What You Came Here For
Brandon October Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you came walking by
Blood in my veins was rushing, rushing
I saw cupid flying across the sky
So I raced out to meet you
Wasn't sure what I'd say
Thought maybe I could get your number
We could go, baby go on a dateOh yeah
She met me at her front door
Said welcome inside (welcome inside)
My hair stood up and something told me
There was no place, no place to hide
The lights when out, I shivered
Felt the fear deep inside
And then I heard her whisper to me
You're mine, baby here for the ride
Baby don't cry, make it funky
I'll shake your body till you can't no more
I feel the fire burning deep inside you
I'll give you more than you came here for
I saw the world through new eyes
Every sound was so clear
I felt like I was flying, higher
It took over, gone away was the fear
I couldn't understand it
But still had doubts in my head
She said there'd be no mercy, mercy
She said, baby you're already dead
Baby don't cry, make it funkyI'll shake your body till you can't no more
I feel the fire burning deep inside you
I'll give you more than you came here for
Baby don't cry, make it funky
I'll shake your body till you can't no more
I feel the fire burning deep inside you
I'll give you more than you came here for
Some time later, I made my way home
Was half past four
I turned around and I looked in the mirror
My reflection wasn't there no more
Baby don't cry, make it funky
I'll shake your body till you can't no more
I feel the fire burning deep inside you
I'll give you more than you came here for
Baby don't cry, make it funky
I'll shake your body till you can't no more
Feel the fire burning deep inside you
I'll give you more than you came here for
I'll give you more than you came here for
