Are You In Love?

by Christophe Palmer

 

Are You In Love

You've gotta strange feeling but you're not for sure

You like her but inside do you feel something more?

How do you know?
Well, when you start listenin' to soft music on the radio
And it's like every love song seems to be about you
Then can it be true?
That you are in love, in love
When all that you're thinkin' of (is her)
Is how you're never gonna leave her
and how you're gonna please her

Some things to help you figure out this
are when you think of your first kiss
When both the best and the worst things on your mind
are thoughts of her all the time

When you think of her when you're doing something else
When you think of her when you're by yourself
When freaky thoughts of you and her bounce around in your head
When amazingly "I love you" is what she said
When you talk about her with your boys when she's gone
When your favorite joint is yours and hers
song

You start thinkin' of three words called "I love you"
Then can it be true?
That you are in love, in love
When all that you're thinkin' of (is her) Is
how you're never gonna leave her
and how you're gonna please her

Cause she's what you can't do without
Then are you in love
if all you can think about is when you are kissin' around,
Foolin' around, screwin' around or being on the phone
just to hear the sweet sound of her voice
Then do you have no other choice
Then to have to believe In something
you have to be in a fairy tale to achieve
But you're pretty sure that it's real
That you're living in reality
Because you've felt heartache before
So you don't have immortality

You start thinkin' of three words called "I love you"
Then can it be true?
That you are in love, in love
When all that you're thinkin' of (is her)
Is how you're never gonna leave her
and how you're gonna please her

But it's not that simple
It's more than physical
You've got that connection where
You know what she's gonna wear
You've got that connection when
She knows what's really happenin'
She's got that connection to know
What you were thinkin' a minute ago
You seem like perfect matches for each others souls

Cause all you need is each other to keep it under control
No need for movies, she'd rather listen to your jokes
Or sit in the park and split some cokes
No need for the night sky when in her eyes you see stars
No need to impress her 'cause she loves you for who you are
You start thinkin' of three words called "I love you"
Then can it be true?
That you are in love, in love
When all that you're thinkin' of (is her) Is
how you're never gonna leave her
and how you're gonna please her

When you hold her hand it's like the moon meeting
the night It's like the sun giving light it just feels right
When she returns after the rain
you know her kiss is like your rainbow
When your skin rubs hers it's like electricity
slow down before you hit high velocity
When each new experience is hers too
or like the romantic special things you do
or how she turns your emotions to mellow yellow from blue

Cause she's your fantasy and you're her dream come true
To have fun she's on top of you're necessities
As long as she's there you need no other luxuries
When you have no sweets she's your candy obsession
When you can careless for material possessions
When you'd sacrifice maybe even wealth
Then it's time to ask yourself
About those three words called "I love you"
So Then can it be true?
That you are in love, in love

When all that you're thinkin' of (is her)
Is how you're never gonna leave her
and how you're gonna please her|
If these are the kind of thoughts you think of
Then it's time to ask yourself "Are You In Love?!"

Dedicated to Tirza
