Lyrics

Oh here it comes

Anticipation of a familiar emotion or experience.

That funny feeling again winding me up inside

Feeling emotionally charged and agitated internally.

Every time we touch

Suggesting a connection or emotional response when physically close.

Hey I don't know

Expressing uncertainty or lack of understanding.

Oh, tell me where to begin cause I never ever

Seeking guidance on where to start due to overwhelming emotions.

Felt so much

Emphasizing an unprecedented intensity of emotion.


And I can't recall any love at all

Unable to remember any love that compares.

Baby this blows 'em all away

Acknowledging the exceptional nature of the current experience.


It's got what it takes

Recognizing desirable qualities in the relationship.

So tell me why can't this be love?

Pondering the reason why this intense feeling is not defined as love.

Straight from my heart

Expressing sincerity and directness from the speaker's emotions.

Oh, tell me why can't this be love?

Reiterating the question of why the intense feeling is not considered love.


I tell myself

Deliberating and reflecting on the situation.

Hey only fools rush in and only time will tell

Cautioning against impulsive actions and emphasizing the importance of time.

If we stand the test of time

Questioning if the relationship can endure over time.

All I know

Stressing the necessity of effort and determination in relationships.

You've got to run to win and I'll be damned if

Highlighting the need to take risks to achieve success in love.

I'll get hung up on the line

Expressing reluctance to be emotionally entangled or constrained.


Hey

An exclamation or attention-grabbing interjection.


No I can't recall anything at all

Unable to remember any significant experiences or emotions.

Oh baby this blows them all away

Reiterating the unparalleled nature of the current experience.


Woo

An exclamation or expression of enthusiasm.


It's got what it takes

Recognizing the essential qualities of the relationship.

So tell me why can't this be love?

Repeating the question about the nature of the intense emotion.

You want it straight from the heart

Emphasizing the sincerity and directness of the speaker's inquiry.

Oh tell me why can't this be love?

Reiterating the question of why the intense feeling is not considered love.


It's got what it takes

Affirming the essential qualities of the relationship.

So tell me why can't this be love?

Posing the question of why the intense feeling is not defined as love.

Straight from my heart

Expressing sincerity and directness from the speaker's emotions.

Oh, tell me why can't this be love?

Reiterating the question of why the intense feeling is not considered love.


Baby why can't this be love

Persistently seeking an explanation for the nature of the emotions.

Got to know why can't this be love

Expressing a desire for understanding the reasons behind the intense feelings.

I wanna know why can't this be love

Repeatedly questioning why the intense emotion is not identified as love.
