Something's Happenin'
Lisa Stansfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't ask a question, then I won't tell a lie
Didn't want connections, but this thing is taking over
It's workin' overtime, I didn't know emotions

Could make me feel this high
I feel like I could fly, like luck is on my side

Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why
Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'

I've lost control over my own heart
It's got me reeling now, and this is just the start
Know where you come from, I'm in touch with your mind
No, this can't be undone
This love is for all time
It wasn't meant to hide
It's warming me inside

Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why
Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'

Could make me feel this high
I feel like I could fly, like luck is on my side

Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why
Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'

Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why
Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'

Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why
Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'

Somethin's happenin'
I don't know what, I don't know why




Somethin' unbelievable, somethin's happenin'
Ain't no matter how I try, I can't shake the feelin'
