Butterflies
찢옹랑·쌤옹祈 Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All you gotta do is walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when
I'm trying to get through
To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just want to touch you

I just want to touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near me
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby you give me butterflies

I just want to touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

I just want to touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

If you would take my hand, baby I would show you
Guide you to the light babe
If you would be my love, baby I will love you, love you
'Til the end of time

I just want to touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

I just want to touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

I just want to touch and kiss




And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies inside, inside and I

Overall Meaning

The song "Butterflies" by Michael Jackson is about unrequited love and the feeling of being in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate the same feelings. The lyrics express the desire to be close to the person, but the pain of not being able to achieve that closeness. The lines "don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you" and "all you gotta do is not answer my calls" convey the sadness of being ignored by the person you love.


The chorus, "You give me butterflies inside, inside and I," represents the feeling of nervous excitement that comes with being in love. The longing for physical closeness is expressed in the line "I just want to touch and kiss," while the phrase "if you would take my hand" suggests a plea for the other person to take a chance on the relationship. Ultimately, the song is about the pain and desire that come with unrequited love.


Line by Line Meaning

All you gotta do is walk away and pass me by
Just ignore me completely and act as if you never see me around


Don't acknowledge my smile when I try to say hello to you, yeah
Please don't greet me back even when I genuinely smile and greet you


And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when I'm trying to get through
Just avoid picking up my calls and keep me in the dark about any reason for the same


To keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
You will leave me curious and heartbroken, and all I would do is sigh overthinking it


I just want to touch you
I'm dying to hold your hand, to touch you physically and feel the spark in you


You give me butterflies inside, inside and I
You make me feel alive and elated, and it's a feeling of butterflies in my stomach


All I gotta say is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
I can't believe you're out of my reach, it feels like a dream, and not happening in reality


You're not here with me, still I can feel you near me
You're physically absent, but I feel your presence around me, which makes me happy


I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I imagine caressing you, kissing you, and then relishing that moment in my thoughts


I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
I'm willing to do anything to have you in my life and make my dreams come true


If you would take my hand, baby I would show you
If you agree to be with me, I would love to take your hand and show you what true love feels like


Guide you to the light babe
I will be your guiding light and lead you towards a happy life with me


If you would be my love, baby I will love you, love you
If you agree to be my love, I would love you with all my heart and for all eternity


'Til the end of time
I'm talking about a love that will last forever and will never fade away even after we die

Lyrics

I don't wanna fall so fast
But I'm open
They always say that good things never last
And I know 'cause I've been broken
I'm tryin' to protect my heart
But you're making it so hard
And I guess it's safe to say
You take my pain away

And I just wanna hold you all night long
Whenever I'm around you, nothing's wrong
I'm hoping that you'll always be around
You got me on a high, I don't wanna come down
And I love it, I love it (these butterflies)
Yeah I love it, I love it (I'm on a high)
Yeah, I love it, I love it
And I just wanna love on you (ooh)

Ever since you crossed my path
Everything is different
You always know just how to make me laugh
You got me all up in my feelings
And as much as I love the feeling
I hate it, it gets me frustrated
Wanna say just how I feel
But don't know how you would take it
Why do you do what you do to me?
Got me doing things that I don't do usually
I promised myself I wouldn't fall
But every time I see you, I just wanna risk it all
And baby, yeah, I know it ain't right
But the chemistry we have is so hard to fight

And I just wanna hold you all night long
Whenever I'm around you, nothing's wrong
I'm hoping that you'll always be around
You got me on a high, I don't wanna come down
And I love it, I love it (these butterflies)
Said I love it, I love it (I'm on a high)
Love (And I just wanna love on)
And I just wanna love on you

Just wanna love, just wanna love on ya (uh, uh)
Just wanna love, just wanna love on ya (uh, uh)
Ay, ay (uh, uh)

And I just wanna know you would catch me if I fall
If you tell me yeah, boy I might just risk it all
If you tell me no, it's okay, then I will leave (ooh)
I hope you feel the same, you're the only one I see
I see, I see
Just wanna love, just wanna love on ya
Just wanna love, just wanna love on ya (uh, uh)
Ay, ay (uh, uh)
