It Must Be Love
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First I get cold, then hot
Think I'm on fire, but I'm not
Oh, what a pain I've got
It must be love

There's nothing I can do
All that I want is you
Look what I'm going through
It must be love

Chorus:
It must be love, it must be love
I fall like a sparrow, fly like a dove
You must be the dream, I've been dreamin'of

Oh what a feeling, it must be love

Something is wrong alright
I think of you all night
Can't sleep till morning light
It must be love

Seeing you in my dreams
Holding you close to me




Oh what else can it be
It must be love.
