The song expresses inevitable, irresistible love — a deep feeling that pulls someone into a relationship, even if logic or caution advises against it. The lyrics speak of surrendering to love because it feels destined, using metaphors like:
"Like a river flows surely to the sea / Darling so it goes / Some things are meant to be."
UB40's version, with its smooth reggae rhythm and relaxed vibe, adds a warm, joyful feeling to the song, emphasizing romantic devotion and tenderness in a chill, soulful way.
