Hide and Seek
5 Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm looking here and there
And I'm searching everywhere
To find your love
I had to play so hard to get
And I hadn't found out yet where you are
You know I find just what you got
Here I come ready or not
Hide and seek
It's just a game with me
Hide and seek
Swear I'm gonna find you
Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek
(Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)

When I try so hard to see
When you keep this mystery
Around our love
Every simple breath you take
Always makes the love we make seem so new, yeah
You're up to your old tricks again
I close my eyes and count to ten

Hide and seek
It's just a game with me
Hide and seek
Swear I'm gonna find you
Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek
(Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)

Time
Hide and seek
Hide and seek
(Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)

Sneaking up on us
But it's only a question of time
Question of time
Time

You know I find just what you got
Here I come ready or not

Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
It's just a game with me
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
Swear I'm gonna find you
Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)

Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
It's just a game with me
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
Swear I'm gonna find you
Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)

I'm gonna find (hide and seek)
(Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
Gonna find you boy
I'm gonna sneak you out (hide and seek)
(Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
I'm gonna find you boy
Swear I'm gonna find you
Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)

Oooh oooh it's just a game
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
A game we play
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
I'm gonna find you boy
Swear I'm gonna find you
Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
Get ready, get ready
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
Yeah
Get ready, hide and seek
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
Gonna find you boy
Swear I'm gonna find you




Sneaking up behind you
Hide and seek (hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek)
