Brain On Love
K. Michelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooooooo!
There would not be music if we weren't meant to dance
I know I'm a handful, that's why you've got two hands!
One to be gentle, one to be strong
Keepin' me captive when it feels wrong
Lovin' me deep, dangerously
Higher than any drug
This is my brain on love
Wanna go up, I just can't get enough
This is my crutch, my pleasure and my pain
This is my brain on love!
Ohhhhhh
This is my brain on love
Ohhh, ooooo!
We're runnin' from somethin', and runnin' low on faith
And we won't have tomorrow if we don't live today!
When I was lonely, you were my prayer
How can you be here if you're not there?
Stay with me please, poisonously
Takin' me higher!
Higher than any drug
This is my brain on love
Wanna go home, I just can't get enough
This is my crutch, my pleasure and my pain
This is my brain on love!
Ohhhhhh
My brain on love
Whoa yeah, ohhhh
And now I know
Never really been in love before
Suddenly there ain't no ground beneath my feet!
Higher than any drug
This is my brain on love
Wanna go up, I just can't get enough
My crutch, my pleasure and my pain
This is my brain on love!
Ohhhhhh yeah
My brain on love
Whoaaaa
Brain on love!
In K. Michelle's song "Brain On Love", the singer explores the intense and overwhelming sensation of falling in love. She opens up the song by saying that if people weren't meant to dance, there would not be music. She acknowledges that she can be difficult to handle, but her partner has two hands - one to be gentle, and one to be strong. He keeps her captive even when it feels wrong, but she is deeply in love with him and feels like she's been taken higher than any drug.
As the chorus hits, K. Michelle sings about how she just can't get enough of her lover. She describes her love as her crutch, her pleasure, and her pain. She is addicted to the feeling of being in love and her brain is completely taken over by it. In the second verse, she talks about how they're running low on faith and time, and that they must cherish each moment they have together. She also acknowledges how much he has been there for her, and how much he means to her. Once again, she speaks of being poisoned with love and being taken higher than any drug.
Finally, in the bridge, K. Michelle admits that she has never been in love like this before. She feels like the ground beneath her feet has disappeared, and she can't get enough of this incredible feeling. She repeats the chorus one final time before the song fades out into the instrumental.
