Love Won't Let Me
Wanessa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I should do
Is play it cool
In front of you and just might fool you
For a minute or two

But what I can't hide
Is everything I feel inside
Cause the truth is, baby

My heart starts racin
When I'm next to you

And love won't let me...

Not go crazy when you come around
Go insane when we get a little closer now
And I'd inclined to chicken out
But love won't let me (oh)

Love has a funny way of getting you in
To something that scares you
But you can't resist
Let you leave without they kiss
But love won't let me

So we took that step
And now I'm over my head
I'm circling earth and I'm pretty sure
I won't be coming down for a little while
But the trouble is, ever since that little kiss
I don't care how late it gets
Don't wanna let you out of these arms of mine

Cause love won't let me...

Not go crazy when you come around
Go insane when we get a little closer now
And I'd inclined to chicken out
But love won't let me (oh)

Love has a funny way of getting you in
To something that scares you
But you can't resist
Let you leave without they kiss
But love won't let me

And now... I only wanna spend my time
Holding you tight every night
Baby everytime I think about it, oh
I've loved you from the day we met
The way you get me
I'm so glad that love won't let me

Not go crazy when you come around
Go insane when we get a little closer now
And I'd inclined to chicken out
But love won't let me (oh)

Love has a funny way of getting you in
To something that scares you
But you can't resist
Let you leave without they kiss
But love won't let me

Not go crazy when you come around
Go insane when we get a little closer now
And I'd inclined to chicken out
But love won't let me (oh)

Love has a funny way of getting you in
To something that scares you
But you can't resist
Let you leave without they kiss
But love won't let me

Not go crazy when you come around
Go insane when we get a little closer now
And I'd inclined to chicken out
But love won't let me (oh)

Love has a funny way of getting you in
To something that scares you
But you can't resist

Let you leave without they kiss
But love won't let me

Line by Line Meaning

What I should do
I know what the sensible thing to do would be

Is play it cool
To act calm and collected

In front of you and just might fool you
To deceive you with my facade of composure

For a minute or two
But only for a brief period

But what I can't hide
However, I cannot conceal

Is everything I feel inside
The strong emotions I am experiencing

Cause the truth is, baby
Because the reality is

My heart starts racin
My heart beats rapidly

When I'm next to you
Whenever I am in your presence

And love won't let me...
And my unconditional love prevents me from...

Not go crazy when you come around
Keeping my sanity when you are close

Go insane when we get a little closer now
To not lose my mind when we are in close proximity

And I'd inclined to chicken out
I may be tempted to give up and run away

Love has a funny way of getting you in
Love has a unique method of drawing you in

To something that scares you
To something that frightens you

But you can't resist
However, you cannot refuse

Let you leave without they kiss
You cannot leave without sharing a kiss

So we took that step
So we decided to take a risk

And now I'm over my head
And now I am fully committed

I'm circling earth and I'm pretty sure
I am ecstatic and confident

I won't be coming down for a little while
That I will remain high on emotion for some time

But the trouble is, ever since that little kiss
However, the problem is that after that small gesture of love

I don't care how late it gets
I am not concerned about the time that passes

Don't wanna let you out of these arms of mine
I never want to release my hold on you

And now... I only wanna spend my time
Now, all I wish to do is devote my time

Holding you tight every night
To hold you in a tight embrace every evening

Baby everytime I think about it, oh
Whenever I ponder on it, oh

I've loved you from the day we met
I have loved you since the day we first encountered each other

The way you get me
The manner in which you affect me emotionally

I'm so glad that love won't let me
I am grateful that love prevents me from

Not go crazy when you come around
Keeping my sanity when you are close

Love has a funny way of getting you in
Love has a unique method of drawing you in

To something that scares you
To something that frightens you

But you can't resist
However, you cannot refuse

Let you leave without they kiss
You cannot leave without sharing a kiss
