The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
I love you like a wildfire loves the wind.
From way down in my soul out to my skin.
You might say I feel it in my bones.
It brings me to my knees,
It lifts me up, makes me strong.
And I hold on.
To every touch every kiss,
And every moment just like this.
The way you dance,
The way you smile,
And wear your hair just a little wild.
The way you woo me like you do.
Girl, its no wonder I'm in love with you.
Love like this is sacred, ancient law.
You wonder where I stand,
I stand in awe.
And I see the other side of heaven's door.
And every time that we make love it shakes me to the core and I want more.
Of every touch,
Every kiss,
And every moment just like this.
To have the dance,
See you smile,
Let your hair hang loose and wild,
The way you do me like you do.
Girl, its no wonder I'm in love with you.
I love your face,
I love your lips,
I love the taste that lingers long after the kiss.
The way you do the things you do,
Oh, its no wonder I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you.
Oh girl, its no wonder I'm in love...with you.
From way down in my soul out to my skin.
You might say I feel it in my bones.
It brings me to my knees,
It lifts me up, makes me strong.
And I hold on.
To every touch every kiss,
And every moment just like this.
The way you dance,
The way you smile,
And wear your hair just a little wild.
The way you woo me like you do.
Girl, its no wonder I'm in love with you.
Love like this is sacred, ancient law.
You wonder where I stand,
I stand in awe.
And I see the other side of heaven's door.
And every time that we make love it shakes me to the core and I want more.
Of every touch,
Every kiss,
And every moment just like this.
To have the dance,
See you smile,
Let your hair hang loose and wild,
The way you do me like you do.
Girl, its no wonder I'm in love with you.
I love your face,
I love your lips,
I love the taste that lingers long after the kiss.
The way you do the things you do,
Oh, its no wonder I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you.
Oh girl, its no wonder I'm in love...with you.
