Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

But when he loves me, I feel like I′m floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when he loves me, I feel like I'm floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody

Even when he loves me, I feel like I′m floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when we fade eventually to nothing

You will always fade eventually to nothing

Ooh, he loves me, I feel like I'm floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody
Even when he loves me, I feel like I'm floating
When he calls me pretty, I feel like somebody

Even when we fade eventually to nothing
You will always fade eventually to nothing
You will always fade eventually to nothing

You will always fade eventually to nothing
You will always be my favorite form of loving
