Moody's Mood For Love
Queen Latifah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry about you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?
Oh pretty baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so crazy daddy
And I never knew what love's all about
James Moody, you can come on in man
And you can blow now if you want to
We're through
Queen Latifah's song "Moody's Mood For Love" is a soulful rendition of James Moody's 1952 jazz classic. The lyrics depict the overwhelming feeling of love and infatuation that the singer experiences every time she is in the presence of her significant other. The opening verse of "There I go, there I go, there I go, pretty baby," is an expression of excitement and anticipation upon seeing the person who makes her heart race. The singer confesses that she loses control when her lover is around, and that a single smile from them is enough to cast a spell on her.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly enamored with her lover, describing them as the light in her life and the source of her happiness. She expresses her readiness to do anything her lover desires and declares that she is in the mood for love. The chorus of the song repeats this sentiment and adds a note of wonder as to why she feels this way.
In the closing verse, the singer implores her lover not to leave her, stating that together, they can withstand any hardship that comes their way. She also acknowledges that she has never experienced love before and invites jazz musician James Moody to play his saxophone, adding a touch of improvisation to the classic melody.
Overall, "Moody's Mood For Love" is a beautiful testimony to the power of love and how it can affect a person's mood and behavior.

My dearest one
Won't you please let me love you
Allow me to express the depth of my love
And give a relief from this awful misery?
Ease my pain and suffering
Oh pretty baby, you make me feel so good
You make me feel alive and complete
Let me take you by the hand
Allow me to guide you
Come let us visit out there
Let's explore the world together
In that new promised land
Let's discover new possibilities
Maybe there we can find
Perhaps we will discover
A good place to use a loving state of mind
A place where we can express and share our love
I'm so crazy daddy
I am wild and passionate
And I never knew what love's all about
I never understood what true love was until I met you
James Moody, you can come on in man
An invitation to James Moody to enter and perform his music
And you can blow now if you want to
You are welcome to play your music now if you like
We're through
