Boy Meets Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me hear it from your heart
It's a great thing to be in love and be loved
Is anybody out there in love?
I wanna know, got to know
You say the shiver you used to feel
When I kissed behind your ear, is no longer there
We floated down, then it was forever
We always said, "Hey, you never know, never know"
I thought I did except for this note you left last night
Sayin' you don't love me anymore
Just hit me square see I never heard this one before, no no
No, I never heard that one before, no no
Is anybody out there in love?
Let me hear it from your heart
It's a great thing to be in love and be loved
Is anybody out there in love?
I wanna know, got to know
You say it's time for this to end
I guess I'd rather not pretend
I'm glad you'd rather not pretend
I wonder how long have I been, I've been with a stranger
At a time like this I feel like the biggest fool
So when we kissed and held each other
I see my situation was all wrong
No, I couldn't see something you know all along, no no
I couldn't let myself see
Is anybody out there in love?
Let me hear it from your heart
It's a great thing to be in love and be loved
Is anybody out there in love?
I wanna know
I just wanna hear about real love tonight
Tell me about good love, oh
All I wanna hear about is true love
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody out there in love?
Let me hear it from your heart
It's a great thing to be in love and be loved
Is anybody out there in love?
