Something
Perry Como Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how
Don't wanna leave her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows,
Something in her style that shows me
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how
Don't wanna leave her now
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her,
Something in the things she shows me
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how
Don't wanna leave her now
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe in how
Don't wanna leave her now
Don't wanna leave her now
