Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look at me
(You can't help it you're feeling butterflies)
It's obvious
There's some chemistry
(I think I know why it feels so right)
Girl, I wanted so long to know
Now you're telling me you gotta let it go
I never thought this day would come
(This is something that I've wanted in my life)
I realize that you're the one
(And you're telling me it's time to say goodbye)
What's inside of my heart
It ain't gonna change
So it shouldn't be so easy to walk away
(You feel it, I feel it, let's not pretend)
Baby, I don't know what love is
Maybe I'm a fool
I just know what I'm feeling
And it's all because of you
Don't tell me
I don't know
I want the truth
'Cause they call it
We call it
You call it
I call it love
It's so clear for you to see
(Don't let nobody tell you what to do)
Why they can't they just let us be happy
(I don't want to find somebody new)
If you know what's really in your heart
Then don't let them tear us apart
('Cause you feel it, I feel it, let's think this through)
Baby, I don't know what love is
Maybe I'm a fool
I just know what I'm feeling
And it's all because of you
Don't tell me
I don't know
I want the truth
'Cause they call it
We call it
You call it
I call it love
We have a bond that's unbreakable
And it's not time to let it go (We're in love)
And now that we know it's real
We are going to let it show
To the whole world
That I'm yours forever
And you're my girl
(You are my girl)
Baby, I don't know what love is
Maybe I'm a fool
I just know what I'm feeling
And it's all because of you
Don't tell me
I don't know
I want the truth
'Cause they call it
We call it
You call it
I call it love
Baby, I don't know what love is
Maybe I'm a fool
I just know what I'm feeling
And it's all because of you
Don't tell me
I don't know
I want the truth
'Cause they call it
We call it
You call it
I call it love
Love
They call it love
I call it love
