Oh My Goodness
Murs Olly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just smiled when you walked by me
Oh my goodness
Warning signs that no one showed me
Lost control, but please don't hold me back
Gonna go for it, I hope you're ready for it
Oh
I'm going too fast, heart first
My head just can't slow me down
And I don't care if you don't break my fall
You got me dreaming of a life
That anybody else would die for
I'm rolling downhill, no brakes
Can't go back now, it's too late, oh
It's too late to look away, and unfeel what I feel for you
Look away, and unsee what I see in you
I'm gonna go for it, I hope you're ready
Cause I don't know if I can stop now
I'm going too fast, heart first
My head just can't slow me down
And I don't care if you don't break my fall
You got me dreaming of a life
That anybody else would die for
Oh baby, anybody else would die for
First sight I believed in first sight
No second thoughts in my mind, just felt right
Oh my goodness, oh oh
Cause I don't know if I can stop now
I'm going too fast, heart first
My head just can't slow me down
And I don't care if you don't break my fall
You got me dreaming of a life
That anybody else would die for
You got me dreaming of a life
That anybody else would die for
Anybody else would die for

The first two lines reveal this feeling with the exclamation of "Oh my goodness," which the singer can't hide from the person they're attracted to.

Olly is one of the nicest and most genuine artists of all time. Always has time for all his fans no matter how tired he is or if he's in a rush. He is the nicest person I've ever met and I am proud to call him my idol. I will always love him and I am so proud of him. 💕xx

I remember hearing this for the first time and it was a song that really told a story. It's a common case in his songs. He's so fantastic, my best friend went to see him early in June and she loved it. Olly is so good, he is one of the singers that inspires me to sing as well as one of the first artists I listened to when I was expanding my music bracket. His music is like a reminder to me that everything is fine no matter what
@jamiebutler
He is so underrated and it's a shame alot of folks don't know about him
