Let's Talk About Us
Joan Armatrading Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's have a nice long talk about us
You start
Let's go out
Let's walk down the street
We'll fool around
Walking on the curb
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
Right from the start
You treated me just the way you should
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
I knew you were the one
Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time
Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you
Romance me
Sweet talk me
Send me weak at the knees
Let's dance around the room
I've always wanted you
I dreamed of you at night
I couldn't see your face
But I knew you were the one
Good things happening for us all the time
Good things happening for us all the time
Everyday I get a little sunshine
Even though the day's a rainy day
Everyday you give me all your loving
And I thank you
