Monster
Cassie Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was young and restless I had debts to pay
I was high and low, I was out of control
I was down in the dirt, I was jaded and cold
Ooh, wee, ooh, there's a fire in her eyes
My oh my, is it ever gonna die?
Ooh, wee, ooh, there's a fire in her head
And she comes in kicking and screaming
She's a monster, you know what I mean man
She'll take you out when you are sleeping
Sleeping, Ooh, barracuda
She was feeding fools with loving 'till she was
Too fast to last, she was colder than cold
She was hot, yes hot, she had seduced a lot
She was crazy and free, yeah her and me
We were living out wild
We were a crazy child
We were lovers and friends
But it neh-never ends
We were dancing queens
We had more than a dream
We were monsters, you see
Yeah, you know what I mean
Ooh, wee, ooh, there's a fire in her eyes
My oh my, is it ever gonna die?
Ooh, wee, ooh, there's a fire in her head
Don't worry baby, no it ain't that bad
And she comes in kicking and screaming
She's a monster, you know what I mean man
She'll take you out when you are sleeping
Sleeping, Ooh, barracuda
Ooh, wee, ooh, there's a fire in her eyes
My oh my, is it ever gonna die?
Ooh, wee, ooh, there's a fire in her head
Don't worry baby, no it ain't that bad
And she comes in kicking and screaming
She's a monster, you know what I mean man
She'll take you out when you are sleeping
Screaming, "Ooh!"
And she comes in kicking and screaming
She's a monster, you know what I mean man
She'll take you out when you are sleeping
Sleeping, Ooh, barracuda
