Something
Blue Swede Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen
Can you not hear our young hearts beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning
Here it comes
Can't you feel it Baby
Can't you feel it
Here comes
Feel it
Feel it
Fire
Fire
Something's Burning
Something's Burning
Something's Burning
Something's Burning I think it's love
I believe it's love

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever
I cup my hands to touch your face
Once again I feel your fire

Here it comes
Can't you feel it Baby
Can't you feel it
Here comes
Feel it
Feel it
Fire
Fire
Something's Burning
Something's Burning
Something's Burning
Something's Burning I think it's love
I believe it's love

I believe it's love
I believe it's love
I believe it's love





I believe it's love

I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me
When you hold me
In your arms so tight
You let me know
Everything's alright
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
Lips as sweet as candy
It's taste is on my mind
Girl, you got me thirsty
For another cup of wine
Got a bug from you girl
But I don't need no cure
I just stay a victim
If I can for sure
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up girl
Yeah, you turn me on
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
All the good love
When we're all alone
Keep it up, girl
Yeah, you turn me on
I'm hooked on a feeling
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I said I'm hooked on a feeling
And I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me
I'm hooked on a feeling

My son at a very young age used to go crazy when this came on the radio. He used to jump up and down and say "ohh Daddy it's uga chaka"!!!! He would sing that part and never stop jumping. Such a great memory for me since he is now 48 years old, but will always be "my little guy".

💘 my "little guys" are 25 & 26 [6'1"+], & they love my classic rock, too!

@michaels9508

That is a beautiful memory. When My son was an infant I would hold in my arms and dance and sing Pretty Blue Eyes by Steve Lawrence. He has piercing blue eyes. Cried a lot for him he had two tumors behind one eye. He is fine now and 38
