Yes
Clayton Merry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drivin' around
I just can't hear a sound
'Cept my own wheels turnin'
Wastin' the day I'm just runnin' away
From a heart that's a burnin'
But I can't run forever

Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right
Yes, we're gonna make love it's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine huggin' and tesin'
And lovin' and squeezin' all night

I've made up my mind
This is gonna be mine
I'm so glad I waited oh
Why did I try
To figure out why
Everything can't be anticipated
I can't wait to tell him

Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right
Yes, we're gonna make love it's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine huggin' and tesin'
And lovin' and squeezin' all night

Oh yes

Uh yeah I can just imagine huggin' and tesin'
And lovin' and squeezin' all night

Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right
Yes, we're gonna make love it's gonna be tonight
Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right

Yes, we're gonna make love it's gonna be tonight
Oh, yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right
Yes, we're gonna make love it's gonna be tonight (gonna be, gonna be tonight)




Yes, we're gonna fall in love and it feels so right (it's gonna be, yeah)
Yes, we're gonna make love it's gonna be tonight (oh yeah, oh yeah)

It's only on the soundtrack for a few seconds to show how excited Baby's sister was on the way to see her rat lover, and it stops just as she catches him with another woman. The same rat who got the dance teacher pregnant and refused to pay for her abortion.
