Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That Loving me could be like this
But you're not alone
My mind was blown
I could not resist
And now I find myself
Taken over by the feeling
It's too late to say goodbye now
There's a place in me
That belongs to you, baby
So relax and be mine
Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, I'll show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Too Bad for you
You can't free yourself from me
Don't bother to
You'll have to stay here forever
And now you find yourself
Taken over by the feelin'
And you know within your heart
It's too late to say goodbye, now
There's a place in you that belongs
to me, baby
So relax and be mine
Honey, I can't feel sorry for ya
You've got me lovin' you so much
I just can't let go
You should've known one day
That love was gonna catch up to ya
And now you know
Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, I'll show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
Flyin' high in the friendly skies
Feels so good sometimes it makes me cry
This love's got to be here for always
I can't give you up,
I won't give you up
No way
Now that loves taken over me
What will I do now
Now that loves taken over you
Baby, I'll show you
How it feels to live in ecstasy
Ecstasy, ecstasy
Now that loves taken over
