Sweet Emotion
The Kooks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's the woman that's on your mind
She's a woman who takes her time
She's the woman that's on your mind
She's a woman who takes her time

Yes, I feel sweet emotion
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near
I said I feel sweet emotion
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near

So sweet

I said I feel sweet emotion
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near
And I feel like your creation
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near

'Cause she's the woman that's on my mind
She's the woman who takes my time
She's the woman that's on my mind
She's the woman that's on my mind

I said I feel sweet emotion
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near
And I feel sweet sensation
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near,

And I feel vibrations
What are your expectations?
Baby, I don't have no fear

(Sweet emotions)
'Cause she's the woman that's on my mind (I feel sweet emotion)
She's a woman who takes my time (I feel sweet emotion)
She's the woman that's on my mind (I feel sweet emotion)
She's the woman that's on my mind, yes, she is (I feel sweet emotion)

Yes, I feel sweet emotion
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near
And I feel sweet sensation
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near

I said I feel sweet emotion
Every time you're near me
Every time you are near
Excuse me if I seem audacious
But you're just so flirtatious
I just need you here





She's the woman that's on my mind
