Barbados Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se mig bara för den jag är
Du kan ge mig mer än jag nånsin funnit här

Jag försöker sakta nå dig
Om du vågar så finns jag för dig
Ingen annan kunde få mig
Ingen låga brann som för dig

Det finns alltid nån
Som väntar på nån å ser
Aldrig någon annan
Å älskar du mig
Så väntar jag här på dig

Se mig bara för den jag är
Du kan ge mig mer än jag nånsin funnit här
Se mig bara för den jag är
Om jag ber dig kommer du att stanna här

Det finns vägar ingen vågar
Det finns stunder som alltid blir kvar
Å jag önskar att du når mig
Med din värme allt som du har

Det finns alltid nån
Som väntar på nån å ser
Aldrig någon annan
Å älskar du mig
Så väntar jag här på dig

Se mig bara för den jag är...

Se mig bara för den jag är
Du kan ge mig mer än jag nånsin funnit här

Se mig bara för den jag är
Om jag ber dig kommer du att stanna här

Se mig
