Is This How Love's Supposed To Feel?
Ben Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You kissed me slow
It happened way too fast
I told myself
There's no way it would last
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Is this how love's supposed to feel?

And all my friends
Are saying it's not right
I want to sleep
Beside you every night
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Is this how love's supposed to feel?

So say you'll stay
I promise I won't go
There's just one thing
I really need to know
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Is this how love's supposed to feel?

Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Is this how love's supposed to feel?




Is this how love's supposed to feel?
Is this how love's supposed to feel?
