I'm In The Mood
Ce-Ce Peniston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't nothin' but a sweet thing, Yeah.
And I'm demanding more ev'eryday.
I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood, uh huh, boy.
I want ya forever.
I'm in the mood.

Let's start the night off right,
you and I babe, and candle light.
Tasting the wine on your lips;
touching your body tenderly with my finger tips.
I feel a sweet sensation rushin' through my body.
Needs no explainin' it's for your lovin'.
Just dim the lights and ask me what I want oh, baby,
so I can say exactly how I feel.

I'm in the mood and I hope you feel it too.
Take me away and I'll come back for more ev'ryday.
I'm in mood and I hope you feel it too.
Take me away and I'll come back for more ev'ryday,
Uh huh boy. I want forever.
I don't know if you know it or not, but I'm in the mood.

Let's not spoil moment boy.
Unplug the phone so we can be alone.
There is something about your kiss
that makes me feel like nothin' else exists.
Let's get into the moment, you won't regret it.
There's so much passion between us, we can't control it.
This is the night that we soon won't forget, oh baby.
I've never been more ready for your love.

I'm in the mood and I hope you feel it too.
Take me away and I'll come back for more ev'ryday.
I'm in mood and I hope you feel it too.
Take me away and I'll come back for more ev'ryday,
Uh huh boy. I want forever.
I don't know if you know it or not, but I'm in the mood.
You ain't nothin' but a sweet thing, yeah.

And I'm demanding more ev'ry day
I want ya forever.
I'm in the mood ev'ryday.

As a kid in the '90's, we had it the best. CeCe, SWV, TLC, Heavy D, MJ, JJ, the list goes on and on. The best music from the best artists at their most vibrant, and we listened to it fresh and then went off and played Sonic the Hedgehog after getting drenched from our Super Soakers. Life was good.

I randomly thought of this song and searched it up. So glad I did. The nostalgia. I’ll be 40 in a couple months and this took me right back to 10 years old 🥰♥️

@matthewprince9705

Can someone explain WHY some R&B videos were shot in back alleys with lots of dancing? That was a real trend from 1989 to 1995 😂

@markmenez4097

It was the vibe for that era

@matthewprince9705

@@markmenez4097 New Jack Swing was biker shorts, braces and colourful suits and Swingbeat was Ski goggles, puffa jackets, timberlands, saggy jeans and Jiggy rap was shiny suits. Do you remember?

@markmenez4097

@@matthewprince9705 it was all of that plus this vibe of the video . The late 80s - early 90s new jack swing was a whole vibe .
