Davina Michelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night you're here to remind me
Of your sweet eyes
All of my dreams and all of my wishes
Are about to come true
Life is too good and you are the reason
I′m so in love with you
Yeah, you make me feel so high tonight
Head over heals
Baby, your love makes me feel alive
How can I sleep when I'm going crazy
And I can't unwind
And how can I think when I am about to
Lose my mind
All of my dreams all of my wishes
Are about to come true
Life is too good and you are the reason
I′m so in love with you
Head over heals
Yeah, you make me feel so high tonight
Head over heals
Baby, your love makes me feel so right
Head over heals
No, I never felt so light and free
You know how it feels
Because you told me you′re in love with me
Every minute and every second of the day
I'm thinking about you
Please make it never go away
I′m thinking about you baby
Please make it never go away
Head over heals
Head over heals
Yeah, you make me feel so high tonight
Head over heals
Baby, your love makes me feel so right
Head over heals
No, I've never felt so light and free
You know how it feels
Because you told me you′re in love with me
The lyrics of Davina Michelle's song 'Head Over Heels' is a declaration of love to a significant other. The singer is having trouble sleeping because this person is constantly on their mind, and the mere presence of their lover instantly reminds them of their beautiful eyes. The singer's dreams and wishes are about to come true, and they acknowledge that their lover is the reason for feeling so in love. The chorus reaffirms these feelings by expressing that the lover makes the singer feel high, alive, and right. The lyrics in the second verse build on the first, where the singer admits to going crazy and losing their mind because of the intense love they feel. However, all of these thoughts are positive, and every minute of every day is spent thinking about their lover. The song ends with the reaffirmation that the love will never go away.
The song is Davina Michelle's second single and was released in 2018. It became a hit on Dutch radio and charted on the Netherlands Top 100 Chart that same year. The song's music video is set in a diner, where the singer and her lover share sweet moments together. Besides, 'Head Over Heels' was included in Davina Michelle's debut album 'My Own World,' released in 2020. The song reflects Michelle's journey from an ambitious singer to an emerging artist.

@evak.2180
@@reddragonready What is that supposed to mean?
@reddragonready
It means it would be an improvement if she learned how to enunciate English vowels. It was a joke... as in marking her vowels properly.
