Instinct
BB Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got that instinct when I'm around you
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I think of you
I don't usually hang around
In places I am easily found
It's not my style to act like this
Move closer, I feel you
I know what I have to do
I don't want to do this
But you have got to hear it
I always get this feeling
I know where this is leading
But I can't deny this feeling inside
Oh it feels so right
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I'm around you
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I think of you
I guess I've broken every rule
He assured me he was never approaching you
I can't seem to hold this back
I know I shouldn't let this moment pass
When I saw ya, like the way I do
No one else can do, do
I don't want to do this
But you have got to hear it
I always get this feeling
I know where this is leading
But I can't deny this feeling inside
Oh it feels so right
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I'm around you
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I think of you
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I'm around you
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I think of you
I got these instincts about you
I really hope that you feel me too
I got these feeling about you
I hope that you really want me too
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I'm around you
I got that instinct about you
I got that instinct when I think of you
In BB Diamond's song "Instinct," the lyrics revolve around the strong feeling the singer has toward someone they have just met. The song speaks about the instinctive attraction that the singer feels towards this person, even though they usually do not hang around people who are easily found. The singer is aware that this attraction goes against their usual style, which is playing it safe and not taking any risks. Nevertheless, they cannot help but feel a magnetic pull towards this person, and in the end, they hope that the other person feels the same way.
The words in the song speak to anyone who has ever felt that special connection with someone, despite their better judgment or usual habits. In this particular situation, the lyrics suggest that the singer has broken a rule by feeling drawn to someone they were not supposed to, and they cannot help but wonder if the object of their affection feels the same way. The song is therefore about the thrill of taking risks and following your instincts, even when it may go against your usual patterns.
