Discover the story of the song > Love Is A Verb – John Mayer

The song is about how love is not just a thing or a feeling, but it's something you do. The protagonist doesn't need his partner to constantly say "I love you" because love is shown through actions like kindness and care. Love also cannot be sustained with empty promises and it's not a form of escape. The refrain is repeated multiple times to emphasize that love requires consistent effort and action.
