Anouk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
Won't you just let go
Honey, what you do to me
Why you messin' with my man
It's not only Mister Right
Must be something I can do
To keep him away from you
'Cause without him there's no chance
I could ever love again
Don't you understand, girl
Save me
Please don't take away my man from me
'Cause I just wouldn't know now what to do without him
We both know you care, please don't take my man
What did you just do to me
Stabbing me right in the back, like that
Well have you got no dignity
I could never do that to you
Let alone to you my friend
And now you got me thinking
Baby, I should take the blame
For letting you be such good friends
But it never crossed my mind
This could happen over time
I gotta make you understand
Save me
Please don't take away my man from me
'Cause I just wouldn't know now what to do without him
We both know you care, please don't take him, no
No, no, no
Please don't take him away
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I gotta me you understand, girl
Save me
Please don't take away my man from me
'Cause I just wouldn't know now what to do without him
Don't you understand, no, no
I beg, I cry
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
I beg, I cry
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
So don't you take him
I beg, I cry
No, don't take him
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
No, don't take him
I beg, I cry
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
I beg, I cry
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
I beg, I cry
Swallow all my pride
All that to make you stay
