Speechless
Musiq & Musiq Soulchild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me going crazy
I can't seem to get you out of my
You look so good to me gotta tell
Even my friends worry about me
Day and night I think about you
Don't know what I go through to forget about you
I can't say that I know much about you
[Chorus]
All I know you got me speechless
All I know you got me speechless
Now I've seen plenty girls in my
Like you I never had the pleasure
Before I get too far ahead of my
Heart says I need to be wit you I
I don't mean to be comin' off like
I apologize if I'm being
But I'm really diggin' on
And I'm hoping you feel it too
[Chorus: x2]
What I can't figure out is
Why it's so hard for me to find
The right words to say to you no matter how many words I use
Nothing's good enough to tell you how I feel about you baby
How, how, how
The lyrics of Musiq & Musiq Soulchild's Speechless talks about the emotions of an individual who has fallen deeply in love with someone they hardly know. The song's opening verse speaks about the singer's love interest, who has captivated his heart and made him go crazy. He cannot seem to stop thinking about her, and even his friends are worried about him. The chorus repeats the phrase "All I know you got me speechless" to emphasize how the person's feelings of love and adoration are so profound that he cannot express them in words.
In the second verse, the singer admits that he has seen many girls before, but none of them compares to the one he's currently falling in love with. His heart is convinced that he needs to be with her, but he acknowledges that he may be moving too quickly. He expresses his feelings for her, saying that he hopes she feels the same way, but he's not quite sure. The bridge of the song adds to the theme of speechlessness, as the singer admits that he cannot find the right words to express how he feels about his love interest.
