B.A.N.G! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Emotions flying high like a dove (so high)
What we gonna do about love
Playing games with me, this is tough
What we gonna do about love
Emotions flying high like a dove (so high)
What we gonna do about love
Playing games with me, this is tough
Started to approach you and forgot how to talk
Got the feeling no girl has ever given me
You're the most beautiful girl that I've seen (yeah)
You kept my heart pumping each day
Until you shattered it when you walked away
I was on my knees begging you to stay
That was the day I threw it all away
Drinking and smoking to numb the pain
Being sobers something I couldn't maintain (no)
It's a feeling most people never understand
I said I was fine while reaching out my hand
Cause if I would've asked for help I'd be less of a man
Anxiety was taking all of my plans
A feeling I would never wish on anyone
Now I'm learning how to have sober fun
What we gonna do about love
Emotions flying high like a dove (so high)
What we gonna do about love
Playing games with me, this is tough
What we gonna do about love
Emotions flying high like a dove (so high)
What we gonna do about love
Playing games with me, this is tough
What we gonna do about love
I need some answers from above
God let me know what you want me to do
I would never try to disappoint you (no)
So please don't say this ship has sailed
I never thought that our love would fail
