Che'Nelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't see myself with nobody else
Everywhere I go, everything I do, you appear in my vision
You can even be a thousand miles away
Still I can't resist, having you in the back of my head
Baby, in my eyes you're perfection
Bridge
All I know is that I need you baby
Don't break the chain 'cause I remain weak, forever
Chorus
Loving you is like second nature
Nothing could compare, you're like no other
Without you I ain't breathing
Feels like I'm suffocating
I need you
Fron the first time I saw you I told myself stop dreaming
Ask me to be yours and you as mine
No more misbehaving
I'm over all that playing
I need you
Verse 2
Summer, winter, spring, I am there
Everything you want, anything you need
Baby I provide affection
I can see myself growing old with you
You complete my world
You make me face my fears, how could I ever thank you
Bridge
But why, I don't know baby
All I know is that I want you honey
Don't break the chain 'cause I remain weak, forever
Chorus
And Loving you is like second nature
Nothing could compare, you're like no other
Without you I ain't breathing
Feels like I'm suffocating
I need you
Fron the first time I saw you I told myself stop dreaming
Ask me to be yours and you as mine
No more misbehaving
I'm over all that playing
I need you
Bridge 2
Words can't explain how and what you've done to me
Don't know what I did to have make this become reality
Something so unfamiliar, something I can't ignore
I'm so into you, so so into you
Sat down about twice to see
If I might change my mind about the way I feel
Just like I guess I couldn't stop coming back to the same old thing
Are you there
Treating me so good, getting me all hooked
Bridge
But why, I don't know baby
All I know is that I want you honey
Don't break the chain 'cause I remain weak, forever
Chorus
And Loving you is like second nature
Nothing could compare, you're like no other
Without you I ain't breathing
Feels like I'm suffocating
I need you
Fron the first time I saw you I told myself stop dreaming
Ask me to be yours and you as mine
Over misbehaving
Over all that playing
I need you
Need you, need you, need you ou ou ou ou ou ou

Our love is something new and unfamiliar, but I cannot ignore it

I am really into you and our relationship
Sat down about twice to see
I have thought about my feelings for you multiple times
If I might change my mind about the way I feel
I have considered if I might change my mind about my feelings for you
Just like I guess I couldn't stop coming back to the same old thing
I cannot help but come back to you, it feels like second nature
Are you there
I wonder if you are still there for me
Treating me so good, getting me all hooked
You treat me so well, and I am hooked on you
Need you, need you, need you ou ou ou ou ou ou
I need you, I need you, I need you
