Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in emotion
Some guys will promise you a
Marriage made in heaven
But I'm gonna stick to my guns
Like waitin for their love
that I might be gettin
My dreams have just begun
Are you free
And love for you, oh my
And come to see you oh oh
Lost in emotion
Telling you things you really shouldn't know
Oh baby, I'm lost in emotion
Am I fool at least my friends think so
Que sera Sera
Baby, whenever we're free, que sera sera
Between you and me
Just how true are the rumors I am hearing
About this crush you have on me
Maybe I'm blind but I just don't see it
But I want to believe what they say
I find myself telling you things
I don't even tell my best friend
I can't show it the emotions overflowin
Just wear it I'll dance around
Sometimes I wonder if I am in your heart
Even though I don't live there yet
I'm afraid it'll be cold and dark
I'm lost in emotion
Telling you things you really shouldn't know
I'm lost in emotion
Am I a fool, at least my friends think so
Que sera sera
Between you and me
A boy couldn't go
Baby am I a fool cause I don't know
Just how you feel
I'll be there for you all the time
Hit the beat now
When I'm feelin, I hate this feelin
Lost in emotion
The lyrics to Deniece Williams and Johnny Mathis's song, "Emotion" explore the feelings of being lost in love and the challenges associated with vulnerability. The song speaks of the uncertainty that comes with new love and the way that it can make one feel out of control, exposed, and even foolish. Williams sings about the temptation to reveal oneself completely to a potential partner, despite knowing that it's not always wise to share everything in the early stages of a relationship. The singer expresses her doubts about whether her affection is reciprocated, and wonders if her feelings will be met with coldness or rejection. She also acknowledges the rumors that she's heard about her partner's interest in her, but admits that she's unable to see it for herself. Ultimately, the message of the song seems to be one of hopefulness and determination in the face of uncertain love. Williams sings about her desire to stick to her guns and keep waiting for the love she deserves, while also acknowledging that the process can be frustrating and even painful.

Telling you things you really shouldn't know
I am opening up and sharing personal details with you that I probably shouldn't

Whatever will be, will be
Baby, whenever we're free, que sera sera
Whenever we have time for each other, we'll see what happens
Between you and me
Just between us, privately
Just how true are the rumors I am hearing
I am curious about the rumors I have heard about your feelings for me
About this crush you have on me
I have heard that you have a romantic interest in me
Maybe I'm blind but I just don't see it
I am not sure if your feelings are genuine or not
But I want to believe what they say
I am hopeful that there is truth to the rumors
I find myself telling you things I don't even tell my best friend
I am very comfortable confiding in you and revealing things I normally wouldn't share with others
I can't show it the emotions overflowin
I am struggling to hide my strong emotions and feelings
Just wear it I'll dance around
I will find ways to maintain my composure and not let my feelings become too obvious
Sometimes I wonder if I am in your heart
I am uncertain if you have feelings for me or not
Even though I don't live there yet
Even though we are not officially in a relationship
I'm afraid it'll be cold and dark
I am afraid that your heart may be closed off to me or uninterested
A boy couldn't go
A boy couldn't handle the strong emotions and feelings I have
Baby am I a fool cause I don't know
I feel foolish for not knowing if you have feelings for me or not
I'll be there for you all the time
I am willing to commit to being there for you whenever you need me
When I'm feelin, I hate this feelin
I struggle with these intense feeling of love and uncertainty

As pessoas mais jovens nos chamam de saudosistas. Como não ser? Éramos jovens, as músicas eram maravilhosas... Como não ter saudades?
