Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
I don't got time for the rigamaroo
Told lil mama that I'm feeling you boo
It's the fact that I'm the one not the two
Told her she could be the one with me too
I talk my shit now she done fell in love
She feeling the vibes yea my body she rub
Told lil mama it's hard for me to trust
She whispered in my ear she can't get enough
Came to my senses and told lil mama all I'm worried bout is guap I ain't worried bout a bitch
Everybody with me getting guap right now I know they never gon switch
She so materialistic that if I went broke I know she gon jump ship
But she such a freak if she don't get no backshots from me she throw a fit (KaChow)
Watch how a young nigga move I keep 16 in the clip (forreal)
This not appetizer but I pick up the chips and I dip (forreal)
I keep that shit way to G she love my mentality (I know)
She gave that kitty to me I put that kitty to sleep (forreal)
She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
She say she love me
But I can't tell
Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale
She say she love me
But I can't tell




Just wish me well
Cause my love not for sale

Line by Line Meaning

I'm in the mood for love
I am feeling romantic and affectionate


Simply because you're near me.
My feelings are a result of your proximity to me


Funny, but when you're near me
It's interesting that my mood changes when you're around


Heaven is in your eyes
Your eyes are so beautiful and captivating


Bright as the stars we're under
Your eyes are as bright and wonderful as the stars in the sky above us


Oh! Is it any wonder
It's not surprising at all


I'm in the mood for love?
That I feel romantic and affectionate


Why stop to think of whether
There's no need to worry about


This little dream might fade?
Our love and connection may not last


We've put our hearts together
We've joined our feelings and emotions


Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
I feel secure and confident now that we are together


If there's a cloud above
If there are obstacles or challenges that arise


If it should rain we'll let it
We'll face them together, come what may


But for tonight, forget it!
We'll focus on our love and embrace the present moment


I'm in the mood for love
That I feel romantic and affectionate

I was in downtown Salem, OR and folks were dancing on the sidewalk to a jazzy version of this via the outdoor speakers: so very very gorgeous

@scotnick59

Timeless and soul-stirring is this great standard!!

@dzhegertwo4520

One of my favorite Cole Porter songs. This is a wonderful, lively version and I love the appropriate and whimsical images too!

@johnmanno2052

The words to this number are quite risqué. I was always amazed when I played it.

@scotnick59

Yes - so much so that it was banned from being heard (lyric-wise) on the radio during the thirties

@matthewdilday7918

Good song. You have good taste in music.

@RatPfink66

Damn. They blow the doors off this tune!

@scotnick59

I love that string-plucking part @46

@solet579
