Silly Love Songs

Average song rating One of Wings' greatest hits and rightly so. Silly Love Songs almost carries the weight of the complete album on its own. I have heard this song, like Let 'Em In, hundreds of times, but it's still pretty good. Brass and strings at 0.58 are wonderful. Paul sweeps the floor with his critics in this song and he does it in a way that earns my respect. Great drumming by Joe from 3.10, together with Paul's simple but very effective bass. The brass entering once again at 3.41 has always been a highlight to me. Nice cross of the harmonies. The only thing I can object is that it's a bit too long. Bobber April 11, 2012
Average song rating I've had quite a change of heart with this song...during the 1970's it represented the nadir of Paul's descent into mindless pop. I have come around to liking this song, particularly the "middle" part when he duets with Linda. What can you say? Paul liked writing these kinds of songs, and no one ever did it better.

Lyrics

You'd think that people would have had enought of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you.

I can't explain the feeling's plain to me; say can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can't you see, what's wrong with that
I need to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you.

Love doesn't come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?
(i love you)
How can I tell you about my loved one?
(i love you)...
