Part Of Me
Joel Leggett Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not saying that you shouldn't leave, no
I'm not saying that
No, not at all
I'm not saying that it breaks my heart no
I'm not saying that
No, not at all

But darling, please

Listen this time

'Cause I'm a man of the ocean
My hearts in the sea
I hope that one day you'd be a part of me
With those eyes like ocean
Salt in your hair
And when you speak
It's like the warm summer air
On my lips
And my heart beats out of my chest
On my lips
And my heart beats out of my chest

I'm not saying that you shouldn't leave, no
I'm not saying that
No, not at all
I'm not saying that it breaks my heart no
I'm not saying that
No, not at all

But darling, please
Listen this time

'Cause I'm a man of the ocean
My hearts in the sea
I hope that one day you'd be a part of me
With those eyes like ocean
Salt in your hair
And when you speak
It's like the warm summer air
On my lips
And my heart beats out of my chest
On my lips
And my heart beats out of my chest

And all I know
I'm taking the time to say
And all I know
I know you're beautiful
You're beautiful

'Cause I'm a man of the ocean
My hearts in the sea
I hope that one day you'd be a part of me
With those eyes like ocean
Salt in your hair
And when you speak
It's like the warm summer air
On my lips
And my heart beats out of my chest

On my lips
And my heart beats out of my chest
