Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I'm on fire, but I'm not
Oh, what a pain I've got, it must be love
There's nothing I can do, all that I want is you
Look what I'm going through, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream I've been dreaming of
Oh, what a feeling, it must be love
Something is wrong, alright, I think of you all night
Can't sleep 'til morning light, it must be love
Seeing you in my dreams, holding you close to me
Oh, what else can it be? It must be love
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream I've been dreaming of
Oh, what a feeling, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream I've been dreaming of
Oh, what a feeling, it must be love
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream I've been dreaming of
Oh, what a feeling, it must be love
The song "It Must Be Love" by Don Williams is a classic love song that describes the intense feelings one experiences when falling in love. The first stanza of the song suggests how the singer's body reacts to the emotions of love - he feels hot and then cold as if he's on fire. The pain he feels must be the result of love. He is helpless and can't do anything but want the person he loves.
The chorus of the song reinforces that the feelings are of love, as he experiences a sensation like falling like a sparrow and flying like a dove. The person he is in love with must be the one he has been dreaming of, and therefore, he feels like he is living a dream.
The second verse suggests that the singer finds it hard to sleep at night as his mind is preoccupied with thoughts of the one he loves. His dreams are filled with the person, and he wishes to hold them close. He's convinced that the feelings he's experiencing can only be love.
In summary, the song describes the overwhelming feeling of love one experiences when falling in love. It's a feeling that takes over our body and mind and leaves us powerless.

First, I get cold, then hot
At times I experience a chill, followed by a heat sensation
Think I'm on fire, but I'm not
Although I might feel like I'm burning, there is no actual flame
Oh, what a pain I've got, it must be love
The intense ache I'm feeling can only be explained by love
There's nothing I can do, all that I want is you
I am utterly helpless because you are all I desire
Look what I'm going through, it must be love
The hardships I face indicate that my emotions are that of love
It must be love, it must be love
The insurmountable force I feel can only be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
I am captivated and free at the same time, as if I'm a bird
You must be the dream I've been dreaming of
Simply put, you are the one I've always wished for
Oh, what a feeling, it must be love
My emotions are so intense, the only explanation is love
Something is wrong, alright, I think of you all night
When I can't stop thinking about you from dusk until dawn, something must be up
Can't sleep 'til morning light, it must be love
My longing for you is so powerful that I can't even rest until the sun rises
Seeing you in my dreams, holding you close to me
Even in my subconscious, all I want is to be near you
Oh, what else can it be? It must be love
I cannot think of any other logical explanation other than love
