Each Other
Kelly Rowland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Right
Yeah
Turn the lights on
Just because you walked out that door
That don't mean I don't want you no more
But a girl like me is so hard to take
Now I'm screaming how you'd get here
Runnin' around all through my mind
I wish your body would reappear
I won't let you run out this time
[Chorus]
Because the two of us
Were meant to love
Love
Each other
And I know the two of us were meant to touch
Touch
Each other
["Turn the lights on"]
He didn't even tell me his name
But I swear I still feel him here
His kisses took away all my pain
His touches took away all my fears
Can ya still smell my perfume
Ya pictures tattooed in my brain
I wish that he was up in my room
So I'm off to Paris, can't miss my train
[Chorus]
And someday love is gonna bring us closer baby
That's why I'm never givin' it up
And I give you all of me, down to the heart of me
There's no escapin' our love
[Chorus]
