Supernatural Love
Donna Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who one were lovers
We've been everlasting friends
I was shattered
When you walked out, boy
I was walking off the edge
When you left
Now my broken heart is stable
I'm starting to mend
Got you back and I'm living again
Oh, this must be love
That sets my soul on fire
A supernatural love
(this must be)
That makes my flame burn higher
A supernatural love
Life was only tear drops falling down
From my eyes
Now my broken heart is stable
Oh, I'm coming alive
I can't fight what I'm feeling inside
This must be love
That sets my soul on fire
A supernatural love
(oh, this must be)
That makes my flame burn higher
A supernatural love
That gets me so excited
A supernatural love
(oh, this must be)
That makes us true survivors
A supernatural love
Friends, said i looked so down-hearted
When, when you left
Now my broken heart is stable
I'm starting to mend
Got you back and I'm living again
Oh, this must be love
That sets my soul on fire
A supernatural love
(oh, this must be)
That makes my flame burn higher
A supernatural love
That gets me so excited
A supernatural love
(oh, this must be)
That makes us true survivors
A supernatural love
The lyrics to Donna Summer's "Supernatural Love" depict the journey of two people who were once lovers but had broken up, becoming strangers to each other. However, they eventually reconnected and became "everlasting friends," leading to the possibility of reigniting their romance. The song speaks of a "supernatural love" that has the power to set one's soul on fire and make their flame burn higher.
The singer of the song admits to being devastated when her former lover walked out on her. Friends tried to console her, but it was the return of the former lover that brought stability back to her broken heart. With his arrival and the potential for a renewed relationship, she finds herself "coming alive" once more. This "supernatural love" is not only exciting but can also make "true survivors" out of those who possess it.
However, the song doesn't explicitly say whether the singer and her former lover do rekindle their romance. It leaves the listener with the possibility of a happy ending, but it's also open to interpretation. The song's message seems to be that true love never truly dies, and there's always a chance for it to be rekindled, even if circumstances seem to have made it impossible.

We were strangers
At first, we didn't know each other at all
Who one were lovers
But then, we became romantic partners
We've been everlasting friends
Even though we're not together anymore, we still care for each other
I was shattered
I felt completely broken
When you walked out, boy
When you left me behind, I was devastated
I was walking off the edge
I was on the brink of losing it all
Friends, said i looked so down-hearted
My loved ones noticed that I was struggling to cope with the breakup
Now my broken heart is stable
However, I've come a long way and my heart is healing
I'm starting to mend
I'm beginning to feel better
Got you back and I'm living again

Being with you makes me feel more alive than ever
Life was only tear drops falling down
Before you came back into my life, I was very unhappy and cried often
From my eyes
That makes my flame burn higher
Now that we're together, my passion has been reignited
Oh, I'm coming alive
I feel like I'm finally living after a period of darkness
I can't fight what I'm feeling inside
My emotions for you are too strong to deny
That gets me so excited
Just thinking about you makes me feel elated
That makes us true survivors

One of my favorite Donna Summer songs. Should've been a bigger hit!
Diaval
A great, but underrated dance tune by diva Donna. Still a favorite song of mine. This SHOULD have received more air-play.
rgrndu
This woman should NEVER lip sync. She sings better live than on her recordings.
Amzy Jones
Amen
Amzy Jones
Another should-a-been smash from one of the finest female voices of the last century.
John Browneyes
One of the best voices in pop music. I remember when "Last Dance" was big. I miss those days!
David C
What an incredible voice. Just amazing.
Ramon Cervantes
I remember watching this show and seeing her perform. What a classy and lovely lady who could do more for a song with her amazing voice and her sensual personna than a gaggle of MTV vixens.

Cats Without Claws is one of my favorite albums by Donna.
