When Love Comes Calling
Deniece Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me are we sharing the same fantasy?
I'll kiss you, kiss me too
I just got the message, yes, it's me and you
Your smile gave me the go ahead
It's good to know that love is calling
Knocking, knocking, knocking at the door
When love comes calling
Won't you open up for more?
Your love is calling
Calling, calling, calling on you
To my surprise, you hypnotized a little girl
But made a woman come alive
It's no mystery, baby, can't you see
You are everything I ever promised me?
The lyrics to Deniece Williams's song "When Love Comes Calling" speak of two people who have caught each other's eye and have fallen for each other. The song opens with the two noticing each other and questioning whether they share the same desire for each other. However, as they exchange kisses, it becomes evident that the feeling is mutual.
The singer is ecstatic to have received the green light from the other person, signifying that love is calling. Love is presented as a person knocking at the door, asking to be let in. The chorus brings forth the message of the song, calling for the singer to open up and receive more love. The repeated "calling, calling, calling on you" further emphasizes that love is not something to be taken lightly or missed.
The final verse speaks of a transformation that has occurred within the singer, thanks to the power of love that has come knocking.
