The Maccabees Lyrics
Cradle me, I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart with a woop a woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
So with toothpaste kisses and lines
I'll be yours and you'll be
Lay with me, I'll lay with you
We'll do the things that lovers do
Put the stars in our eyes
And with heart shaped bruises
And late night kisses divine

Cradle me, I’ll cradle you,
I’ll win your heart with (wolf whistle)
Pulling shapes just for your eyes
So with toothpaste kisses and lines
I’ll be yours and you’ll be...
Lay with me, I’ll lay with you
We’ll do the things that lovers do,
Put the starts in our eyes.
And with heart shaped bruises and late night kisses divine
So with toothpaste kisses and lines
Stay with me
Stay with you
Doing things that lovers do
