Is it love
J.J. Fad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for the phone to ring
Hoping it will be the man of my dreams
Sittin' starin'
Tossin' and turnin'
Phone please ring I'm just burnin' and burnin' with
Anticipation
The situation
For waitin' around
But just to talk to, makes my heart pound
I don't understand the feelings I have
But I know my body shivers when he crosses my path
I hope he lasts forever like the heavens above
He makes me feel so good
But is it love? love, love, love
I may be young, but my feelings are true
Some people think I don't know what to do
But I do
'Cause that's how I'm living
That's why my man are constantly giving me
Roses, and flowers and beautiful gifts
And I really love the way it feels when we kiss
But don't get me wrong because I'm as pure as the snow
I'm waiting for the right man don't you know
And when I find him I hope that we're as tight as a glove
But I have to ask myself, is it love? love, love, love
Am I being silly? Or can this really be?
That I've really fallen in love so easily?
I haven't known him long
But the feelings are real
Content and satisfied is how I feel
Whenever he's near me, and even when he's not
My heart is on fire and I just can't seem to stop
Wanting him, needing him, calling out his name
Is it love, or is it insane
Only time will tell if we'll reach the white glove
'Cause I need to know, is it love? love, love, love
The song "Is It Love" by J.J. Fad is about a young woman who is waiting for the man of her dreams to call her. She is sitting around anxiously waiting for the phone to ring, and when it does, she is overjoyed to hear from him. Her physical reaction to being around him is electric, and she questions whether the feeling she has is love or not. The song speaks to the uncertainty and excitement of young love, and the intense emotions that come with it.
In the first verse of the song, the singer is waiting anxiously for the phone to ring, hoping that the man she is waiting for will call her. She is so excited to hear from him that she can't sit still and is constantly fidgeting with anticipation. She realizes that her feelings are intense, but she doesn't quite understand them. She questions if what she is feeling is love, or if she is just being crazy.
The second verse of the song speaks to the misperception that young people don't know what they're doing when it comes to love. The singer asserts that, despite her youth, her feelings are genuine and her heart is true. She appreciates the gifts and attention that her man gives her, but asserts that she is waiting for the right man to sweep her off her feet. She questions if what she is feeling is really love or just infatuation, and wonders if they will end up living happily ever after.
Overall, "Is It Love" is a song that speaks to the uncertainty and excitement of young love, and the intense emotions that come with it. The lyrics convey a sense of hope and optimism, as well as a longing for something more.

Wanting him, needing him, calling out his name
I desire him, need him, and call out his name
Is it love, or is it insane
I still question if these feelings are true love or if they are irrational
Only time will tell if we'll reach the white glove
Only time will tell if we will have a successful relationship
'Cause I need to know, is it love? love, love, love
I want to know if my feelings are truly love

This should have been bigger than SUPERSONIC!
One of my favorite Dr. Dre Beats ever...
@thegreatone6272
Not at all. Their delivery on her is mid even for this times standards. Supersonic was way better.

JJ Fad was in the New Edition video NE Heartbreak

Old school rappers would always have one slow song plus they would always be wearing sweaters or good looking suits putting away the high tops shoes
