Mamas And The Papas, The - For The Love Of Ivy Lyrics






I never thought I'd try for the love of Ivy;
I never thought I'd cry for the love of Ivy.
Somebody hide me from the love, the love of Ivy.
It takes up all of your time to fall in love with Ivy.
(Here cometh Ivy...Ivy)

If I gathered all my means (all my means)
In a pile beside me (in a pile),
It wouldn't help to fill my dreams (fill my dreams)
For the love of Ivy.
Money cannot buy me -
Buy for me the love of Ivy.
I'm not the kind of guy who falls in love with Ivy.

Ivy...
For the love of (Ivy)...for the love of Ivy, yeah.
For the Love of (Ivy)...for the love of Ivy, yeah.
Yeah, for the love of (Ivy)...for the love of Ivy...
Yeah, yeah...
For the love of Ivy...for the love of Ivy...
For the love of Ivy...for the love of Ivy...

If I gathered all my means
In a pile beside me,
It wouldn't help to fill my dreams
For the love of Ivy.
Somebody hide me,
From the love, the love, the love, the love...
It takes up all of your to fall in love with Ivy.

For the love of (Ivy)...for the love of Ivy, yeah.
(For the love of Ivy...)
For the Love of (Ivy)...for the love of Ivy, yeah, yeah.
(For the love of Ivy...)
Yeah, for the love of (Ivy)...for the love of Ivy...
(For the love of Ivy..)
Yeah, yeah...
For the love of Ivy...
(Ivy, darling, darling...)
For the love of Ivy...
(I would surely die for Ivy;
Darling, darling Ivy...)
Ivy, yeah...
For the love Ivy
(Ivy is the one that I adore..)
For the love of Ivy...
Ivy...
For the love of...
For the love of...

Mamas And The Papas, The For The Love Of Ivy Comments
  1. B.... T....

    I wonder who Ivy was?
    Cass was quoted as saying John was at his most obsessive making this track, this whole album. They spent one month recording one section of this song.

    B.... T....

    Hmmm. Ivy Nuff?

    B.... T....

    @sunryse111 That's a brilliant name. 💗

    B.... T....

    ...Seriously? IV - Intravenous. The name Ivy would implicate intravenous drug use in this very instance.

    B.... T....

    @Mic Ku Wow, with all my drug jokes I can't believe I missed that.

    B.... T....

    It was made for a fim theme of the same name.

  2. M.... ....

    Intra venous genius! Brilliant

  3. m.... ....

    This is one of my favorites of theirs. The many changes throughout...I don't think the public was ready.

    m.... ....

    Oh, and I hate that it flips to mono midway and then back again. :)

  4. M.... ....

    Bought this in 1968 and still have the 45rpm on vinyl. Those tight harmonies were something that was tried by many groups of that era but none ever surpassed the Mama’s and Papa’s. Class Elliot’s voice was unique in the same vein as Karen Carpenter, one bar and you knew exactly who it was. I remember the shock when she died in London in her hotel room. The world lost a very gifted lady that day.

    M.... ....

    Excellent comment, Mikey - thanks for stopping by.

  5. r.... p....

    I've called my cat who is an oriental ivy who came to us in Xmas week so I decided to name her a Xmas name and ivy was it plus I love this song so it was fitting as a mamas and papa's fan that I name her ivy

    r.... p....

    Nice comment, Roberto ... you made me smile!

  6. p.... ....

    why is the video not available?

    p.... ....

    Perhaps someone reading this knows the answer ....

  7. h.... ....

    h.... ....

  9. R.... ....

    Love this song for my little baby I sit for  "Ivy"  -  Scarlett and Declan's  baby sister - and now another new baby girl  "Gemma" ! ! !   Gemma being the newborn in May, 2016  -  Scarlett being the most adorable  'big'  sister at only six years old !  So much fun babysitting for them once or twice a week !

    R.... ....

    That's something I didn't know about you, LM!

    R.... ....

    Yes, and you shall continue to learn more about me as songs bring up more reminders!    Haha!

  10. m.... ....

    I think it's one of their best, along with 12:30.

    m.... ....

    Agreed. (I already posted that one some time ago ...)

  11. T.... R....

    One i don't know - pity, it's pretty good song! Tiger.

    T.... R....

    Isn't it just! Seems they never put a foot wrong in the recording studio!

  12. C.... A....

    no, 81, good grief,crazy!

    C.... A....
