hey, hey, hey
Expressive interjection
Isn't that the look of love?
Reiteration of the question about the look of love
Oh, whoa now
Expressing emotion about the observed look of love
Isn't that the look of love?
Final emphasis on the perceived look of love
