Bump
Angel Hotel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby gave me two bump, three then four
Tried to give a pick-me-up
She gave it to me there while I was lying on the floor
Baby gave me five bump
Just another little bump I want more
Wavy till my head thump
Let's all do the groovy till the night is no more
Never would have never would have
Lost my mind had I not been the lover of a jealous kind
Never would have never would have
Walked away in a world where it mattered what I had to say
Never would have never would have
Lost control if I had a little summer within my soul
Never would have never would have
Lost my way under skies that weren't raining on my everyday
Uh-oh why did I do it like that
Uh-oh wish I could take it all back
This time I've gone and lost my mind
Better dead if there's no way that I could hit rewind
Baby gave me five bump
Just another little bump I want more
Wavy till my head thump
Let's all do the groovy till the night is no more
