Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's the way it was
Happened so naturally
I did not know it was love
The next thing I felt was you
Holding me close
What was I gonna do?
I let myself go
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night will last forever
I've been waitin' for you
It's been so long
I knew just what I would do
When I heard your song
Filled my heart with your bliss
Gave me freedom
You knew I could not resist
I needed someone
And now we're flyin' through the stars
I hope this night lasts forever
Oh oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better than you
I wait for night time to come
And bring you to me
Can't believe I'm the one
I was so lonely
I feel like no one could feel
I must be dreamin'
I want this dream to be real
I need this feelin'
I make my wish upon a star
And hope this night will last forever
Oh oh oh oh
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better than me)
Makes me happy (feel this way)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (than you)
At first you put your arms around me
Then you put your charms around me
I can't resist this sweet surrender
Oh my nights are warm and tender
We stare into each other's eyes
And what we see is no surprise
Got a feeling most with treasure
And a love so deep we cannot measure
Ain't nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (better me)
Can make me feel this way (makes me happy) (makes me feel) this way
Ain't nobody (ain't nobody)
Loves me better (nobody)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (ah make me feel)
Makes me happy (so much love)
Makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Makes me happy makes me feel this way
Ain't nobody (whoa!)
Loves me better (ain't nobody)
Ain't nobody (make me feel this way)
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (nobody babe)
Loves me better (nobody babe)
Makes me happy (nobody babe)
Makes me feel this way (ain't nobody no, no, nobody babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, yeah)
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody
Loves me better
Ain't nobody (say yeah, makes me feel, makes feel this way)
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way

Captured effortlessly
It all happened smoothly, without any effort
That's the way it was
It happened as it was meant to be
Happened so naturally
It was a natural occurrence
I did not know it was love
At first, I did not realize it was love
The next thing I felt was you
You were the next feeling I had
Holding me close
You held me tightly
What was I gonna do?
I did not know what to do in that situation
I let myself go
I allowed myself to just live in the moment
And now we're flyin' through the stars
We are experiencing joy and euphoria
I hope this night will last forever
I don't want this happiness to end
I've been waitin' for you
I have been anticipating the moment when we would be together
It's been so long
The wait has felt like an eternity
I knew just what I would do
I was prepared for the moment we met
When I heard your song
When I met you and heard your words, I knew you were the one
Filled my heart with your bliss
You brought happiness into my life
Gave me freedom

You knew I could not resist
You knew that I couldn't say no to being with you

And have you with me again
Can't believe I'm the one
I can't believe how lucky I am to be with you
I was so lonely
I have lived in loneliness for so long
I feel like no one could feel
I felt like no one else could understand my loneliness

I want this happiness to be a reality

And hope this night will last forever
And hope that our happiness never ends
At first you put your arms around me
At first, you hugged me
Then you put your charms around me
Then, your personality won me over
I can't resist this sweet surrender
I cannot resist being with you
Oh my nights are warm and tender
Being with you makes me feel loved and cherished

We gaze lovingly into each other's eyes
