Love Makes The World Go Round
Hollies · Other Songs - Hollies
Love makes the world go round and around
Love makes you feel three feet off the ground
Love makes the world go round
You should know it's happened before
You should have known what was in store
You should know not to do it encore
You should have known before
You did it your way it never worked out
Mr. Right turned out Mr. Wrong
You won't change your ways because you believe
In love is where you belong
You did it your way it never worked out
Mr. Right turned out Mr. Wrong
You won't change your ways because you believe
In love is where you belong
Can't you see, love's thrown out of the door
Can't you see, no one love anymore
Can't you see, my world's on the floor
Without love can the world go round
And around, and around, and around, and around
Without love (without love) can the world go round (yeah )
Love Makes The World Go Round
Hollies' 1964 hit 'Love Makes The World Go Round' stands as a quintessential example of British Invasion pop, blending upbeat rhythms with heartfelt lyrics about the transformative power of affection. Recorded during the group's peak era, the track showcases the band's signature vocal harmonies and polished production that defined the mid-1960s sound. While the song did not achieve the massive commercial success of their chart-topping number one, 'The Battle of Liverpool,' it remains a cherished track within their discography, reflecting the optimistic romanticism characteristic of the period. The recording captures the essence of the era's youth culture and the enduring appeal of simple, melodic pop music that prioritized emotional resonance over complex instrumentation.
