Hit the beat now
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
Am I awful to think of love
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

Overall Meaning

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.

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