Wrapped
Catherine Britt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only one to let these chills roll down my skin
My heart beats faster when I hear your name
And I feel my confidence slipping away
Thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
I see your face and then I'm wrapped
It feels like ages since you laid down in my arms
See no good reason, I'm tangled in your charm
My God, your smiling and you catch my eye
Well, my heart is pounding deep inside
Thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
And I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again
Ain't gonna let no man go down without a fight
Cause my stones and walls look better in the bright daylight
My heart beats faster, I call your name
And I feel my confidence slipping away
Oh, thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
And I see your face and then I'm wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again
Your finger again
