Sunday Morning Breeze
Mannheim Steamroller Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somebody better call a doctor, doctor
Or wake me up with a shove
I'm gonna knock you off you're rocker, rocker
Because I think I'm in love
I tried to get a message to you
But you walked the other way

I need your magic touch, don't you know

I got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't let go, yeah!

Don't need no wedding with a shotgun, shotgun
So don't you push me too far
Don't try to take me for a fool child, who child
Do you think that you are
You really got it coming to you
It's gonna come as no surprise

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't let go, yeah!

You never know what you got
Till they take it away
I'm coming ready or not
Going to get you someday

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't let go, yeah!

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow

You better get it while it's hot now babe
Cause I can't let go, yeah!
