She Makes My Day
Robert Palmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy lovin' her
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
Now I know her
She fills my heart with joy
(That's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She...
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
Our love was unintentional
She says we're not responsible
She thinks with her chin up
She always makes uncommon sense
Always knows just what to say
She always takes me unawares
In less time than it takes to fall down here
And there you are
We never fought it anyway
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
She fills my heart with joy
(that's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
I feel so lucky loving her
Tell me what else is magic for
She thinks it's better left unsaid
She makes her mind up at a glance
It really made a difference
I seem to be unconditionally hers
She's like a new girl every day
And all the rest don't bother me
I'm far too busy lovin' her
I'll never be lonely now I know her
She...
She fills my heart with joy
(that's in our best interest. she makes my day)
She just has to smile to blow my cares away
She just has to touch my hand to make me stay
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
She's all good lovin' at once
