Devotion
Raven J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna be near you
It's nice to feel you
Now everything has turned
Something's coming
I'm not running
Is this what it's like
You feel like home
I haven't been for long
Catching feelings ain't a typical flow
So I hold you close, woah

I'm just going through the motions
Not even mixing up the potion
Straight out the bottle, got you open, got me open

DEVotion, DEVotion
Drowning Pon the love
Sinking deeper in the moment
DEVotion, DEVotion
This could be a phase but if it's not him it's no one

No one no one but you, you babe
No one, no one, no one (you you babe)
No one. No one but you, you babe
No one, no one, but you, ouuahhh

Shake your head for jumping in too quick
Thinking 'bout it can you sick
Whatta difference when you vibe with it
You'll know exactly what to make of this

Get ahold of your emotions
You've been mixing up the potion
Straight out the bottle, got you hoping, got me open

DEVotion, DEVotion
Drowning pon the love
Sinking deeper in the moment
DEVotion, DEVotion
This could be a phase but if it's not him it's no one

No one no one but you, you babe
No one, no one, no one (no one)
No one. No one but you, you babe
No one, no one, but you ohhhawhhh

No one but you, nobody but you, nobody, nobody, nobody but you
No one but you, no one but you, nobody, nobody, nobody but you

NO ONE
NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE (YOU YOU)
BABE
(No one, no one but you, you)
No one but you
Nobody but you
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody but you (no one but you)
Nobody but you (no one but you)





No one, No one but you, you, babe
