Get Your Way
Brasstracks feat. Roses Gabor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So when I stay, gonna give in
I should know better, I'm gonna change
But I'm a lover, I like the taste
I need a decoy to distract me in a hurry
It won't be long now before we're rolling in the deep
Said my teenies before you know
Eating cherries, take away the gold
I know I'm 'bout to make a mistake But hey
Wish I didn't like you the way I do
I can't resist, I'm just attracted to you
Wish I didn't like you, it doesn't pay
But I can't say no, I guess you gonna get your way
(he gonna get your way)
(Is he gonna get your way)
He says it's only, I knew it's right
A little magic, he can't deny
You're so impressive, a challenge that he likes
Heading for trouble if we don't get it right
Said my teenies before you know
Eating cherries, take away the gold
I can hardly stay away
I know I'm 'bout to make a mistake But hey
Wish I didn't like you the way I do
I can't resist, I'm just attracted to you
Wish I didn't like you, it doesn't pay
But I can't say no, I guess you gonna get your way
Wish I didn't like you the way I do
I can't resist, I'm just attracted to you
Wish I didn't like you, it doesn't pay
But I can't say no, I guess you gonna get your way
Wish I didn't like you the way I do
I can't resist, I'm just attracted to you
Wish I didn't like you, it doesn't pay
But I can't say no, I guess you gonna get your way
(he gonna get your way)
(Is he gonna get your way)

I think he caught me on a whim
I believe he got me when I was least expecting it
So when I stay, gonna give in
Therefore, when I stick around, I'll likely cave in to him
I should know better, I'm gonna change
Despite knowing better, I plan on altering myself
But I'm a lover, I like the taste
However, my innate affectionate nature enjoys this feeling
I need a decoy to distract me in a hurry
I require a diversion to quickly shift my attention away from him
It won't be long now before we're rolling in the deep
Soon enough, we'll be fully engrossed in our relationship
Said my teenies before you know
My heartbeats spoke to me and warned me
Eating cherries, take away the gold
Getting caught up in something sweet can lead to losing something valuable
I can hardly stay away
I find it difficult to distance myself
I know I'm 'bout to make a mistake But hey
I'm aware that I'm on the precipice of committing an error, but oh well
Wish I didn't like you the way I do
I desire not to have this level of affection for you
I can't resist, I'm just attracted to you
However, I cannot resist you as I am drawn to you
Wish I didn't like you, it doesn't pay
I wish I didn't hold these emotions, as they are not beneficial
But I can't say no, I guess you gonna get your way
Nonetheless, my inability to decline will result in you getting what you want
He says it's only, I knew it's right
He claims it's just casual, I know it's legitimate
A little magic, he can't deny
There is something enchanting about our dynamic that he cannot resist
You're so impressive, a challenge that he likes
You are so remarkable and represent a challenge that he relishes
Heading for trouble if we don't get it right
However, if we cannot navigate our relationship correctly, we will encounter difficulties
