Knock Me Off My Feet
Cape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(You are all I see
you knock me off my feet, boy
I can't belive
knock me off my feet)

I don't need him
I can leave him
But I don't, I'm playing cool
He don't own me
I'm in control here
So who am I trying to fool

Yeah, I know I'm in to deep
But I can't help it if I'm weak
Your love lifts me off the ground
and leaves me spinning around and around

You are all I see
You're all I need
You knock me off my feet, boy
I can't belive
You're like a dream
You knock me off my feet

Mm, I know, I should take it slow
But I can't get him off of my mind
Whatever I do, whereever I go
I think about him all of the time

Yeah, I know I'm in to deep
But I can't help it if I'm weak
Your love lifts me off the ground
and leaves me spinning around and around

You are all I see
You're all I need
You knock me off my feet, boy
I can't belive
You're like a dream
You knock me off my feet

And with every touch I feel
And with every kiss you steel
Leaves me spinning around and around and around and around

You are all I see
You're all I need
You knock me off my feet, boy
I can't belive
You're like a dream
You knock me off my feet

You are all I see
You're all I need
You knock me off my feet, boy
I can't belive




You're like a dream
You knock me off my feet

This is the kind of song you listen to when you're casually growing trees/plants in unnatural speeds, saving civilians from landslides and stopping forest fires.
