Love Inna Di City
Duane Stephenson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now from infinity
Love is a mistery
Distance is killing me
Come back I need you now
You are the love I found
I feel above the ground
You take me round and round
What I feel tonight about you and I
Am I dreaming?
I can feel your love when I hold you tight
I just wanna love you
And you're the one
I need you
And I just wanna give all my love I have
With my lips I'm feeling
And then I say I mean it
Cause you're the only one that I feel tonight
Come back and set me free
Now from infinity
Love is a mistery
Distance is killïng me
Come back I need you now
You are the love I found
I feel above the ground
You take me round and round
