Bori Shoyebo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer,
I should be playing in the winter snow,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
I don't wanna miss out on the holiday,
But I can't stop staring at your face,
I should be playing in the winter snow,
With you, shawty with you
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe
Everyone's gathering around the fire,
Chestnuts roasting like a hot July,
I should be chillin' with my folks, I know,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
Word on the streets Santa's coming tonight,
Reindeer flying through the sky so high,
I should be makin' a list I know,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,
Hey love, the Wise Men followed the stars,
The way I follow my heart,
And it led me to a miracle.
Hey love, don't you buy me nothing, (don't you buy me nothing)
'Cause I am feeling one thing,
Your lips on my lips,
That's a merry merry Christmas.
It's the most beautiful time of the year,
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer,
I should be playing in the winter snow,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
I don't wanna miss out on the holidays,
But I can't stop staring at your face,
I should be playing in the winter snow,
But I'mma be under the mistletoe.
With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, shawty with you,
With you, under the mistletoe,
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe,
Show me baby that you love me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Kiss me underneath the mistletoe,
Show me baby that you love me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
yeahhhhhhh.
