Jungle Love Lyrics
I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
But lately you live in the jungle
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So I thought I would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
You treat me like I was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So I thought I would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

I'm surprised that this song doesn't have any comments... it's one of my favorites by Steve Miller Band. Really good upbeat song.
what a grest song first off & second off....this song is just about the lust and love that the guy in the song has fallen for
I luv this song, it's about how you're in love with someone so wild/and/or different from you, you love them so much but you're afraid that you could lose that person, you're hoping that you won't. so this love is a "jungle love" driving you mad, making you crazy.
It's about a guy who falls in love a girl. They date and start having sex! Not only one of Steve Miller's greatest songs, but also one of the greatest songs of all time!
agreed
this is the theme song to everybody loves raymond.
this song in not about a guy falling in love with a black girl. i think it is about a guy lusting over a girl he met who had no interest in him, or was already in a relationship. "I met you on somebody's island I brought you a crate of papaya They waited all night by your door You probably wouldn't remember I probably couldn't forget" the island being another guy etc, etc
I love it
Not to be confused with Jungle Love by the Time, that actually has a similiar meaning to the one ugadawgs121 said about.
This song doesn't have any comments b/c people are probably afraid to "offened" by saying that it is about a guy in love with with an Island blackgirl (Jamaican, West Indies, etc.) Interracial love does exist...lol
