[English]

Lovin' you is spiritual

You lovin' me is a miracle

It's anything but typical

Especially for a guy like me

Naw, it ain't 'cause I'm livin' right

It ain't 'cause I got it all figured out

But I swear that I see the light

Every time you cut the lights out

It ain't hard to get to Heaven when you got an angel

Layin' in bed right by your side

When I got my fingers runnin' through your halo

Girl, I swear it kills me every time

When you kiss me how you kiss me

Touch me how you touch me

Love me how you love me to paradise

It ain't hard to get to Heaven (hard to get to Heaven)

It ain't hard to get to Heaven

Hell, I go there every night

(It ain't hard to get to Heaven)

I don't need a stairway

Just a little dance down the hallway

At the end of every day

Baby, it's as easy as that

It ain't hard to get to Heaven when you got an angel

Layin' in bed right by your side (bed right by your side)

When I got my fingers runnin' through your halo

Girl, I swear it kills me every time (it kills me every time)

When you kiss me how you kiss me

Touch me how you touch me

Love me how you love me to paradise

It ain't hard to get to Heaven (hard to get to Heaven)

It ain't hard to get to Heaven

Hell, I go there every night

Yeah, baby

(It ain't hard to get to Heaven)

Hell, I go there every night

(It ain't hard to get to Heaven)

Naw, it ain't 'cause I'm livin' right

It ain't 'cause I got it all figured out

But I swear that I see the light

Every time you cut the lights out

It ain't hard to get to Heaven when you got an angel

Layin' in bed right by your side (bed right by your side)

When I got my fingers runnin' through your halo

Girl, I swear it kills me every time (it kills me every time)

When you kiss me how you kiss me

Touch me how you touch me

Love me how you love me to paradise

It ain't hard to get to Heaven (hard to get to Heaven)

It ain't hard to get to Heaven

Hell, I go there every night

(Lovin' you is spiritual)

(It ain't hard to get to Heaven)

(You lovin' me is a miracle)

Girl, I go there every night

(It's anything but typical)

Yeah I go, yeah I go, yeah I go (It ain't hard to get to Heaven)

There every night (especially for a guy like me)

Key Grammar Structures

• Lovin' you is spiritual

  ➔ Gerund as Subject, Stative Verb

  ➔ The gerund "Lovin'" functions as the subject of the sentence. "Is" links it to the adjective "spiritual", describing the nature of loving you. The verb 'is' here describes a state, not an action.

• It ain't 'cause I'm livin' right

  ➔ Double Negative, Present Continuous (informal)

  ➔ The use of "ain't" and "not" creates a double negative, common in informal speech. "I'm livin'" is a contraction of "I am living", using the present continuous to describe a state or habit.

• When you kiss me how you kiss me

  ➔ Relative Clause, Comparative Adverb

  ➔ The phrase "how you kiss me" functions as a relative clause modifying "kiss". The repetition emphasizes the *manner* of the kiss. 'How' acts as a comparative adverb, highlighting the unique way the person kisses.

• Hell, I go there every night

  ➔ Interjection, Adverb of Frequency

  ➔ "Hell" is used as an interjection to express emphasis or surprise. "Every night" is an adverb of frequency indicating how often the speaker goes to "Heaven".

• Baby, it's as easy as that

  ➔ Simile, Adjective Clause

  ➔ The phrase "as easy as that" is a simile, comparing the ease of getting to Heaven to something simple and unspecified. It functions as an adjective clause modifying 'it'.
