It always is
That's just the way it goes
Feels like I've waited so long for this
I wonder if it shows
Head under water
Now I can't breathe
'Cause I can feel it coming over me
I wouldn't stop it if I could
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can't deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
'Cause something's here tonight
Give me a reason
I gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Can't you see me here on overload
And this time I blame you
Looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right, like I know you can
We could lose it all
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can't deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
'Cause something's here tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I-I-I'll be loving you all the time, it's true
'Cause I-I-I'll want to make it right, with you
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
Over, over, over, over
Over, over, over, over
Over, over
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
You know you can't deny
When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah)
'Cause something's here tonight
The lyrics to David Guetta's hit song 'When Love Takes Over' featuring Kelly Rowland talks about the complicated nature of love and the impact it can have on our emotions. The first verse acknowledges how complex love can be, but it also implies that the wait for love is worth it. The second verse switches to the emotional state of being overwhelmed, with the singer feeling as though they're underwater and yet able to breathe. The chorus is a declaration of the power of love, that you can't deny when love takes over.
The pre-chorus and the bridge indicate the singer's vulnerability and desperation, asking for a reason to hold onto love and expressing a desire to be loved right. In this moment, the person singing admits to being at risk of losing it all, but that doesn't necessarily matter when love takes over. The song’s upbeat and energetic tone musically complements these romantic and hopeful emotions. It conveys the message that love is powerful and can overcome anything.
