Ben Liebrand Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should I listen what you say
Or listen what your folks say?
It's a tough decision to make
I don't really wanna lose you
But I don't want your folks to
Turn me over to the hands of the law

I guess they think that

I'm not good enough for you
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
(As the tears roll from my eyes)
As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside
(As I reach, reach out to you)
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused

Oh, oh I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out

You see I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out

If you love one another
Why should you let this go further?
Can't you see it's gonna pull us apart
If you think I can't afford to
Support you if you want to
Ever think about ever settlin' down?

I guess they think that
I'm not good enough for you
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes
(As the tears roll from my eyes)
As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside
(As I reach, reach out to you)
As I reach out to you saying I'm so confused

Oh, oh I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out

You see I'm trapped
Like a fool I'm in a cage
I can't get out
You see I'm trapped
Can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

(Can't you see I'm so trapped
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see I'm so trapped
So in love with you.)

See I'm trapped
And I'm so confused
I'm like a man in a cage
And I'm so in love with you

I'm trapped
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
Your thoughts are in the way
(And I don't know what to do)
And I don't know what to say
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
You see I'm trapped
(So in love with you)

Oh I told myself
(Trapped)
If I ever love again
(Trapped)
What am I gonna do about it?
(Trapped)
Say it again
(Trapped)

Oh baby I'm trapped
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
I'm so confused
(And I don't know what to do)
I'm like a man in a cage
(Can't you see I'm so trapped)
And I'm so in love with you
(So in love with you)
Love with you
Love with you

Oh I'm trapped
(Trapped)
Feel so confused
So depressed
(Trapped)
Hey, I'm so in love with you

Oh I'm trapped baby
Oh I'm trapped baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh I'm trapped baby

(Can't you see I'm so trapped
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see I'm so trapped
So in love with you
I'm going out of my head
It seems I'm crazy for you
I'm going out of my head for you)

Real, this love you're giving me
Oh girl!
What I'm gonna do about it?
But it's so confusing

Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'm so confused
