When Love Takes Over (Original Extended Edit) Lyrics
David Guetta
Lyrics
It's complicated
It always is
That’s just the way it goes
Feels like I've waited so long for this
I wonder if it shows
Head underwater
Now I can't breathe
It never felt so good
'Cause I can feel it coming over me
I wouldn’t stop it if I could
When love takes over, yeah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something’s here tonight
Give me a reason
I gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Can't you see me here on overload
And this time I blame you
Looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right like I know you can
We could lose it all
When love takes over, yeah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something’s here tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
And I'll be loving you all the time, it's true
'Cause I wanna make it right with you
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over
Over, over, over, over, over
Over, over, over, over, over
When love takes over, yeah
You know you can’t deny
When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something’s here tonight
