Is It Love Yet?
Chely Wright Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time comin'
I've been alone so long
My heart is doin' somethin'
Can't put my finger on

I feel it when you touch me
I see it in your eyes
I get the feelin' we're fallin'

Fallin' side by side

[Chorus]
Is it love yet?
Is it real?
Cause ya know I love the way you make me feel
Oh we took our chance
We took our time
And if it's love boy I won't mind
I'll take all I can get
Is it love yet?

My mama always told me
You'll know when love is true
Sometimes when you're not lookin'
It's sneakin' up on you

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
