Lyrics for Song: It's Only Love
Lyrics for Album: Anthology [1989]
You can't laugh, you can't cry
Your actin' kinda funny and you don't know why
Cause your heart keeps beatin' like a big bass drum
And the beats gettin' strong and it's so much fun
And you keep on singin' but the words are wrong
And you can't stop laughin', baby what's goin' on
It's only love, tryin' to get trough
It's only love, tryin' to get trough
It's only love, tryin' to get trough
You can't run, you can't hide
No matter what you do your on a ten cent ride
Goin' up, down baby and it's so much fun
And your heart keeps beatin' like a big bass drum
And the beats gettin' strong and it just won't quit
Better hold on baby, cause you know that
It's only love, tryin' to get trough
It's only love, tryin' to get trough
It's only love, tryin' to get trough

It's Only Love
Tommy James and the Shondells' 1968 hit 'It's Only Love' stands as a quintessential example of the mid-60s rock and roll revival. Recorded with a driving rhythm section and James's distinctive falsetto, the track captures the raw energy and youthful exuberance characteristic of the era. Released on their self-titled debut album, the song became a cultural touchstone, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming an enduring staple of classic rock radio. Its catchy melody and relatable lyrics about the fleeting nature of romance cemented the band's status as one of the most influential acts of the decade, paving the way for future generations of rock musicians. |
