The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How much you mean to me
I think you wouldn't understand it
So I'll wait, I'll wait
Until this day comes
When you will understand me
But I can't help myself
I can't stop myself
I am going crazy
I cannot stop myself
Cannot control myself
I am going crazy
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
Oh, I cannot change it
I'm sure not making it
One big hell of a fuss
I cannot turn my back
I've got to face the fact
Life without you is hazy
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
Kiss me, thrill me, don't say good bye
Hug me, love me, don't say goodbye
Oh-uh-oh-hu-oh-ho
Don't say goodbye
Oh but I can't help myself
I can't stop myself
I am going crazy
I cannot turn my back
I've got to face the fact
Life without you is hazy
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
And I love you, I want you
I wanna talk to you
I wanna be with you
Oh-uh-oh, oh-ho
Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Kiss me goodbye

If I would tell you
If I were to confess to you
How much you mean to me
The amount you matter to me
I think you wouldn't understand it
I believe you wouldn't comprehend it
So I'll wait, I'll wait
Thus, I will delay, I will wait
Until this day comes
Till when the day arises
When you will understand me
When you will recognize my true feelings
But I can't help myself
However, I cannot stop myself
I can't stop myself
I am unable to prevent myself
I am going crazy
I am becoming insane
I cannot stop myself
I am powerless to halt myself
Cannot control myself
I have no command over myself
I am going crazy
I am becoming crazed
And I love you, I want you
I care for you, I desire you
I wanna talk to you
I want to converse with you
I wanna be with you
I want to be with you
Oh, I cannot change it
Oh, I cannot amend it
I'm sure not making it
I am guaranteed not magnifying it
One big hell of a fuss
One colossal tumultuous uproar
I cannot turn my back
I am unable to renounce you
I've got to face the fact
I must confront reality
Life without you is hazy
A life without you is blurred
Kiss me, thrill me, don't say good bye
Smooch me, excite me, don't bid adieu
Hug me, love me, don't say goodbye
Embrace me, don't leave me
Oh-uh-oh-hu-oh-ho
Don't say goodbye
Do not bid farewell
Oh but I can't help myself
Oh yet I am unable to control myself
I cannot turn my back
I am powerless to forget you
I've got to face the fact
I must confront the truth
Life without you is hazy
A life without you is indefinite
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me before leaving

Thank you for uploading and continuing to upload all of your music videos in this superb quality! Your amazing music and artistry needs to be heard and seen forever! Thank you for being an important part of my childhood in the 90's! Your songs saw me through some tough moments and to this day, almost not a single day passes without signing one of your songs in my house. I was fortunate enough to see you all sing live when you came in my town 20 years ago in 2002 (Brasov, Romania - at the Golden Deer festival). I was 16 and I will never forget that day, especially when Maite sang from the historic fountain in the square, next to the stage. I couldn't believe that the band whose songs I sang each day as a child was there, in front of my eyes. Thank you again, for many beloved memories. May you all be blessed!
