"For Love" by Herman's Hermits is a song about the universal human desire for love and the pitfalls that can come with it. The lyrics describe the feeling of being out at night, with a hunger or appetite for love that seems to be shared by everyone on the streets. The song warns against being fooled by someone's love, as it can never truly be won and can lead to wasteful spending and disappointment. The lyrics also touch on the idea of the influence of status and material possessions in the pursuit of love, with "influential people" in their fancy cars trying to keep up with the trend. However, in the end, love can be found in unexpected places and moments, such as when a girl walks by and catches the attention of a passerby. Overall, "For Love" is a nostalgic, upbeat song that captures the timeless search for connection and affection.
