Breathless
Chris Norman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm with you
You make me promises but baby they're not true
Whispers in the night that keep me hanging on
You walk into a room and you light up the place
You speak the words of love we're standing face to face
You got me on a string, I'd give you anything
And as for heartaches and as for mistakes
I've had my share but baby I don't care
You leave me breathless whenever, you are near
I feel so helpless, a hopeless situation
Oh, and everything depends an you
There's nothing else that I can do
You leave me breathless, I try to play it cool
But I'm so restless, there is no explanation
Oh, I hear the sound of my heartbeat
I'm breaking down each time we meet
Some people talk of you, they don't know how I feel
Sometimes I hear your name, I'm in a spinning wheel
You are a part of me, you are my destiny
I wanna hold you
I wanna touch you
Can't get enough oh I need your love
You leave me breathless whenever, you are near
I feel so helpless, a hopeless situation
Oh, and everything depends an you
There's nothing else that I can do
You leave me breathless, I try to play it cool
But I'm so restless, there is no explanation
Oh, I hear the sound of my heartbeat
I'm breaking down each time we meet
Me love is burning like a flame
I know I'll never be the same without you
