Kelis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You draw me in,
Every time I think I'm free you win.
Just like a sin,
When I know it's wrong but still begin.

Yes I know that I invite it,
I try to fight but like a fire I'm ignited.
You force the dark from my life I'm so inspired.
I heard the signs but now everything is quiet.

It's you,
I can't run, I can't run to you.
It's true,
I'll give up, I'll give up for you.

So when I'm scared so I stop crying,
Her pains are vicious but it must be that I like it.
Her world's divided but it still looks like a party.
When I'm alone that's when I found crying.

You draw me in,
Every time I think I'm free you win.
Just like a sin,
When I know it's wrong but still begin.

It's you,
I can't run, I can't run to you.
It's true,
I'll give up, I'll give up for you.

You draw me in,
Every time I think I'm free you win.
Just like a sin,
When I know it's wrong but still begin.

We control the dance floor.
We control the dance floor.
We control the dance floor.
Dance floor, dance floor
