Butterflies
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, It's Jo jo,
Welcome to my world,

(Chorus)
I feel butterflies,
Floating around inside,
Whenever I'm with you,
I feel butterflies,
Floating around inside,
I don't know what you do,
But I feel butterflies,

(Verse 1)
It's such a funny thing,
Everytime you come around,
I get this feeling,
Kinda tingles, kinda tickles,
Makes my heart sing,
I'm all wrapped up,
In a cocoon of
This emotion that you bring,

(Chorus)
I feel butterflies,
Floating around inside,
Whenever I'm with you,
I feel butterflies,
Floating around inside,
I don't know what you do,
But I feel butterflies,

(Verse 2)
My heart beat begins to race,
My mind drifts to another place,
And I feel like I can fly,
Free as the wind, I can't pretend,
I wish we were more than friends,
And I know the reason why,

(Chorus)
I feel butterflies,
Floating around inside,
Whenever I'm with you,
I feel butterflies,
Floating around inside,
I don't know what you do,
But I feel butterflies,

I feel, I feel, Butterflies, Butterflies
(Repeat twice)
Butterflies, butterflies
Ooooh oh
Lalalalalalalala
(Beat bopping)





Spoken: It's JoJo (laughs) Yeah, that's right. I feel butterflies

Why didnโ€™t she re-record this song in the new version of the album? It was one of my favourites! I remember I used to have it as an alarm when I was in secondary school. Never got tired of it!

Demo Noiac

JoJo probably didn't wanna have to deal with international copyright issues since "Butterflies" is Europe's exclusive song.

Erik Choi

Because this song was only for the European/International release, she re-recorded the US album version songs only ๐Ÿ˜

A Smith

The albums are now on streaming and this is missing off the original albums as well. There must be some legal reason for this track not being released by the label.

Well her voice canโ€™t hit those high notes as before. She would have to change it

atlnikka
