Lynne Jeff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your heart could talk I wonder what it would tell me
If your mind could walk would it bring me a love never ending
Yes, I've got to know
I've got to know
No secrets anymore
You've got to tell me

All your days have gone a goin' to a go-go
Now the time has come, is it gonna be a no no, no no
I've got to know
I've got to know
No secrets anymore
You've got to tell me

Tell me every little thing that makes you happy, Oh oh oh
Every little thing that makes you glad
All of the secrets that you hide I got to know
Whoa, every little thing

You've gotta stop all your reservations
Am I for the chop or is it celebrations?
Yes, I've got to know
I've got to know
No secrets anymore
You've got to tell me

Tell me every little thing that makes you happy, Oh oh oh
Every little thing that makes you glad
All of the secrets that you hide I got to know
Whoa, every little thing

Tell me every little thing
Every little thing

Tell me every little thing that makes you happy, Oh oh oh
Every little thing that makes you glad




All of the secrets that you hide I got to know
Whoa, every little thing

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby,

It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin a dive
Oh moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken
And you and your sweet desire,
You took me ohh, higher and higher baby

I'm takin a dive. Off the stage. Hey!!
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive
Ah so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream, I'm takin' , I'm takin'
And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it ,
You took me ohh higher and higher baby

John Lennon and also Paul Mc Cartney once said that ELO is what the Beatles would have eventually sounded like if they had continued as a band into the 1970's and beyond.

@kahpunktscholzthetruth3738

Clinton Hoffmann Really??

@Grade.patrick

Probably bad phrasing, I believe he meant that John Lennon implied that if The Beatles would have continued, they would have sounded like ELO.

@zhangjao6328

Viking Song Sounds like John Lennon, yep.

@JS-ll8ro

Viking Song yeah, whilst a genius he might have been, he was an arrogant one!
