[Bulletproof]
[La Roux] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been there, done that, messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,
I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,
My informations' just not going in,
Burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more,
I'm not to not to love until it's cheap,
Been there, done that, messed around,
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

Chorus:
This time baby,
I'll be,
Bulletproof x2

I won't let you turn around,
And tell me now I'm much too proud,
To walk away from something when it's dead,
Do do do your dirty words come out to play when you are heard,
There's certain things that should be left unsaid,
Tick tick tick tick on the watch and life's too short for me to stop,
Oh baby, your time is running out,
I won't let you turn around,
And tell me now I'm much too proud,
All you do is fill me up with doubt,

Chorus:
This time baby I'll be bulletproof x2
This time baby I'll be bulletproof x2
This time I'll be bulletproof x2




This time maybe I'll be bulletproof x2
This time baby I'll be bulletproof x2
