Some Kind of Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She found the records lying underneath the bed
All the songs she used to sing
All the songs she used to play
All those words, those melodies
And the promise of some kind of love
And the promise of some kind of love

[Chorus]
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever taste the same
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever feel as good again
Now I know how much the anger, however much the pain
Destroy only enough that enough still remains of
Some kind of love, some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love, some kind of love, some kind of love

[Verse 2]
The songs hadn't changed, every note just the same
But she played them once again
All those words, those melodies
Like better days past and gone, leaving her behind
With the promise of some kind of love
With the promise of some kind of love
[Chorus]
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever taste the same
When we lose what we love
Don't think anything will ever feel as good again
Now I know how much the anger, however much the pain
Destroy only enough that enough still remains of
Some kind of love, some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love, some kind of love, some kind of love
Some kind of love

[Outro]
She put the records back in their place
And straightened her dress, and wiped her face
She closed and locked the door
And left them lying on the floor
And she sang
Mmm, some kind of love, some kind of love
Mmm, mmm, some kind of love, some kind of love
Mmm, mmm, some kind of love, some kind of love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Dido say about "Some Kind of Love"?
Genius Answer

On an interview uploaded to her official YouTube channel, Dido talked about the song’s origin:

“Some Kind of Love” is actually some lyrics of Rollo’s that I found. What I love about Rollo’s lyrics is that they’re just full of images and poetry. I always just see a film when I read his lyrics and this to me is sort of a dusty old movie. It’s quite nostalgic and sort of bittersweet, which a lot of the songs are.
