Wrapped
Bruce Robison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only one to let these chills roll down my skin
My heart beats faster I hear your name
I feel my confidence slippin' away
Thought I was doin' fine 'bout to get you off my mind
I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again
It feels like ages since you lay down in my arms
See no good reason but still I'm tangled in your charms
My God you're smilin' you catch my eye
My heart is poundin' deep inside
Thought I was doin' fine 'bout to get you off my mind
I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again
Ain't gonna let no man go down without a fight
My stalls and walls look better in the bright day light
My heart beats faster I call your name
I feel my confidence slippin' away
Thought I was doin' fine 'bout to get you off my mind
I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger
Thought I was doin' fine 'bout to get you off my mind
I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again
