Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you baby

Time, I have been patient for so long
How can I pretend to be so strong?
Looking at you baby,
Feeling it too baby,
If I'm asking you to hold me tight
Then it's gonna be all night

[Chorus]
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more then I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you baby
It's gonna be it's gonna be love

Time, am I restless or a fool
How can you pretend to be so cruel?
Maybe it's me baby,
Maybe it's you baby,
Maybe it's everything we're been dreaming of
We've waited long enough

[Chorus]

The sooner you let two hearts beat together
The sooner you know this love is forever

It's gonna be love

Love needs time now or never

Its gonna be love

[backup singers] you really got to believe
[both] it's gonna be strong enough

[Chorus]

It's gonna be love
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me baby,
It's gonna be you baby
It's gonna be me baby
It's gonna be you





It's gonna be real
It's gonna be love
