Lyrics
Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
Love is a concoction created by reckless individuals
And it takes two and it takes two
Emphasizes the collaborative nature of love
Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue
Love is unpredictable and can arise unexpectedly
And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do
When love takes hold, it is powerful and uncontrollable
Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
Reiteration of love as a product of careless actions
And it takes two and it takes two
Reiteration of the collaborative aspect of love
Don’t let me down love
Expression of a plea or expectation not to be disappointed in love
I will stand up for you
Commitment to support and defend the partner
When you hold me like you do
Feeling a deep connection when embraced by the partner
I’m right here next to you
Being physically close to the partner
But I don’t want to stay if you carelessly play with my heart
Reluctance to stay in a relationship where the heart is played with carelessly
Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
Reiteration of love as a result of thoughtless actions
And it takes two and it takes two
Emphasis on the collaborative nature of love
Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue
Underlining the unpredictability of love
And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do
Highlighting the irresistible nature of love's influence
I will stand up for you
Reiteration of commitment to support and defend the partner
When you hold me like you do
Feeling a deep connection when embraced by the partner (repeated)
I’m right here next to you
Being physically close to the partner (repeated)
But I don’t want to stay if you carelessly play with my heart
Reluctance to stay in a relationship where the heart is played with carelessly (repeated)
Love is a potion mixed up by careless fools
Reiteration of love as a product of careless actions (repeated)
And it takes two and it takes two
Reiteration of the collaborative aspect of love (repeated)
Love isn’t certain, it comes right out the blue
Re-emphasis on the unpredictability of love (repeated)
And when she casts her spell, there’s nothing you can do
Reiteration of the powerful and uncontrollable nature of love (repeated)
