It's You
Dionne Warwick & Stevie Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And know why rapid beats my heart
I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire
Letting me know love wants to start
No more playing around
No more waiting around for the special one to come
No more wearing a frown
No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
I look behind and what I sight is the mire
So very lonely was my heart
I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir
Singing that love will never part
No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down
No more I can't see the sun, whoa-oh-oh
No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come
When I know what I want
And I want what I know
Is you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause baby
It's you, oh
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you, it's you, and you're that angel sent from heaven above for me
(Me for you and you for me)
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If only I had not waited for you
'Cause, baby
It's you

I look inside my crystal ball of desire
I contemplate my deepest wishes and aspirations
And know why rapid beats my heart
I understand the reason for my fast heart rate

I detect the initial feeling and desire of love
Letting me know love wants to start
Assuring me that love is about to begin

I won't be sad or unhappy anymore
No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want
I won't cry anymore because I know what I desire
And I want what I know
Is you
I desire the person I am currently thinking about
Nobody has to tell me so
No one else has to convince me of this fact
It's you, it's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
I believe that you are a heavenly being, intended just for me
If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one
If I didn't wait, I might have ended up with the wrong person
If only I had not waited my life would be undone
If I didn't wait, my life would be incomplete
I look behind and what I sight is the mire
I remember the bad times from my past
So very lonely was my heart
I recall feeling incredibly lonely during this time
I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir
I feel hopeful about the future and happy about love
Singing that love will never part
I believe that my love will never leave my life

No more I can't see the sun
I won't feel hopeless anymore
No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come
There will be no more casual relationships, because the serious one has arrived
When I know what I want
Now that I know what I desire
It's you
The person I'm thinking about is the one I want
Cause baby it's you
Baby, you are the one who has my heart
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
My love is pure, and no one has to convince me of it
It's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above
I believe that you are my heavenly angel who was sent to me
If only I had not waited for you
If I didn't wait for you, I would have missed out on an amazing love
Cause baby it's you
Baby, you are the one I've been waiting for

É você
Eu olho dentro da minha bola de cristal do desejo
E sei porque meu coração bate rápido
Eu vejo o brilho, eu sinto a chama do fogo
Deixando-me saber que o amor quer começar
Chega de flertar
Chega de esperar pela pessoa especial chegar
Chega de estar com uma cara carrancuda
Chega de lágrimas caindo porque eu sei o que eu quero
E eu quero o que eu conheço
É você
Ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você é você, você é o anjo mandado do céu
É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim
(eu para você e você para mim)
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita
Se eu não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se eu não tivesse esperado por você
Eu olho para trás e o que eu vejo é a lama
Muito solitário estava meu coração
Eu olho para frente e ouço o som do coro
Cantando que o amor nunca vai separar
Chega de ouvir o som da chuva caindo
Chega de não poder ver o sol
Chega de causar dor por brincadeira pois o momento chegou
Quando eu sei o que eu quero
E eu quero o que eu conheço
É você
Ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu
É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim
(eu para você e você para mim)
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se eu não tivesse esperado por você
Porque baby
É você
Ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu
É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim
(eu para você e você para mim)
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se eu não tivesse esperado por você
Porque baby
É você
Ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu
É você, ninguém tem que me dizer isso
É você, você é o anjo mandado do céu para mim
(eu para você e você para mim)
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se não tivesse esperado, minha vida estaria desfeita
Se não tivesse esperado, eu teria escolhido a pessoa errada
Se eu não tivesse esperado por você
Porque baby é você

@CarlosAugusto-wi4un
Duas vozes, uma emoção e mensagem.
Sensibilidade, talento, dedicação e, de certo uma história.
Música e poesia, sentimento e harmonia.
Isso é Música, aqui ou em qualquer lugar desse planeta.
@marcosmacedo7682
A harmonização vocal dos dois é SURREAL. Eu ainda acredito na música.
