Jamiroquai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had a little thing I'd love to keep
Every movement carried so much mystique
I knew right then I'd carry on, to you I knew my heart belonged
You, you give me something
Something that nobody else can give
And my heart, has started thumpin'
You're the one I truly know I dig
Like the sunbeams from a perfect summer's day
Heaven only seems a step away
When I'm with you, I just celebrate
I'm hoping my message gets through
There's never been someone like you
I had nobody, but on you I would lean
'Cause you got these little things that
I know I've never seen
You now, you give me something
Something that nobody else has got
And this love, that I've been wanting
Oh baby's turning out too fast to stop
You know, you give me something
Something that nobody else can give
See my heart has started thumpin'
You're the one I truly know I dig
