Young Love
adekunle gold Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One time for the one time
Fire girl with the slow whine
I, I don't need a guideline, to handle that your waistline
Let's take a trip to cloud nine
Make a stop at mile high
This girl, girl
I'm drunk on your moonshine
Star signs oh baby, you are mine

I'm feeling something, something, is love in the air?
Girl, I'm loving, loving, loving, loving your way ah
You're teasing me now, I'm wanting more
I think I'm drunk, I'm drunk in love
If I pass out, will you wake me with more love?

I know this is young love, feel like a lifetime
Although this is young love, don't ever leave my side
I know this is young love, feel like a lifetime
Although this is young love, don't ever leave my side

Side, side
Side, side, side, side
My, my
Side, side, side, side

Hold on, did I ever mention
I, I don't want no option
Give me all or nothing
I no be your side thing
Hey you, girl I wanna know
Wanna know how you roll
Say ooh, fine like Monroe
I'm losing my control

I'm feeling something, something, is love in the air?
Girl, I'm loving, loving, loving, loving your way oh
You're teasing me now, I'm wanting more
I think I'm drunk, I'm drunk in love
If I pass out, will you wake me with more love?

I know this is young love, feel like a lifetime
Although this is young love, don't ever leave my side
I know this is young love, feel like a lifetime
Although this is young love, don't ever leave my side

Side, side
Side, side, side, side
My, my
Side, side, side, side





Side, side, side
My side, side, side, side

This guy is so real....nothing fake about him. Him and Simi are made for one another. What a great work of God! His music is on a different leve... so real, so natural and so refreshing. I'm a huge fan.

Adekunle Gold keeps getting better by the day..kudos to his versatility in music. I can't go a day without playing his songs which usually keep my mode right. God bless him.

Adekunle has definitely upgraded and switched his musical brand gradually over the year's. This is certainly a hit

I have been jamming this song continuously. I'm addicted to it. It's always playing in my head. I came here to ask for a therapist. I can't get this song off my brain. I need help, It's serious.

Ndoh ndoh

I never knew adekule gold is the one that sang this beautiful song. I was thinking it was a Caribbean song never it was a Nigerian. That's dope vibe with good source
