Bliss
John Legend & Teyana Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh baby, the day you stepped into my world
You noticed I'm the kind of girl who loves her diamonds and white pearls
So tempt me to jet set away in London
To sip on some tea, you surprise me with gifts from Tiffany
Ooh (La la la la la la la la)
I love the way we livin' boy
But my daddy say, "You don't need that boy"
So let's run away, let's run away (way, way)
Mama say I'm too young for love
And lovin' you is all I'm thinkin' of
My heart tells me that you're the one
It's the feeling you give, it is

Pure bliss
Like you've got the key to my heart
Simple as a touch and a kiss
Never knew a feeling like this
Pure bliss, pure bliss
Nobody can tear us apart
Baby it's as good as it gets (Kiss kiss kiss kiss)
Loving you will never be hard
This is pure bliss

I remember, when the pilot closed the door
Said it's time for lift off, you said, "What'd you choose me for?"
Don't ever wonder
'Cause you deserve the best
Once you reach the top you'll never question why you left
My world is yours
What you waitin' for?
Let's run away
Let's run away
Our friends, say we're crazy
But we can't listen baby
They've never had it like this
They don't know what it is

Pure bliss
Like you've got the key to my heart
Simple as a touch and a kiss
Never knew a feeling like this
Pure bliss, pure bliss
Nobody can tear us apart
Baby it's as good as it gets (Kiss kiss kiss kiss)




Loving you will never be hard
This is pure bliss

Overall Meaning

The song "Bliss" by John Legend and Teyana Taylor expresses the powerful and romantic feelings of two lovers who are ready to take the leap into a lifelong commitment. From the opening line, Teyana's verse is striking as she highlights her love for fine things such as diamonds and white pearls. Though she loves the luxurious lifestyle, Teyana is willing to leave behind everything just to be with the one she loves. She reminisces on the moments they had when they first met, the days when they were getting to know each other and how simple it was to connect.


Her parents are skeptical about their relationship, with her father advising her against dating John because he thinks she doesn't need him. Her mother, on the other hand, thinks she is too young for love, but Teyana knows that John is the one for her. The chorus echoes the pure bliss that she is experiencing with John. She feels like he has the key to her heart and nothing could ever come between them.


In the second verse, John Legend sings about how they both got together and how he assures her that she deserves the best. He emphasizes that he will always be there to give her his all and to make sure she realizes her dreams. They have made their love the priority and the people who surround them only want to tear them apart. The chorus repeats again with the aim of driving home the message of the pure bliss that they share.
