lyrics

This ain't no ordinary feeling
It's an extraordinary feeling
Every time I'm around you I feel my heart jump through the ceiling
When you smile I'm grounded
Completely floored, astounded
You got my love surrounded
Thats what I've been trying to tell you

You keep the I inspired (that's what I've been trying to tell you)
I wanna stand in love I-nited (that's what I've been trying to tell you)
This time around its different (...trying to tell you)
With you it's pure upliftment

With you it's pure upliftment, a kiss an
We're both set adrift on a swift wind of bliss an
Whenever you're near me there's a shift in
Energy, darling just your presence is a gift an
Synergy, sending me harmony over this end
Ben acqui, sugar you're my high don't let my spliff end
Mi sistren, soul rebel, black power fist an lion paw
Live your life according to a higher law
My fire log set ablaze simply by our dialogue
That's what I've been trying to tell you

You keep the I inspired (...trying to tell you)
I wanna stand in love I-nited (...trying to tell you)
This time around is different (...trying to tell you)
With you it's pure upliftment

With you it's pure upliftment, a different
Feeling I'm free falling off a cliff an
No ifs, ands, buts or maybes you're the one I'm with an
I know the 4 elements, you gotta be the 5th an
For instance, our chemistry even far inna distance
Your every move's a ministry, move me with no resistance
Empress your essence fill up the room like incense
You're royalty, even if you're just boiling tea
The loyalty and love for your king indeed is spoiling me
That's what I've been trying to tell you

You keep the I inspired (...trying to tell you)
I wanna stand in love I-nited (...trying to tell you)
This time around is different (...trying to tell you)
With you it's pure upliftment, hey

This ain't no ordinary feeling
It's an extraordinary feeling
Every time I'm around you I feel my heart jump through the ceiling
When you smile I'm grounded
Completely floored, astounded
Girl you got my love surrounded
That's what I've been trying to tell you
