Foreigner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up your window
Open up your door
I need a taste of your sweet, sweet love
That's all I'm livin' for

I've been down on my luck
Down on my knees
Just waitin' for a chance to show you, baby
I only aim to please

Hey, hey, honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Hey, little honey
You won't believe what's goin' through my mind

I'll build a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Every time I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)

See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love

There ain't no use in pretendin'
'Cause I've got my eyes on you, baby
The first time that I saw you girl, I knew
Nobody else would do

Hey, hey, honey
Take a little trip, take a ride with me
Hey, little honey
'Cause I've got something you've just gotta see

It's a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
High enough to touch the sky
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)

See it risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love

Hey, hey, honey
I'm out on the edge, I'm on the borderline
Say, little honey
Come with me and we'll climb, climb, climb

Up on a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
High enough to touch the sky
A mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Can't you feel it burnin' up inside

I'm gonna build a mountain of love
Every time I think of you
You'll feel a mountain of love
(Mountain of love)
Risin' up, and all you've gotta do
Is get high on my mountain of love, yeah

Get on up
Build me that, babe
Climb on top now
Get up




Oh, I'm gonna get high on my mountain of love
Yeah, yeah

Je suis fiere d'être de cette génération ❤
J'avoue que les années 80 étaient les meilleures musicalement parlant..
Y'avait une morale sur des airs rythmés qui donnaient envie de s'éclater 😊

Cette chanson a toujours été ma préférée, peut être mon côté Rebelle qui voulait vivre sa vie comme elle l'entendait, et tant pis si ça choquait 😂
Dire que j'étais amoureuse de lui ❤

C'était une période où on ne se prenait pas la tête, comme être à moto sans casque, fumer dans les lieux publics et j'en passe 😂

Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens 😢
