[Intro]
Love, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
Love, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Verse 1]
The night I laid my eyes on you
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time, oh, my love, where you been?
[Chorus]
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
[Post-Chorus]
Love, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
Love, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love
[Verse 2]
I'm mesmerized in every way (Every way)
You keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
I'm always melting in your heat
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh, I glide as I'm flying through heaven
[Chorus]
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
[Bridge]
Since we connect behind closed doors
Spark this fire even more
No telling where we will be next
Surrender to your rapture arrest
Lay your head, let the slumber flow
Can't resist, that's why words were wrote
[Chorus]
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so (Yeah)
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
[Outro]
Mi amore, don't you know?

In 2012, Nadia Ali discussed the continued success of “Rapture” over the years since it’s original release in 2001 and it’s re-release in 2010:
It’s kind of crazy how long it’s had a life. You know, it’s kind of one of those things that people just really don’t want to let go of and people keep rem...
Originally the producer of this song resisted the idea of recording a dance song because he was European and was over the dance scene of the 90’s 🙃 But as club kid myself, I pleaded to just let me write something quick to see if something good would come out of it. Initially I didn’t even have full...
