Oh No
Bad Animal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went up to my window looking for you
If time could tell, it'd tell you I'd lose
Well I'm looking at those high heels
You were just the best deal I could choose
But I'm looking out my window
I knew it was, it was true
She took my time she stole my brain
And then she saw me, she says ""oh no""
I want it all, I'm not the same
And then she saw me, she says ""oh no""
You're looking at a time bomb ticking for you
If eyes could tell I'd say yours are blue
You're looking for that feeling as it keeps (reeling) that you could lose
But you're looking at a time bomb I know that it's well it's true
She took my time she stole my brain
And then she saw me, she says ""oh no""




I want it all I'm not the same
And then she saw me, she says ""oh no""
