Can It Be Love? Lyrics

Samantha Mumba

Can it be love?
It could be just in my fantasy
It could be just in my mind
A funny feeling you were giving me
Whenever you are coming around
Seem to be floating on a cloud
Seem to be losing control
Can it be love that I feel in my heart?
Can it be love - have I fallen for you?
Can it be love?
Everlasting emotion?
cos when you look at me and smile I know...
Would never ever work like this
Would never ever happen so fast
Dont blame me cos I cant help myself
Cant seem to open my eyes - Im dreaming
Seem to be floating on a cloud
Seem to be losing control
Can it be love that I feel in my heart?
Can it be love - have I fallen for you?
Can it be love?
Everlasting emotion?
cos when you look at me and smile I know...
Ooooh I wanna know (know, know, know)
Can it be love?
Oooh I - oooh I wanna know
Yeah - can it be love?
Just give me a smile
And Ill keep holding on
Until you will rescue me
Just give me a sign
And I will know
That you can set me free...
Can it be love that I feel in my heart? (can it be love? )
Can it be love - have I fallen for you? (fallen for you)
Can it be love?
Everlasting emotion? (everlasting emotion)
cos when you look at me and smile I know...
Can it be love that I feel in my heart? (can it be love? )
Can it be love - have I fallen for you? (uhh uh)
Can it be love? (can it be? )
Everlasting emotion?
cos when you look at me and smile I know...
