Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴Oh-ooh
Mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm, yeah, yeah
Oh-ooh
Somethin' 'bout your hands on my body
Feels better than any man I ever had
Somethin' 'bout the way you just get me
You've got a feeling
A soul, that I need in my life (yeah, yeah)
Oh, woah
And though we may grow
I don't know why we don't grow apart
Maybe I-I-I-I-I, I need you
I breathe you, turnin' my heart blue
Maybe I-I-I-I-I, I need you
When I leave you, I see you
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Wait, hold up
Since you been gone everything been a mess
You got a hold on this thing in my chest, babe
But I won't settle for anything less, but you
Know that our chemistry make up the set
So let's make up, put it to bed
In the morning we wake up and do it again
And again, and again because
You've got a feeling
A soul, that I need in my life (yeah, yeah)
Oh, woah
And though we both grow
There's no way that we could grow apart, babe
And maybe, just maybe
Maybe I-I-I-I-I, I need you
You know I breathe you, turnin' my heart blue
Maybe I-I-I-I-I, I need you
When I leave you, I see you
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh (ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Maybe I just feel lost without you
And maybe I'm just pissed off without you
Baby, my life's just off without you
Maybe you're worth it all to me, baby
Maybe, maybe, just maybe (maybe)

Feels better than any man I ever had
The feeling I get from your touch surpasses any previous intimate encounters I've had
Somethin' 'bout the way you just get me
There is an indescribable understanding and connection between us
I try and I, don't 'cause I, can't forget
Despite my efforts, I cannot forget about you
You've got a feeling
There is a unique emotion or presence you possess
A soul, that I need in my life (yeah, yeah)
Your soul is something essential that I require in my life
And though we may grow
Even as we individually mature and change
I don't know why we don't grow apart
I'm uncertain about why we manage to stay connected despite our personal growth
Wait, hold up
Pause for a moment, let's have a brief pause in the conversation
Since you been gone everything been a mess
Since you've been absent, everything has been chaotic and disorganized
You got a hold on this thing in my chest, babe
You have a strong emotional grip on my heart, my dear
But I won't settle for anything less, but you
However, I refuse to accept anything other than you
Know that our chemistry make up the set
Understand that our dynamic and connection form the foundation
So let's make up, put it to bed
Therefore, let's reconcile and resolve any issues
In the morning we wake up and do it again
Each morning, we wake up and repeat the process
And again, and again because
And repeatedly, because
Maybe I just feel lost without you
Perhaps I simply feel directionless in your absence
And maybe I'm just pissed off without you
And maybe I'm just angry and frustrated when you're not around
Baby, my life's just off without you
Darling, my life feels incomplete without you
Maybe you're worth it all to me, baby
Maybe you are incredibly valuable to me, my love
Maybe, maybe, just maybe (maybe)
Perhaps, possibly, just perhaps
