Dynamite
Jermaine Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know too much but I know love the way I've been touched
It's your love that heats me up
And there's no such thing as too much

'Cause I don't know any better
No, I don't know when it's time to stop, no

All night you give me what I like
Intense, high explosive dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you supply the spark I like
Intense, heavy dose of dynamite
Pure dynamite

Wild things can't be tamed under my skin and it's just the same
I'm wading, ignited
And there's no way I'll ever fight it

'Cause I don't know any better
No, no I don't know when it's time, time for me to stop, no, no

All night you give me what I like
Intense, high explosive dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you supply the spark I like
Intense, heavy dose of dynamite
Pure dynamite

I don't want any other
I don't want any time to stop, oh no

All night you give me what I like
Intense, high explosive dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you supply the spark I like
Intense, heavy dose of dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you give me what I like
Intense, high explosive dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you supply the spark I like
Intense, heavy dose of dynamite
Pure dynamite

Girl you got me crazy
I'm runnin' 'round for you
Baby, I'm just crazy 'bout you
Dynamite, pure dynamite

Girl you got me crazy
I'm runnin' 'round for you
Baby, I'm just crazy 'bout you
Dynamite, pure dynamite

Girl you got me crazy
I'm runnin' 'round for you
Baby, I'm just crazy 'bout you
Dynamite, pure dynamite

Girl you got me crazy
I'm runnin' 'round for you
Baby, I'm just crazy 'bout you
Dynamite, pure dynamite

Just call my name
You know I lied to you
All my last words
I know you're the one

All night you give me what I like
Intense, high explosive dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you supply the spark I like
Intense, heavy dose of dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you give me what I like
Intense, high explosive dynamite
Pure dynamite

All night you supply the spark I like




Intense, heavy dose of dynamite
Pure dynamite

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

@BlessThePOOR_Everyday

YES!!!!!!!!!

@basilmarasco1975

My feelings exactly when I hear certain songs from that era. "Drive" by the Cars is another one. "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley is still another. But there are quite a few

@jaymarlongley2364

@bleep77 I know I'm late to the party but I couldn't have said what you said any better. I just wish I could go back to that time and just take it all in, took it for granted when it was actually happening.

@ericcartman9042

So sick of people stealing this comment, it's even on country songs

@elizabethdraper8490

Do Whatcha Do does that to me.
