Just Like That Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh baby
If I could explain the joy I feel

[Verse 1]
Ooh, if I could explain the joy I feel, and a
Ooh, this love making, baby, it's so real, and a
Ooh, like winter time by the fireplace, and a
Ooh, like trapped in walls and there's no escape, and a
Ooh, like a precious jewel with no price tag, and a
Ooh, like waterfalls coming down on me, and a
Ooh, like a tidal wave coming from the sea, and a
Ooh, like a favorite scene in a big movie

[Chorus]
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that, baby (ooh)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that, baby
(If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that, baby
(Ooh, just like)
You wanna know how I feel just like that, just like that

[Verse 2]
Ooh, like you and me making history, baby
Ooh, like a 99th anniversary, and a
Ooh, like a baby when it speaks its first words, and a
Ooh, like an uplifting song the first time heard, and a
Ooh, like a shelter when the storm gets rough, and a
Ooh, like a mountaintop from the bottom up, and a
Ooh, like an expensive suite at the best hotel, and a
Ooh, like a work of art when its unveiled
[Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Like that)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Oh oh oh oh oh, if you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Just like that, yeah)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that (ooooh)

[Verse 3]
Ooh, like a great blue skies on a summer day, and a
Ooh, like sitting close in a small cafe, and a
Ooh, like making love to someone you love, and a
Ooh, like breaking up then making up, and a
Ooh, like a warm embrace when you come around, and a
Ooh, like the sweetest words when you're feeling down, and a
Ooh, like lost inside of a masquerade, and a
Ooh, like a celebration in a big parade, and a
Ooh, like a secret told to the one you trust, and a
Ooh, like kissing you in an all white tux

[Chorus]
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(If you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Just like that, if you wanna, wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Just like that)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that
(Like the moon, yeah when it glows at night)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(And like the sun, oh yeah, when it shines real bright)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(And just like the ocean when the whale jumps high, so high)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby
(Like the eagle when it soars the sky, you wanna know)
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that
You wanna know how I feel, just like that, just like that, baby

Genius Annotation

The song “Just Like That” by R. Kelly expresses the singer’s inability to fully describe the joy he feels while making love with his significant other. The lyrics are a series of comparisons that attempt to capture the intensity and depth of his emotions. He compares the pleasure he experiences to various scenarios such as a winter night by the fireplace, being trapped in walls, or standing under a waterfall. He also compares his love to events like a baby speaking its first words, a shelter during the storm, or an expensive hotel suite.

The chorus of the song emphasizes that he cannot fully express his feelings but that his partner can experience it just like that, in the moment. He ends the song with various other comparisons, such as the moon glowing at night, the sun shining, and an eagle soaring in the sky, as if to convey that his joy is limitless and impossible to fully define through words.

Overall, the song depicts a passionate and intense love that cannot be fully articulated but is nonetheless deeply felt.
