Stormy Weather
Kooks The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ain't, yeah, you ain't so clever
You got it all made up
But it feels like love, love, love
Oh, yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
I sit around to pass the time
And I live in a world oh-so-small
That I can't get around at all
And it feels like love, love, love
Oh, yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
Oh, I didn't mean it
What did I do
Oh, to hurt you?
I didn't mean it
Oh, oh, I didn't mean it!
I'm not saying it's all made up
There's people there to calm your head
But I'll sing out another song
Won't kill that, so beautiful
So it feels like love, love, love
Oh, yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
What did I say?
What did I say?
What did I say?
Oh, I didn't mean it
What did I do
Oh, to hurt you?
What did I do?
I didn't mean it
Oh, oh, I didn't mean it!
And it feels like love, love, love,
Yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
Yes, it feels like love, love, love
Yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
Oh, yes, it feels like love, love, love
Oh, yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
Oh, yes, it feels like love, love, love
Oh, yes, it feels like love, love, love

Line by Line Meaning
You sat like stormy weather from my window sill
Your presence felt as intense and unpredictable as a storm from where I stood
You ain't, yeah, you ain't so clever
Despite your confidence, you're not as smart as you think you are
You got it all made up
You have everything planned out in your mind
But it feels like love, love, love
Despite the chaos, my feelings for you are strong
Oh, yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
Your presence is palpable and intense, like a physical touch
I sit around to pass the time
I have nothing to do but wait for something to happen
I try to get it off my mind
I attempt to forget about you, but it's not easy
And I live in a world oh-so-small
I feel limited and trapped in my own small world
That I can't get around at all
It feels impossible to escape my current situation
What did I say?
What mistake did I make?
What did I do
What action did I take?
Oh, to hurt you?
That unintentionally caused you harm?
I'm not saying it's all made up
I'm not invalidating your plans and ideas
There's people there to calm your head
There are people to help you think clearly
But I'll sing out another song
Despite everything, I will continue to make music
Won't kill that, so beautiful
I won't let my passion die because it's too precious to me
Yes, it feels like love, love, love
My connection to you is strong and undeniable
Oh, yes, it feels like touch, touch, touch
Your presence is tangible and seductive
