Veronica
Barbados Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I′d raise the highest mountain
Drink the sevens seas
Just to have you honey right here next to me
I would lie and cheat and steal
I'd get on my knees and kneel
And since you own my heart I′d sell the rest of me
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There's nothing in the world that I would not do My Veronica sweet Veronica
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
Well I′d walk a pirate′s plank
Attack a panzer tank
Break into Fort Knox and rip out all the gold And you're the one I′ll blame
'Cause when I hear your name
The love I feel for you comes on so big and bold
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There′s nothing in the world that I would not do My Veronica sweet Veronica
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
Well I′d walk around the clock
I would never stop
I'd do whatever it might take to have you by my side And then I would never sleep
And all I own is yours to keep
There's nothing I would leave undone or leave untried
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There′s nothing in the world that I would not do My Veronica sweet Veronica
I′m gonna make you love me like I love you
My Veronica sweet Veronica
There's nothing in the world that I would not do My Veronica sweet Veronica

I′m gonna make you love me like I love you
I'm gonna make you love me like I love you
