You Put A Move On My Heart
Quincy Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I just want you to understand
Just exactly how you make me feel
Ooh, yeah
I want to feel you next to me, ooh

Time after time, when I'm feelin' low
Something inside of me, lets me know
It's alright, love's on my side
When the world seems a lonely place
I've got a dream that won't leave a trace
Of the blues
I just think of you, baby, I know

I've got a real thing, here by my side
Someone who needs me, holding me tight
And these special feelings won't ever fade
'Cause I knew, I knew from the start
You put a move on my heart

Baby, our love's like a melody
Playing for us in the sweetest key
You could find the music of life
And when we touch
There's the warmest glow
Heat in the passion
That heaven knows is a dream
Just for you, you and me
And baby, I know

I got a real love
I got a real thing, the love of my life
Someone who needs me
Someone who needs me and it fills me with pride
Baby, now
Now and forever, we'll never part
'Cause you're the world to me
You put a move on my heart

I got a real thing
I've got a real love, yes I do
(And you're someone, baby) someone who needs me
You're someone, baby
You're someone that needs a true love
And these special feelings, time can't erase
Baby, believe me
This is a dream and suga
I knew, I knew from the start
You put a move on my me
Ooh, you got through to my heart, yeah
You got through to my heart, baby, oh yeah

Baby, can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (hold me, baby)
Put your hand in mine, love me 'til the end of time
Hold me, love me (hold me, baby, and don't let go)

Baby can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (I want you to touch me the right way)
Put your hand in mine, love me 'til the end of time
Hold me, love me

Hold me, love me (I want you right here, right now)
(Lay by my side, suga, thrill me tonight)
Hold me, love me (I want to feel you in my arms, babe)

Baby, can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (oh and you know and I love when you're lovin' me)
Put your hand in mine, love me 'til the end of time (Mm, come closer)
Hold me, love me

(I want to feel your body pressed against mine)
Baby, can't you see, you and I were meant to be
Hold me, love me (that's right)




Put your hand in mine (right there)
Love me til the end of time
