Some love
You know it brings me down down down
Some love
You know it brings me down down down

They say that love is heaven sent
Well I guess they told another lie
How can it be a part of me
You can’t even look me in my eye

All this time you made a fool of me
You told honey sweet lies
I’m fed up with your alibis
I was blind, now I see, yeah

Let’s end this game, let’s stop this farce
‘Cause I don’t wanna live a lie
Life’s so short, and love’s so sparse
I guess I’ll have to say goodbye
It brings me down down down, yeah
Some love, it brings me down down down

If this is love, I want no part of it
They call this love
Now I’ve got to quit you, baby
If this is love, I want no part of it
They call this love, dirty dirty love
Some love

If this is love don’t break my heart
If this is love don’t want no part
If this is love don’t break my heart
If this is love don’t want no part
If this is love don’t break my heart
If this is love don’t want no part
If this is love don’t break my heart

Some love
Oh first you burn me with desire
Then you go and douse the fire

Some of the lyrics to Some Love have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Chaka Khan and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Some Love if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Some Love" means the words set to the music of Some Love, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Chaka Khan. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Some Love and the lyrics to Some Love are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Chaka Khan who came here looking just for the lyrics to Some Love, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
