Loyalty
Alice Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gave you all I have to give
My love, my time,
I couldn't give the life I've lived
That can't be right.
I never thought that this could be
For you and me the scenes are fade, I couldn't see
The song I'll never sing.
[Chorus]
Don't take for granted my loyalty
Don't be so shady,
We were friends, alright?
Just moving down the line, boy
You turned on me, was it jealousy?

Now when you call me just to calm
Me by your side, don't be surprised if I don't run
Just to make it right.
I think I just misunderstood,
You couldn't be expected to do what you should
I know you never would.





[Chorus]

Atleast Alice is still hear she's so wonderful and soulful her album is even better than her debut!! Uggh she's grown so much vocally!! I need her to do a collab with my other two fabs Valerie June and Liam Bailey!! Then she can sing with Kwabena (Kwabs) and Micheal Kiwanuka. If they all did collab with her I'd freak out from happiness!! :D <3 OH Alice your voice is like a dream...
