Adonai Mahoungou & Nick Wilkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's play some dress up
I'll wear my suit
And you'll wear that skirt
I wanna know everything on your mind
Don't be shy

Is this your castle?
Do you need a king?
Am i your knight and shining armor waiting for you?

Let's go get some daisies
It looks so pretty in your hair
When we locked eyes
My heart skipped a beat or two

Let's play some dress up
I'll be the cat
And you'll be the mouse
I wanna chase ya
Catch me as fast as you can

Is this your castle?
Do you need a king?
Am I your knight and shining armor waiting for you?

Let's go get some daisies
It looks so pretty in your hair





When we locked eyes
My heart skipped a beat or two
