New Love
Lyldoll Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold on, so close
New love' baby
Hold on' so close
New love
Hold on' new love
So con- trollin'
Why can't you just find a new love?
Leave me behind to move on
Call up- all your- other- options-
I know that I'm not your true love
Leave me behind to go on
When I told you I was mad conflicted
You backed off, you act off
When we tried to kick it
Bad loss, a promise go off
You know back to business
S'all gone when I pop up in your rear view visions
You're gonna miss me
I don't know why you lied so much
You wanted everything besides my touch
Well I protected you when the cops showed up
At least I get to know that my karma's still good
When I realized that you were a mirage
Prayed to god the first time and
It opened up my eyes' now I got a good man
I just hope he likes the life
You left me in some good hands
You left me with some good, good
Hold on, so close
New love' baby
You've been tryin' to drive me crazy
Ha- ha- ha- my heart beats faster
He's the drug that I've been after
Hold on, so close
New love, baby
You've been tryin' to drive me crazy
My heart beats faster
He's the drug that I've been after
Hold on, new love
So con- trollin'
Why can't you just find a new love?
Leave me behind to move on
Call up- all your- other- options-
I know that I'm not your true love
Leave me behind to go on
I almost gave it all up for a bunch of lies
Bunch of lies, but I
Loved before it could take my eyes
Now I'm blind
And I can't see
Ooo
And I can't see
I almost gave all it up for a bunch of lies
Now I can't see
Now I can't see
I almost gave it up
Hold on, new love
So con- trollin'
Why can't you just find a new love?
Leave me behind to move on
Call up- all your- other- options-
I know that I'm not your true love
Leave me behind to go on
Hold on, new love
So con- trollin'
Why can't you just find a new love
Leave me behind to move on
Call up- all your- other- options-
I know that I'm not your true love
Leave me behind to go on
