In Love
The Dolls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

New York city, and I'm out with the boys,
On forty second street makin' some noise
Another weekend and my baby's away
Temptations drivin' me insane
Ain't makin' no promises I can't keep
I've got a lady back home
And she's waitin' there for me
I'm in love, still in love

Oh-oh-oh
I'm in love, still in love
Oh-oh-oh
Ain't makin' claims about being a saint
Human nature just tells me I ain't
The thought of you'll make a blind man see
Hey little girl, look what you're doin' to me
Doin' to me
Ain't makin' no promises I can't keep
'cause I've got a lady back home
And she's waiting there for me
I'm in love, still in love
Oh-oh-oh
I'm in love, still in love
Oh-oh-oh
In love, still in love
Oh-oh-oh
Ain't makin' no promises I can't keep
I've got a lady back home
Waitin' there for me, Ah
I'm in love, still in love
Oh-oh-oh

I'm in love, still in love
Oh-oh-oh
