You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs
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 feelings plain to me.
Now, can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me.
Now, can't you see?
And 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?
How can I tell you about my loved one?
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I can't explain the feelings plain to me.
Say, can't you see?
Ah, he gave me more he gave it all to me.
Say, can't you see?
I can't explain the feelings plain to me.
Say, can't you see?
Ah, he gave me more he gave it all to me.
Say, can't you see?
I can't explain the feelings plain to me.
Say can't you see.
Ah, he gave me more he gave it all to me.
Say can't you see.
You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs.
Well I look around me and I see it isn't so. Oh, no.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?

McCartney had often been teased by music critics as well as former Beatle and friend, John Lennon, for writing lightweight songs and he wrote this number in response.
Linda McCartney and Denny Laine can be heard chanting "I Love You" during the bridge.
Not unlike "Goodnight Tonight", another of McCartney's singles from the era, the instrumentation in Silly Love Songs features a distinct disco flavour. Both "Silly Love Songs" and "Goodnight Tonight" appear again on McCartney's second greatest hits compilation, All the Best!.
In 2005, the song was sampled in Jenn Cuneta's Come Rain, Come Shine.
In 2008, the song was listed at #31 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All Time, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
