  • It must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love
    Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love

    Well I wait in every day, just in case
    You decide to call
    And I can hardly wait
    'Cause I never thought time could pass so slowly

    It must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love
    Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love

    Happiness is something I never thought I'd feel again,
    But now I know, oh
    It's you that I've been looking for
    And day by day more and more
    Well, I know what you think, you've heard it before
    Don't tell me I know
    But this feeling inside my heart
    You know I'm never letting go
    'Cause I think that

    It must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love
    Oh this must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love

    Words can only say so much
    It's hard to express, oh
    The things you do to me
    You're everything I could've ever dreamed you'd be and

    This must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love, oh
    This must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love

    This must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love, oh
    This must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love, oh

    This must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love, oh
    This must be love, I'm feeling
    This must be love Writer/s: Phil Collins

  • Michael from Bismarck IllinoisThis song is one of so many favorites of mine out of all the stuff that Phil did rather it'd be solo, with Genesis, Brand X, or even with another band that he used to be a part of which was called Flaming Youth. Another reason why & what I love about this song also is how well it was arranged & how melodic it especially with how alfonso Johnson's bass compliments this song. I do play guitar, piano, & also bass guitar as a hobby & this is one of the songs that I have learned to play by ear. The song itself is in the musical key/sound of D minor (Dm) just in case if anybody wanted to know.
  • Mitchell from Liverpool, UkThis song was written about Phil Collins' second wife Jill Tavelman, who he had just met at the time of making the album.
