My Name
Lena Philipsson Lyrics

This is the story about love
The song is about the experience of falling in love.

When you are struck by love
When you fall in love, it can feel like you've been struck by a force beyond your control.

Don't let go, don't let go
When you find someone you love, it's important to hold onto them and not let them go.

I was walking down the street
The singer was simply walking down the street when she saw the man she fell in love with.

And suddenly I saw this man
The singer saw the man suddenly - it was unexpected.

Ooh, and I felt he was one of my kind

And he surely looked my way

And what did you say - well I said to myself
The singer is talking about the thoughts that were going through her head when she saw the man.

It's now or never
The singer realized that she should take the opportunity to talk to the man, or else she might never get the chance again.

And what did you do - dooo, well girls,
The singer is addressing her female listeners, as if she's telling them a story about what happened.

I walked up to him
The singer approached the man she saw.

Cleared my throat and said
The singer prepared herself before speaking to the man.

My name is Lena Ph
The singer introduced herself to the man by name.

I am a secret agent in visions
This line is poetic and mysterious, suggesting that the singer is someone who can see things others can't.

I travel through time and space

I am a moving face in your senses
The singer is describing herself as someone who can cause sensations in others.

In anyway you like it

In anyway you want it

I'm the woman for you

Ooh, tell me darling -

Where did you get this fancy smile

I wanna show you so badly,

Everything I am tonight

And what did he do - well you know how it is
The singer is addressing her listeners again, as if she's continuing the story she started earlier.

When you're struck by love
The singer is repeating a line from earlier in the song.

You gotta sit down and catch your breath
Falling in love can be overwhelming or exciting, making you feel like you need to take a moment to collect yourself.

And what he say - say, say, what did he say
The singer is asking what the man said to her in response to her approach.

He just smiled at me
The man smiled at the singer without saying anything.

So I'd better tell him once again
The singer decides to tell the man her name again, perhaps feeling that her introduction didn't have much of an impact the first time.

Come along - it can't go wrong
The singer is inviting the man to come with her somewhere.

I can show you a colour

You've never seen before

I can give you a taste of land

You can explore
The singer is inviting the man to explore this new taste with her.

An interchange of our chemistries

In the universe of confidence

Don't worry about the hugging

The kissing and the loving

'Cause I'll teach you all I know

About the birds and the bees

We can laugh together

We can cry together

We can travel the world

Play it again Sam

That's a story about love
The song is a love story, and the singer is acknowledging this.
