After looking at the lyrics I believe Ms Dynamite is singing about lover/boyfriend referring to him as her 'king' and 'baby'. The song is saying that this guy is metaphorically making her 'high' referring to the envious, relaxed state possibly caused by taking drugs. Implying that the love of this man is like taking drugs, she is addicted and dependent on him. She says that she is so high and happy with this guy, that she doesn't want to come down, she doesn't want it to end.

She compares their relationship to a 'game' indicating fun, and both challenging and rewarding. She also has 'no doubts' about their relationship and 'after all this time' implying they have been together a long time and she is serious by saying 'I'm only yours', she is looking no where else, and is serious about him.

He makes her feeling like she's both 'flying and falling, crying and crawling', however she refers to their love as 'real', him making her feel a rollarcoaster of emotions with his 'sweetest touch', 'lips' and 'tone'.

Ms Dynamite refers to him as her 'everything' possibly linking with the dependence of drugs, and says is 'another thing to do', to make her wear his ring. Saying that the next step is engagement, marriage showing how serious she is about him wanting to spend her life with him. Also referring him as her 'king', she looks up to him, respects and thinks the world of him.

She is asking him to give her 'gravity', so commitment, linking with marriage, saying how he sets her 'soul on fire' and is 'making her higher'. She is very clearly head over heels with this man, ending the song with the line 'you got it, you got it, you got it', although we don't know what 'it' is, we can guess she is implying this guy is the full package and has everything she wants from a man as she is serious about marrying him.

The song is very positive, she talks a little bit about their highs and lows, but always linking the verses back to him making her 'high', referring to being on 'cloud 9' high in the sky. Cloud 9 is heaven, the utopia of pleasure, a state of being in love and also the feeling described whilst being under the influence of drugs.
