Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somethin' in the air is got me feeling like I want it 2nite
Ohhh, ohhh
Somethin' in the air is got me feeling like I want it 2nite

Close the door
Eternal lights
Make me feel wonderful and feel tonight
I like control
So let me right
If you're strong, hold up boy and forget the time

If you're curious, don't you wanna know
(Don't you wanna know, wanna know)
Justify your peek, my love can go
Somethin' in the air tonight

[Chorus]
I don't want to be alone
I need you to keep me warm
Baby reach out, touch me
Somethin' in the air is got me feeling like I, baby 2nite
But I feel this so so real
I want you to take me there
Baby reach out, touch me
Somethin' in the air is got me feeling like I want it 2nite

My body's here
I'm soakin' wet
I wanna give you somethin' that you wont forget
Your appetite
You're so for me
Maybe you can never at all, just wait and see

If you're curious, don't you wanna know
(Don't you wanna know, wanna know)
Justify your peek, my love can go
Can't you feel it, somethin' in the air tonight

[Chorus]

Boy, you're what I want, give it all you got
Please don't ever stop
Doin' thang to me yeah, keep doin' thing to me, yeah
Is this what you like
Dont make sense to fight, do it all night
Keep doin' thang to me, yeah

This is what I want, we both know
That the time is so right (time is so right)
Boy I need, you so much
Please don't leave me alone (leave me alone)
Tonight

Don't leave me tonight
Don't leave me alone tonight
Don't leave me tonight
Somethin' in the air tonight





[Chorus]
