Back to Bed
Boyskout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am Napoleon and you are my Josephine
I'll start a revolution for your love

I am your Romeo and you are my Juliet
I'll swallow poison if you swallow first

Turn off the TV and turn up the radio
I think I'm in love with you
Think I'm in love with you

Baby come back to bed, you know you want to
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed

If I were James Dean, darling, you'd play my leading role
Of temptress desire, collector of hearts

Pictures of your face across the screen of my mind
Shape of your pout, the sound of your laugh

Reach out to touch, feel these quivers rush through
Want you so much, oh baby, come back to bed

Baby come back to bed, you know you want to
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed
Forbidden love
The taste runs sweetly in the distance
I could hear them calling
Call, call, calling our names
Baby come back to bed, you know you want to
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed

Baby come back to bed, you know you want to
Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good




Baby come back to bed, I'll make you feel so good
Baby come back to bed
