It's Only Love
The Stowaways Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get high when I see you go by, (my oh my)
When you sigh my inside just flies, (butterflies).
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you.

It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do.
It's only love and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.

Is it right that you and I should fight, (every night)
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright, (very bright)
Haven't I the right to make it up girl.

It's only love and that is all,
Why should I feel the way I do.
It's only love and that is all,
But it's so hard loving you.




Yes it's so hard loving you.
Loving you.
