Re: River of You (Country Lyric)

[thedaffodils]

Hi! The quoted is the lyric of American country song--River of You. Could someone please help me out from the questions as below? Thanks in advance!


Q1: One sweet look and then you=?

Q2: Pull me under with the touch that's like no other =?
under with the touch=?

Q3: Like I got nothing to lose than you=?

I told myself I'd stay away
I got no business around here today
You're so not good for me
And everybody knows
The way you break my heart again and again
But before I know
I'm too close
One sweet look and then you

Pull me under with the touch that's like no other I'm
Drifting, drowning
There's nothing I can do but fall into the river of you
When I thought I saw love's reflection
Just to feel your cold rejection
Every tear adds to the water
That I keep swimming in
Even I know, I'm a fool, a reckless fool for you
Cause I keep coming around here
Like I got nothing to lose than you

Pull me under with the touch that's like no other I'm
Drifting, drowning
There's nothing I can do but fall into the river of you

When you pull me under with the touch that's like no other I'm
Drifting, drowning
There's nothing I can do but fall into the river of you
Pull me under with the touch that's like no other I'm
Drifting, drowning
There's nothing I can do but fall into the river of you

Yeah I fall into the river of you

Then you pull me under
Fall into the river of you
Pull me under...

Hi Anglika,

Thank you very much for your help. Can I rephrase the sentence as below?

Just a sweet look of yours that pull me down to the river of love as if nobody did that.

I am not sure about "with the touch that'ls like no other"

Just one single look from you is so sweet that it pulls me into the river of love with its [the look's] touch that is like no other touch.

A touch that is like no other - it is unique, there is no other touch that feels like it.

Thank you for your answer and correction. I see.

Have a good day!
