I Feel Love
Sapphire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna hurt you baby
But I don't wanna hold you tonight
Use it in our journey on
Had to think we lost our good times
Oh you got the worst of me
But I've been running through your mind
Should you, swoon
Don't you want it all
Or nothing
Just tell me romance ain't just dancing
Part time lover, hit the bed
We're laying there

I can, I can feel you, ooh
We don't gotta be perfect, ooh
We'll keep kicking to hold it, ooh
So, I can now I feel you, ooh

Keep me in a little while
Just to see the new type of life
Honey you've done lost your kindness
Right to leave yourself just lying there
Oh, you got the worst of me
But I've been running through your mind
Should you, swoon

Don't you want it all
Or nothing
Just tell me romance ain't just dancing
Part time lover, hit the bed
We're laying there
Holding on to things that don't last the night

I can, I can feel you, ooh
We don't gotta be perfect, ooh
We'll keep kicking to hold it, ooh
So, I can now I feel you, ooh

I can, I can feel you, ooh (We gon' kick it together)
We don't gotta be perfect, ooh (No matter the weather, yes, we will)




We'll keep kicking to hold it, ooh (We gon' kick it together)
So, I can now I feel you, ooh (Been loving forever, ever)

Overall Meaning

In Sapphire's song "I Feel Love", she starts by saying that she does not want to hurt her partner, but she also does not want to hold them tonight. It seems that the relationship has hit a rough patch or is ending, and Sapphire is trying to explain how she feels without causing any harm. She acknowledges that they have had good times together, but it now seems that those times are lost. Although her partner has got the worst of her, she feels that she has been running through their mind. In the chorus, she asks whether her partner wants everything or nothing, and reminds them that romance is not just about dancing. They may be part-time lovers, but as they lay in bed, she hopes that they can hold on to what they have for a little while longer.


The second verse of the song starts with Sapphire asking her partner to keep holding onto their relationship to see the new type of life that they could have. It seems that her partner has lost their kindness and is just lying there, leaving Sapphire feeling hurt. Again, she acknowledges that her partner has the worst of her, but she is still on their mind. In the second chorus, Sapphire repeats that they don't have to be perfect, but they will keep kicking to hold onto what they have. She wants to feel her partner's love and be with them forever.
