In response to the repeated A-major choruses of "love you", McCartney sings in realisation that there is as much self-gratifying love ("the love you take") as there is of the generous love ("the love you make"), in A major and C major, respectively.
Dalam menanggapi berulang-ulang kunci C-mayor pada chorus 'love you', McCartney bernyanyi dalam kesadaran bahwa memuaskan diri dengan cinta ("the love you take") karena adanya cinta yang murah hati ("the love you make"), masing-masing dalam A mayor dan C mayor.
