Emotion
ÌìÃüÕæÅ®ºÏ³ªÍÅ Destiny's Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
Instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go(GO)
Cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back

Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world
To hold me tight
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight,goodnight

I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've gotta go find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you are
Cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling

Don't you know there's nobody left in this world
To hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taken me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you don't come back

Come home to me, darling
Nobody left in this world
To hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight





Nobody to kiss me
Goodnight, goodnight

Overall Meaning

The song "Emotion" by Destiny's Child explores the emotions and heartache that come with a breakup. The lyrics express a sense of loss and desperation as the singer questions who their former partner is with now and why they can't seem to move on. The line "It's just emotion taken me over" refers to the overwhelming pain and sadness that can consume a person after a breakup. The verses also mention tears and crying, which further emphasize the intense emotions that the singer is feeling.


The chorus repeats the idea that there is nobody left in the world to hold the singer tight or kiss them goodnight. This serves as a reminder of just how alone and isolated they feel without their former partner. The second verse acknowledges that the singer is still connected to their ex in some way, by being a part of the things they are and having a part of someone else. However, they ultimately come to the realization that their ex needs to go find their own path and shine in their own way.


Overall, the song captures the raw and vulnerable emotions that come with heartbreak. It highlights the pain and sense of loss that can be felt even after a relationship has ended.

Letra, lyrics
It's over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And who is the one you're clinging to
Instead of me tonight?

And where are you now
Now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go, go
I'll cry me a river
That leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotions taking me over
Caught up in sorrow, lost in the song
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
And don't you know there's nobody left in this world kiss goodnight
Kiss goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight

I'm there at your side
A part of all the things you are
But you got a part of someone else
You gotta go find your shining star

And where are you now
Now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you go
I'll cry me a river
That leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotions taking me over (taking me over)
Caught up in sorrow, lost in the song (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world to hold me tight
Nobody left in this world kiss goodnight
Nobody left in this world

And where are you now
Now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow
Wherever you, you go
I'll cry me a river
That leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotions taking me over
I'm caught up in sorrow, lost in the song (don't you know I'm lost without you, baby)
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Nobody left in this world to hold me tight (yeah, nobody, nobody to hold me)
Nobody left in this world kiss goodnight (nobody to kiss me, yeah)
Goodnight
Goodnight
