Where's All the Love
Searching for Love: Rick Springfield's Quest for True Connection
Lyrics
My love, I was talking with a new friend
Expressing a conversation with a new friend about love.
And she seemed to understand all my pain
Acknowledging the friend's understanding of personal pain.
She said, " I'll make you feel alright,
Friend promises to bring comfort and make things better.
And we won't talk of money 'til the morning light"
Agreement to avoid discussing money until the next day.
And as I rose to leave her she said'
Leaving the friend, who apologizes and mentions her own livelihood.
"I'm sorry Blue, I've got to make my living too"
Friend regrets having to earn a living, addressing the speaker as "Blue."
And then she turned away
The friend turns away, possibly indicating a reluctant departure.
Where's all the love they sing about in all those love songs?
Raising a question about the absence of love mentioned in songs.
Where's all the love they talk about in all those movies?
Expressing disappointment in the disparity between love in movies and reality.
I'd be your fool if only I could find you
Willing to be a fool for love if only it could be found.
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Repeating the question about the whereabouts of love.
I lived in a mirrored resemblance of another phase...
Living a life that reflects another era or experience.
And I miss you more and more but I go on
Expressing increasing longing for someone despite moving forward.
Living other people's lives and drifting in and out
Living vicariously through others, particularly lawyers' wives.
Of bed with lawyers' wives
Indicating a pattern of relationships and experiences.
And all the time I know just what I'm looking for
Knowing what the speaker is looking for in relationships.
'Cause once you lead me to the door
Referring to a past encounter that led to a metaphorical door.
But I was turned away
Being rejected despite reaching the metaphorical door.
Where's all the love they sing about in all those love songs?
Reiterating the question about the absence of love in songs.
Where's all the love they talk about in all those movies?
Expressing disillusionment with the love depicted in movies.
I'd be your fool if only I could find you...
Willing to be a fool for love, emphasizing the search for it.
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Repeating the question about the whereabouts of love.
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Continuing to ask where love is, suggesting an ongoing search.
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Reiterating the persistent question about the absence of love.
