anytime
Amanda Alexander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lift me up, you wanna show the world
I'm your girl, I'm your girl
Then the other way around, you left me on the ground, now
I wonder what you really wanted?
Just a moment of pleasure? but
Tell me how, tell me how
How can you look at me the way like you wanted me to stay
That you don't wanna be with me?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
"You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us
You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us"
Funny how it all ended,
Not too cool that you called my best friend
I was there, I was there
Yeah, you blame on the booze, don't take me for a fool but
Still I'm jealous of her, cause you've got to hear your voice
Tell myself, tell myself was just another face, easy to replace
Well yeah, when I'm having those kind of nights
When I take on every fight
With myself, with myself
"You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us
You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us"
Five past three, outside the club
So damn drunk
You standing there, and I look away
But you're coming over here
Oh, no
What am I supposed to say?
And why the hell do you look at me that way?
So, I say you can't call me anytime,
'Cause there'll never be a time for us, for us
"You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us
You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us"
"You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us
You can call me anytime,
But now it's not the time for us, for us"
