So Into You
Atlanta Rhythm Section Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I am so into you
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
Thinking how it's going to be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good
Don't you know?
From your head to your toes
Gonna love you all over, over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you
When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me
I'm so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you, baby
I can't get to nothing else
No, no, no, come on baby
I'm so into you
Love the things you do
Listen baby, driving me crazy, oh
Love the things you do

@ trans am lvr:
This album came out in 1976 And I was only about 5 years old And I remember hearing stuff on the radio that just was incredibly mood changing Sigh was basically in my single digits I was an adolescent in the 1970s and I remember it very well
And as dreary as the 1970s could actually be given Vietnam Inflation I don't know why But I miss it.
I was much older from my age I was never my age I was probly always to 3 years ahead definitely 2 years And I remember all this music I remember listening to it into the late seventies into the eighties and I remember it when I was very young I remember it at 5 years old.
And I picked up on the tone of the music it's it's hard not to And I knew what I liked haha A music like this only added more to the you know eventual banks of what you wanted
But like you said you wish you can go back to the seventies and I was like I said I was not a teenager so I didn't enjoy things away a lot of the older kids that I admired did and I always hung out with older kids
But when someone like you says yes I wish I can go back to the 1970s the simple fact this year I agree with you And is shifty and dreary as things could be back then I miss it And that's not to say that everything we should I and dreary a time there was a lot of fun
Big stadium concerts by the great rock groups the radio was filled with great music
Girls walked around with tight shorts on with their asses hanging out The close was their clothes were skin tight
I don't know if I would want to relive the 1970s completely maybe I don't know maybe because I was in a teenager I don't II feel that way as much as I would like to relive the seventies
But I definitely miss it and groups like this only add to that mood. The other weird thing that made the 1970s just so wow and so attractive is that it was nostalgia.
The 1915 the statue was there the 1970s was nothing more than just a carry over from the sixties
Is much is Vietnam was on but World War II with stolen our heads Korea didn't get much attention but Korea was still in our heads And we even had the 1940s 1930s and maybe even just a little bit of the 20th still in the 1970s that was influencing us
I think I probably would go back to the 1970s. The clothing was a lot of fun Yeah a lot of the cars were ogli certain ones but there was something about the big cars back then that we had
The seventies definitely was a special time

That's another way of saying, "I don't understand music."
