In All the Right Places
Lisa Stansfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you take me straight to heaven
I could never fall
'Cause loving you is what I'm made for
I'd gladly give my all and all

It doesn't matter where I am
As long as I'm with you
You can take me high above
Whatever I've been dreaming of

[Chorus]
In all the right places, it's feeling so good
In all the right places. just like it should
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you

If we're dancing all alone
Or in a crowded room
When you wrap your arms around me
You can always send me to the moon

When we kiss our sugar kisses
And the music starts to play
We've got love, we've got each other
And we're going all the way

[Chorus]

Find time's never wasted, when it's ours to kill
I know in all the right places, you're touching me still
And I swear, I love you
And I swear, I love you

And I swear, I love you




And I swear, I love you
I love you

Absolutely outstanding. What a voice, what a track. The modern era truly cannot compete with this kind of class. And I’m guessing she can still belt ‘em out. Real talent.

Hard to imagine why this track only reached #8 in the UK back in '93. Quite possibly the best love song of all time. Outstanding.

@JM800

Much credit goes to both Lisa and the songwriter, beautiful song, beautiful Lisa
