Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
VERSE: baby you’re one in a million on you I thrive cuz you give me purpose and meaning to my life
I don’t wanna be without you for a single day wanna wrap you in my arms and go hide away
PRE: oh baby I just want it all, and all to myself don’t want to share my precious one with nobody else I wish that I could make us both disappear
so the rest of the world didn’t know that you’re here
CHORUS: cuz I want to keep you forever just like a secret of mine
and I think if we were together we’d have the time of our life
I don’t want to share with nobody you’re the greatest taboo
VERSE 2: you are there to back me up when I’m feeling weak you’re the one that cares for me and makes my life complete
I can see it through the darkness how you shine your light you’re the weakness of mine that I’m trying to hide
PRE
