Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say, but you can learn
How to play the game
It's easy.
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing 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.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.

There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing 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

(Yesterday)
(Oh yeah)
(She love you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(She love you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh, yesterday)

    General Comment:My all time fave Beatles song!
    My birthday is 6/15/67....this song was recorded the day before I was born.
    The day after I was born, the Monterey Pop Festival began!
    I'm proud to say that I was born in the Summer of Love!!!!

    My Interpretation:Pretty much all the Beatles' songs became really clear as far as meaning after reading "The Present" at truthcontest.com. There's a reason why it sounds like they're talking *to* you ;)

    General Comment:I've always felt that the lyrics in the verses suggest that being ambitious and achieving things iis overrated and not as important as finding real love.
    I think that there are three key words missing in the lyrics but implied in the sentiment: Those words are "By someone else..."

    So in my mind what John Lennon is trying to say is:

    There's nothing you can do that can't be done...by someone else.
    Nothing you can sing that can't be sung...by someone else.
    There's nothing you can make that can't be made...by someone else.
    No one you can save that can't be saved...by someone else.
    There's nothing you can know that isn't known...by someone else.
    Nothing you can show that can't be shown...by someone else.

    But what you can put your efforts into is:
    Learning how "to be you in time"...accept where "you're meant to be...and embrace the notion that "all you need is love."

    General Comment:Were Lennon and McCartney spending too much time hanging around the Redundancy Department of Redundancy when they wrote this?

    There's nothing you can make that can't be made.

    Really? Never knew that.

    General Comment:This song is so fantastic. The Beatles are definitely the best band who ever lived. Even though it's a fairly happy song, it makes me cry because we live in a world full of war and hatred and greed, but if everyone could just realise that 'all you need is love', the world would be a much better and happier place. My friend said it the best - the meaning of life is love, because without it, we'd all kill ourselves.
    All you need is love.
