Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Must be love
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love
Must be love
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love

Something's got me upside down
And I never been like this before
Something's got me goin' in and out
And I never moved like this before

Something's glowin' ‘round my eyes
And I never looked like this before (Oh, no, no, no, no, no)
Something's brought this girl to life
And I never felt like this before
And I'm sure that was something that happened to me

Must be love
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love
Must be love (Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love (Oh, listen now)

Something's caught me by surprise [Must be love]
And I never opened up before [Ooh]
Something's got me mystified [Must be love]
And I never lost my cool before [Ooh, ooh, ooh]

Something's racing my heart beat
And I never lost like this before (Never, never, never)
Something's got a hold of me
And I never (Ah) touched like this before
And I know that was never is happening to me

Must be love (Ah...ah...ah...ah...)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love
Must be love (Ooh, ooh, ooh-wee, baby)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love

Must be love (Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...yeah)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love
Must be love (Ooh...ooh...)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love

Must be love (Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love
Must be love (Must be, must be)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love

Must be love (Got me upside down)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love (Got me goin' in and out)
Must be love (Talking about love)
It must be love (Hey, I'm talkin' ‘bout love), talkin' ‘bout love

Must be love (Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love (Yeah)




Must be love (Woo...ooh...ooh...)
It must be love, talkin' ‘bout love (I'm talking ‘bout love)
