love is in the air
Toya Delazy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daily hear them going around
Saying love is burnt down
Scattered ashes on the ground
If that’s true, love
I'm ashes too, love

Ashes rising up like dust
Hearts from the ground
Broken down, lost in lust
In search of true love
I'm looking for love

Alright
Listen here
I will hold you like a chop-stick
Save you from a moshpit
Fly us out and land it
Peanut butter, jam it
Get to understand it
Love is my language
Magic is my standard

Wear me like a bandage
Sing my song or talk it
Dance it in robotic
Play it like a chess piece
Pick me like a necklace
Download with no flash disk
Chuck Norris can't touch this
Top of my guest list
Fresher than a first kiss

Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
You lose out when
Your heart’s not there
My heart’s right there

(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)

Yeah
Revitalised love rising high
Like floating clouds in the sky
The flames alive, burn it bright
Now, that’s true love (True love)
Welcome to love
Okay

Yo
It's time
I'm about to go
Here's the life I wanna know
Turn up my mike
I got the flow
Bring the lights, I'll bring the show

Living high
Don't mind more dough
Give me love I'll give you more
These words just dribbling out my soul
But maybe you gon’ listen though

I'm not teasing, be my crumpet
My spirits high, you lift it
No need to feel abandoned
We can plan it
Your love can take me higher
Let's start a fire
Love is in the air and
My heart is right there

Love is in the air
Love is in the air (C'mon, c'mon)
Love is in the air
You lose out when
Your heart’s not there
My heart’s right there

(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)

When your heart has risen up like dust
Off the ground bound with love not lust
Insync with you, love
I found love

Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh

Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
You lose out when
Your heart’s not there
My heart’s right there

(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)
(Love is in the air)

Here it is
Can you feel it?




Come on
Yeah
