This Time I Know It's For Real
Young Divas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I... I want you to know
I... I love you so
I... I won't let go
This time, this time
I... I want you to know
I... I love you so
I... I won't let go
This time I know it's for real

What would I have to do
To get you to notice me too?
Do I stand in line?
One of a million admiring eyes
Walking tide from way up high
Write you name across the sky

I'm going crazy just to let you know
You''d be amazed how much I love you so
Oh baby
When I get my hands on you I won't let go
This time I know it's for real

Should I write or call your home
Shout it out with a megaphone
Radio, TV news
Gotta find a way to get the message to you
Say I love you with a neon sign
Anything to make you mine

I'm going crazy just to let you know
You''d be amazed how much I love you so
Oh baby
When I get my hands on you I won't let go
This time I know it's for real

Ooh baby, this time, this time...
Ooh baby, this time, this time...
Ooh yeah my baby
Walking tide from way up high
Write your name across the sky

I'm going crazy just to let you know
You'd be amazed how much I love you so
Oh baby
When I get my hands on you I won't let go
This time, this time (It's for real)
I'm going crazy just to let you know
You'd be amazed how much I love you so
Oh baby
When I get my hands on you I won't let go
This time I know it's for real

I'm going crazy (oh yea)
I'm going crazy (this time I know it's for real)
When I get my hands on you (this time I know it's for real)

I'm going crazy just to let you know
If I wait too long for you, I might explode
Oh baby
I've been around a long enough to know
This time I know it's for real

I want you to know
I love you so
I won't let go

Donna Summer left this world too early
The only consolation we have is that her soul has returned
the the place of origin - and is happy to be home

2023 and I still absolutely adore this group

@quantum_man

They Did Donna Justice. Brilliant Version!

@DLROWOLL3H

Managed properly, these girls could have gone a long way. Vocally they are awesome as a quartet.

@aivalistavro

I think they all wanted solo careers , but it didn't happen for them the way they probably wanted it to. Paulini has been in a few musicals , so fortunately she's had some work.

@Thediamondduck11

In fact this was supposed to be the only single with all four of them.

@1lmbernard

Love their covers!

@DavidHalChester

Totally agree!

@melaniehosny4811

All so brilliant singers and they sounded so beautiful together complimented eachother so well.

@bu11com

The head wiggling budget is on point in this video. They're like...stand still but giggle your head. It will be so natural and amazing.

@PurplePinkRed

It truly is! Sometimes simple is better!
