The Hearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahh, ahh, I, I, I love you
I, I, I, I, I, I need you

Your love is, oh, so Heavenly
My darling, can't you see
My heart ski-skips a crazy beat
When you're with me, such warmth
When your lips are touching mine
They're sweeter, much sweeter than wine

I, I, I, I, I, I, I love you
I really do

Your love means, oh, so much to me
My darling, can't you see
My heart sounds just for you, my dear
Whenever, whenever you're near
Sweet lover, oh, always will be mine
Forever, all the time

Ooh, doo doo, I, I, I love you




I, I, I, I, I, I need you
Doo, doo

Finally found this after years and years of wondering. "Raging Bull" is my ultimate film of all time.

@Lisbeth22250

It's my favorite film too.

The Hearts, (originally called the Jaynets), one of the first rock ‘n’ roll female groups, stormed the R&B charts with their scintillating, powerhouse performance of “Lonely Nights,” reaching #8. The record was also one of the first to have a talking bridge, and anyone who’s heard that smokin’ line “You great big lump o’ sugar” will never forget the first in-your-face- attitude hit. The group included Zell Sanders, Jeanette “Baby” Washington, Hazel Crutchfield, Forestine Barnes, Joyce West, and later Louise Harris.

I was eleven years old when this song hit the R&B airways. As most songs then, it was all about love. I teach middle school using R&B and Blue Eyed soul. The kids love it and they turn to their grandparents for more of AMERICAs music genius! 😊
