Donna Summer feat. Brooklyn Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am yours for ever more, 'till eternity
Silently please, listen to the words I say
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it' s not the way it could be
Don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows I only want to please you
Don't you know love is what I need
Down inside, don't get caught with foolish pride
Blow the other things aside, its only you and me
Believe in us, we were always meant to be
Me for you and you for me, 'till eternity
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it's not the way it could be
And don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows I never want to leave you
Heaven knows I only want to please you
Don't you know love is what I need
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it's not the way it could be
And don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it's not the way it could be
And don't you know there's no need to leave

The best. Donna was above and beyond every other singer of the era. Songs like this bring tears to my eyes when I think about the times I heard her in concert and her voice was PERFECT. No auto tune or layering. She will always be the greatest in my mind. Rest in peace, Donna!
@Deepizzaguy
Amen.
