Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Gary Taylor)

Ah, many days it goes unspoken
But this desire never seems to go away
It's gonna take much more than hope to bring you close
I think I'll pray

I hear you say you've got a lot to give up
And there is so much more this heart of mine can take
If what you have to bring to me is positive you send it right away
Right away

Chorus I:
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love, good love
I want a love that's sure to stand the test of time
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love, good love
Morning, noon and night, forever all my life
Good love. Good love
Good love, good love
There is a void that stands between us
And it seems it's getting harder to relate
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine
Life this way

Repeat chorus 1

Chorus 2
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love. Good love
I want a love that's sure to stand the test of time
I want to know what good love feels like
Good love, good love
Hear me when I say, bring it to me baby

Babe. You're the man I hear you say you are
I don't quite understand why loving me is so hard
Never have I felt the need to be this close
Words cannot say, heaven only knows





Repeat chorus I to fade

@@tokenrow669 not neccesarily, if he don't go through the industry, and does it natural, then he'll be ok. Though it is going to take him some time to do because he's doing it natural. I plan on doing it natural as well. I DO NOT support that man downstairs. Thats all im saying.
