Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sure, so sure
Feel it, move it, feel it, move back
Need you so much, yeah, yeah
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found
Sitting here runnin' to my lover (lover)
Last time we met, I wasn't to sure (not so sure)
When she reads this I'm hoping she'll call (call me baby)
I need more much, more than before
I need positive reactions, whenever I'm down
'Cause I'm sure, so sure
It's heaven knocking on my door
Sure, so sure, so baby come on inside
Need you so much, more and more each time we touch
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found
It's not a game, so don't play hard to get
Tired of running after you
There's no connections holding us down (down)
Isn't it a shame (shame), that it never happened (isn't it a shame), oh yeah
Though still here we are the second time round
It's gonna be social, compatible, sexual, irresistible
It's gotta be right for life
Now I'm sure, so sure
It's heaven knocking at my door
Sure, so sure, so baby come on inside, yeah
Need you so much, more and more each time we touch
Sure, so sure, so sure, that it's sweet love I found, yeah, yeah

"I'm home!"
"I'm ho-o-ome!"
"I said 'I'm home!' I've been to the supermarket They've been pushing me, shoving me all over the place!"
Why do I find this funny?
Also, I think it's cute how Robbie calls Mark 'Markie'
@superbatfirenze

My new favorite boyband! Glad I come across their music videos.
@lauczi
That is really the whole-life picture of Gary: sitting by the piano. (That is his true passion). And of Robbie: making himself in the centre of world's attention. And Howard: creating music somewhere out of the centre. And Jason: doing many different things and being happy. :) They are all amazing men.
@chowchow0726
Great soul/funk number! I know it's written by Gary Barlow, but it also sounds like something that Nile Rodgers might have penned for Diana Ross during her Diva prime in the 70s.
