Tamia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love has not been
That great of a friend to me, lately.
Over and over, again and again
Love has proved that she is tired of me, my enemy.

Repeating thoughts
Of the pain that its caused.
And the tears that I've cried is probably why...

Love and I are breaking up tonight.
Love will go its way then I'm sure to find my...
Love, goodbye, but can you leave a trail behind
Because I know myself and I will change my mind
And want to love again

I really wish we were made to be
Happy with our love in our life.
To know that I have total control
Over being happy, happy

But reality is...
I cannot live without love
But I will try tonight

Ohhh, love and I are breaking up tonight.
Love will go its way and I'm sure to find my...
Love, goodbye, but can you leave a trail behind
Because I know myself and I will change my mind
And want to love again

Ohhh, love and I are breaking, we're breaking up.

Love and I are breaking up tonight.
Love will go its way and I'm sure to find my...
Love, goodbye, but can you leave a trail behind




Because I know I'll change my mind
And want to love again

With every passing moment
Thoughts of you run through my head
Every time that I'm near you
I realize that you're heaven sent, baby
I think you're truly something special
Just what my dreams are really made of
Let's stay together you and me boy
There's no one like you around, oh, baby
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
It could be the way that you hold me
It could be the things that you say (that you say)
Oh, I'm not too sure what it is boy
But I know I like feeling this way, hey, ooh
I think you're truly something special (truly something special)
Just what my dreams are really made of
Let's stay together you and me boy
There's no one like you around, oh, baby
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
Oh, I really like what you've done to me
Oh, I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
I really like
What I feel when I'm with you
You're a dream come true
Don't you ever leave my side
'Cause it feels so right
Oh, I really like what you've done to me
Oh, I can't really explain it, I'm so into you, baby
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
Oh, I really like what you've done to me
Oh, I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
I really like what you've done to me
I can't really explain it, I'm so into you
I'm so into you
I'm so into you
Oh, I'm so into you
