Малина Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you just wanted me to
And I'd give it to you,
don't you tear it apart
You can lay down on me
Anytime you think that you need
I'd be ready to feed
So come into my life
The door is open, you see
'Cause you can count on me
Can I count on you?
Come along and give me all the things
I can't do without
Show me what love is about,
if you want it too
And I'll be
by your side forever and ever
Every day,
every night,
all my life with you
You can take your time to think
About this really good deal
'Cause I can make you feel
Like a prince or a king
But you gotta do the same
And treat me like a princess
Don't you fake or finesse
I deserve my diamond ring
So come into my door
My heart is open, you see
And I'm ready to be
always by your side
Come along and be the one
That I kiss when I wake up
No I won't give you up, no no
And I swear I'm gonna be so fine
You're not gonna waste you time
So daddy won't you say you'll be mine?
Baby, I can make you shine!
