I'm In The Mood For Love
Jamiroquai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it




But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm in the Mood for Love" from Jamiroquai is a heartfelt expression of the emotions that come with being in love. The singer expresses his feelings very descriptively, saying that he is in the mood for love "simply because you're near me." He says that when the person he loves is near him, he automatically feels this way. He also extols the beauty of his love's eyes, which he compares to the brightness of stars. He goes on to say that he is so happy and in love that he doesn't want to think about anything negative or let anything come between them.


The singer also touches on a common worry in relationships, which is whether his feelings will fade over time. However, he quickly dismisses this thought, saying that they have put their hearts together and are now one. He ends the song by saying that even if there are clouds in the sky or if it begins to rain, they will not let it bother them because they are both in the mood for love.

Perfect way to enter 2023:) I bought this album over 20 years ago, when people still bought albums:) still love it and still feel 25:)

I think this song is 20 years old now. I was at uni when I heard it for the first time and I was, of course, in love.
