Just Like That

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby , If I could Explain the joy I feel

Oh If I could explain the joy I feel
All this love making is oh so real
Oh like winter time by the fireplace
Oh like trapped in walls and its no escape
Oh like a precious jewel with no price tag
Oh like waterfalls comin' down on me
Oh like tidal wave comin' from the sea
Oh like a favorite scene in a big movie

You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby (Oh)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby (If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby (Oh just like)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that baby

Oh like you and me makin' history baby
Oh like a 99th anniversary
Oh like a baby when it speaks its first words
Oh like an uplifting song the first time heard
Oh like a shelter when the storm gets ruff
Oh like a mountain top from the bottom up
Oh like an expensive suite at the best hotel
Oh like a work of art when its unveiled

You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (like that )
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (oh oh oh oh oh, If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (just like that yeah)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that (Oh)

Oh like a great blue sky's on a summer day
Oh like sitting close in a small cafe
Oh like making love to someone you love
Oh like breaking up then making up
Oh like a warm embrace when you come around
Oh like the sweetest words when your feeling down
Oh like lost inside of a mascaraed
Oh like a celebration in a big parade
Oh like a secret told to the one you trust
Oh like kissing you in a all white tux

You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (Just like that, if you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that baby (Just like that)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that

Like the moon, yeah when it glows at night,
And like the sun oh yeah when it shines real bright,




And just like the ocean when the well comes high,
Like an eagle when it soars in the sky
