Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
There's a place burning in the heart of me
There's a pain buried deep inside of me
And I know what makes it so
Cause I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love

There's a fire started up inside of me
There's a change it's coming over all of me
And I know what makes it so
Cause I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
But does she love me or does she not
Does she want me yeah or does she not
I don't know, I don't know
And I know what makes it so
Cause I'm in love

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
