This Can't Be Love
Sonny Stitt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love

I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat

This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love
Because I feel so well

I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
This can't be love
Because I feel so well

No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs
This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells

My head is not in the skies
My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love
Because I feel so well




I love to look in your eyes
I love to look in your eyes
