I Do
░Placebo░ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
Where logic cannot interfere
I want to take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I want to fall in love with you
So how do we begin ?

I want to be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I want to wear my face like you
Shiseido MAC and Maybelline
I want to paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I want to fall in love with you
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do

I want to be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll kick back as men flirt with you
To jealousy I'll stay immune
This confidence in me and you
This hope that you and I will bloom
I want to fall in love with you
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do
I want to say I do





The question is do you?

I LIKE CHOPIN


Remember that piano
So delightful unusual
That classic sensation
Sentimental confusion
Used to say
I like Chopin
Love me now and again
Woooh
Rainy days never say goodbye
To desire when we are together
Rainy days growing in your eyes
Tell me where's my way
Imagine your face
In a sunshine reflection
A vision of blue skies
Forever distractions
Used to say
I like Chopin
Love me now and again
Woooh
Rainy days never say goodbye
To desire when we are together
Rainy days growing in your eyes
Tell me where's my way
Woooh ho
Rainy days never say goodbye
To desire when we are together
Rainy days growing in your eyes
Tell me where's my way
Rainy days never say goodbye
To desire when we are together
Rainy days growing in your eyes
Tell me where's my way

(Japanese lyrics)

Mimi wo fusagu yubi wo kuguri
Kokoro shibirasu amai shirabe
Tomete ano SHOPAN
Kare ni wa mou aenai no
Rainy days tachikirezu
Mado wo tatakanaide
Rainy days kiyasume wa mayaku Ah...

Hiza no ue ni hoho wo nosete
"Suki" to tsubuyaku ame no shirabe
Yamete sono SHOPAN
Omoide nara iranai wa
Rainy days tokubetsu no hito de naku naru made
Rainy days angou no PIANO Ah...

Rainy days tachikirezu
Kage ni furi kaereba
Rainy days tasogare no heya wa Ah...

Rainy days tokubetsu no hito wa mune ni ikite
Rainy days aikagi wo mawasu Chopin Ah...
