Love So Strong
Bad Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, alright now, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Listen

It took me some time to believe my eyes
Well, thinking back now I must have been blind
Just sixteen years old and I'm coming on strong
When she said, "Yes", my resistance was gone

So come with me hold on tight
Make it together, light up the night

'Cause it's love so strong
And her legs are too long
I don't care if it's wrong
If it's right no, no, right now

You might think that I'm just having my fun
It's so much more than just a hit and run
You've got to find the stick, yeah and my head it'll spin, yeah
If loving is wrong I'm guilty as sin

So come with me hold on tight
Make it together, light up the night

'Cause it's love so strong
And her legs are too long
I don't care if it's wrong
If it's right no, no, right now, come on

Your vision never fades away
I keep on thinking 'bout you night and day
Hold my hand and let me hold you tight
You know, babe, gonna love you tonight

You know baby, I wanted to ooh you
I wanted to lick you down

So come with me hold on tight
Make it together, light up the night

'Cause it's love so strong
And her legs are too long
I don't care if it's wrong
If it's right no, no, right now

Ooh well, it's love so strong
And her legs are too long
I don't care if it's wrong
If it's right no, no, right now

'Cause our loves so strong
And her legs, legs are too long
I don't care if it's wrong
If it's right no, no, right now





Oh right now, oh love's so strong
What an absolute bugger?

ESSE AMOR

Eu sei que você não é apenas um rostinho bonito
Você tem estilo, você tem graça
Mas eu preciso conhecer você um pouco mais
Eu vi a sua imagem como uma pequena garota
Antes da mulher que você se tornou
Mas eu preciso mostrar um pouco mais

Esse amor vai durar para sempre
Esse amor é verdadeiro vai ficar
Eu sei o que você tem. e o que vai demorar
E você tem um coração e ele não vai quebrar
Mas eu preciso te mostrar um pouco mais

E eu tenho esse sentimento
É tão parecido com a dor
E tem me enrolado
Mas eu ainda não consigo explicar
Eu quero te mostrar, baby, apenas um pouco mais

Esse amor vai durar para sempre
Esse amor é verdadeiro vai ficar
Esse amor vai nos manter juntos
Este amor está atrasado há muito tempo
Yeah!

(Solo)

Esta criança, essa garota
Essa mulher com a qual sonho
Ela sabe que sem esse amor
Eu não poderia viver

R.I.P. Brian "The Voice" Howe, there will never be one as great as you ever again. This song led the way for the Howe era which was all too short but packed a punch in quality and classic songs and incredible ballads.
