Back In Love
LTD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love
I get mixed emotions...it's the way my feelings flow
Excuse me I'm only human...sometimes I...I just don't know
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(do do do do do...back in love again...do do do do do)
Back in love
When you put your arms around me...I feel so satisfied
I want to love you forever...I just can't...I can't decide
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
Back in love...again

Now it's your lover...I know it's hard just to be a friend
That's something else I discovered...I guess I just don't ever want it to end
Every time I move I lose...when I look I'm in
And every time I turn around...I'm back in love again
(right back, right back...in love again...seems like, seems like)
That I'm back in love...again
(right back, right back...in love again) Alright (seems like, seems like)
I'm back in love again

I just don't believe it...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I can't believe it
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...I'm back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Every time I turn around...oh my love Jones coming down
Back in love again
(right back, I'm back) Alright...alright...alright
(I'm back, I'm back) Help me, help me, help me...back in love




(I'm back, I'm back) Oh yeah...back in love again
(right back, I'm back) I get so many mixed emotions...yes I do

You just don't see bands like this today. Can you imagine playing a horn instrument & dancing all synchronized in harmony? Fantastic. ☆☆☆☆☆

@harlemblues1967

I say that all the time!!!! These were musicians. Not today's music

@xmxm011

Or play guitar, dance and sing. I saw LTD perform back this was a hit.
So I ask these so called recording artists in the now. Find middle C on a piano....?

@MadridSoulbrother

Thats pure magic when music was an art. Those rhythm sections were legendary, think about E,W&F, Brass Construction, early Kool and The Gang and so many others. The fucking Golden Era.

I'm a multi-faceted musician but mostly a vocalist. These boys are straight funk and really good at it. Jeffery Osborne really never got the recognition he deserves. No doubt. High props to the horn section, back up singers...the whole band! If this song doesn't get you outta your chair and on the dancefloor...get your pulse checked. LOVE IT!!!

@cesarespinoza6185

Totally agree about his value not recognized

@pmoncelsinger700

One of the best male vocalist of our time. I just saw him in Vegas a few months ago and he still got it at 74 yrs old.

@MadridSoulbrother

He is one of the silky voices universe
