About The Song
“Hello, I Love You” is a classic rock anthem by the American band, The Doors. Released in 1968 as the lead single from their second album, Waiting for the Sun, the song quickly became a chart-topper, reaching number one in both the United States and Canada.
The song’s driving rhythm, infectious melody, and Jim Morrison’s enigmatic vocals make it a timeless piece of rock music. The lyrics, written by Morrison, are open to interpretation but often suggest a search for connection and a desire to escape the mundane. The repeated phrase “Hello, I love you” creates a hypnotic and almost pleading quality.
“Hello, I Love You” showcases The Doors’ signature blend of blues, jazz, and psychedelic rock. The song’s arrangement features Robby Krieger’s distinctive guitar riffs, John Densmore’s propulsive drumming, and Ray Manzarek’s distinctive organ sound. The combination of these elements creates a powerful and energetic sound that has captivated audiences for decades.

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Hello, I love you
Won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She’s walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you’ll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you
Won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won’t you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see you, fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, hello, hello, hello
