Obsessed
보아 BoA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a crime, it's a crime, it's a shame, it's a crime.

I'm climbing the walls,
Losing my mind,
It's all your fault.
I'm breaking the rules,
Don't really care if I get caught.
Can't you tell that I'm in love, love, love,
Can't get enough of you.
Need you night and day.
When you're not around
I'm tested, I could get arrested,
Carrying on this way.
Eh, eh...

I'm going crazy here by myself.
I want you and no one else.
Sending out a signal of my distress.
I confess, I'm obsessed.
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh...
It's a crime, it's a shame, holding your love for me.
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh...
It's a crime, it's a shame, it's a crime.

I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed.
I'm obsessed, I'm obsessed.
(Oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh...)

No telling what I might do tonight,
Waiting for you.
I'm right on the edge of crossing the line,
Coming unglued.

Can't you tell that I'm in love, love, love,
Can't get enough of you.
Need you night and day.
When you're not around
I'm tested, I could get arrested,
Carrying on this way.
Eh, eh...

I'm going crazy here by myself.
I want you and no one else.
Sending out a signal of my distress.
I confess, I'm obsessed.
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh...
It's a crime, it's a shame, holding your love for me.
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh...
It's a crime, it's a shame, it's a crime.

Ey-ee-ey...
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
Ey-ee-ey...

Got me goin' crazy
The way I want you, baby.
Can't even try to have it.
Don't even want to fight it.

I'm obsessed with you tonight!
I'm obsessed with you tonight!

I'm going crazy here by myself.
I want you and no one else.
Sending out a signal of my distress.
I confess, I'm obsessed.
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh...
It's a crime, it's a shame, holding your love for me.
Uh-oh, uh-uh-uh-oh...
It's a crime, it's a shame, it's a crime.





Oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh...
Oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh-ooh-whoa, oh...
