She loves You

“She loves You” is a song written and sung by the Beatles in 1964. Majority of the song

is saying “she loves you”. This song is a great example of love languages and the Greek love

languages. The listeners are hearing the love language of words of affirmation. Words of

affirmation are words describing your love for a person. Constantly hearing she loves you is

physically telling the listener they love them. Another example from the song includes “Well, I

saw her yesterday, it's you she's thinking of, and she told me what to say, she says she loves

you.” The lady in the song is telling the listener words of affirmation. Reminding the listener she

loves you and is thinking about you.

The Greek love language is also heard and shown in the song. Ludas, Pragma, and

storage. Ludas is being playful and flirtatious. Pragma is affectionate and friendly. Storage is

unconditional family love. Ludas like words of affirmation can be shown when the song is

constantly saying “She loves you”. She loves you and can also be taken playfully. It is like a

child picking off the pedals of a flower and getting told “she loves you” and celebrating. Pragma

is shown when the singers are telling the listener that she loves them and she is committed to this

relationship. In the song it says “She almost lost her mind, but now she says she knows, you're

not the hurtin' kind.” The pragma is strong in these few sentences because the lady is showing

how committed she is to the relationship. Storage is shown when the “she” in the chorus isn't

described as a girl friend, she could be a mother, grandmother, or even female figure. This could

be an unconditional family love.
