Banks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please call me your baby baby baby
Look how long that you have kept me waiting
I'm all in, look at all that I have given
Oh, I know your love before I kissed you
And now you have only made me miss you
Come get me
Come love me, baby come love me

'Cause I'm lovesick
And I ain't even ashamed
And I'm hard up, for some time in your sheets
Would you be down to spend all your time with me?
'Cause I'm lovesick

Please call me your baby baby baby
Look how long that you have kept me waiting
I'm all in, look at all that I have given
Oh, I know your love before I kissed you
And now you have only made me miss you
Come get me
Come love me, baby come love me

'Cause I'm lovesick
And I ain't even ashamed
And I'm hard up, for some time in your sheets
Would you be down to spend all your time with me?
'Cause I'm lovesick
'Cause I'm lovesick
And I ain't even ashamed
And I'm hard up for some time in your sheets
Would you be down to spend all your time with me?
'Cause I'm lovesick

'Cause I'm love sick
'Cause I'm love sick
'Cause I'm love sick
'Cause I'm love sick

'Cause I'm love sick
'Cause I'm love sick
