I'm feelin'
I wanna love you,

With a roof over our heads,
We'll share the shelter of my single bed,

Is this love, is this love, is this love,

We'll be together,
With a roof over our heads,
We'll share the shelter, of my single bed,
We'll share the same room,
'cause Jah provides the bread.

Is this love, is this love, is this love,

The singer wants to share their life with their partner, have a roof over their heads, and share a single bed. The repetition of the line 'Is this love that I'm feelin'?' indicates the uncertainty the singer has, and they're seeking confirmation from their partner or someone else.

I watched a Brazilian series that played this specific song in the most romantic way possible, when my favorite character finds love after a failed marriage to who she taught was the love of her life. It became my favorite song

@ta5393

Now this is my favorite Bob Marley song AND I also love CBR. When I heard she was covering this song, I was like.....holding my breath (lol) because that song is amazing. I'm a fan of classic roots reggae music. Initially, I was like....now Miss CBR, you better do my favorite Bob Marley song some justice. She understood the assignment and brought her own flava to it! My thing is if an artist or group is going to cover a great classis song, ya better bring your A game doing it absolute justice or don't cover it....AT ALL! Lol! CBR did this song absolute justice as she should showing her respects to Bob Marley. His song is one of the most timeless and beautiful love songs ever made. :)

@authorcarynlee

I can’t wait to experience this type of love and dance slowly with my man to this song.❤❤❤

i've only just come across these various covers she's done and have enjoyed most of them a good bit. if anyone has her ear i'd suggest her trying chaka khan's "night moods". matching chaka's vocals would be a challenge, but it seems like a song i could imagine her doing.
