Need Your Love
Charli XCX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Yee!
I just wanna drink you up
Pour you in a silver cup
You know I like to party
But you know I love your body
I hate myself for hurting you
Honestly, I'm reckless
I'm sorry if I'm selfish
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words I don't know what to say
Back, back to the beginning
Really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I blame it on your love
Sorry I'm a little scared
But no one ever really cared (ah)
I took you for granted (yeah, I did)
Just a big misunderstanding
I just want to spend the night (one night)
Sleeping in your bed tonight, yeah
Watch a little TV
I love it when you need me
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words I don't know what to say
Back, back to the beginning
Really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
I blame it on your love (yeah, yeah)
Every time I fuck it up (fuck it up, man)
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I blame it on your love (y'all ready?)
I don't know what's wrong with this girl, Charli, she crazy
Gotta blame it on the, blame it on the, blame it on the juice
Looking at my booty like you don't know what to do
Baby, I know that you can't control it
But my body like a swisher, just roll it
I'ma give you one chance to fall in love
Give you one chance, don't fuck this up
Ah ah oh (uh-oh, uh-oh)
I'm tryna catch millions, I ain't tryna catch feelings (bitch!)
I blame it on your love (yeah, yeah)
Every time I fuck it up (fuck it up, man)
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do (hahahaha, ok, that's it)

Мне нужна твоя любовь
I need your love
Мне это нужно, даже когда мне больно
I need it even when it hurts me
я не сдамся
I won't give up
Я не сдамся, так что приди и возьми меня
I won't give up so come and get me
Мальчик, ты действительно испортил
Boy you really messed around
Поместите меня на шесть футов под землю
Put me six feet underground
Всегда пинай меня, когда я падаю
Always kick me when I'm down
Но я все еще еду по твоему городу
But I am still driving through your town
Пытался подделать это, я не могу этого вынести.
Tried to fake it I can't take it
Мальчик, ты ловишь мое сердце
Boy you trap my heart
Я не могу поколебать его, чтобы разбить на сто миллионов частей
I can't shake it 'bout to break in to a hundred million parts
Мне нужна твоя любовь
I need your love
Мне это нужно, даже когда мне больно
I need it even when it hurts me
я не сдамся
I won't give up
Я не сдамся, так что приди и возьми меня
I won't give up so come and get me
Мне нужна твоя любовь
I need your love
Мне это нужно, даже когда мне больно
I need it even when it hurts me
я не сдамся
I won't give up
Я не сдамся, так что приди и возьми меня
I won't give up so come and get me
Хотел бы ты носить мою корону
Wish that you could wear my crown
И почувствуй вес, который я чувствую сейчас
And feel the weight I'm feeling now
Но я не могу не сказать твое имя
But I can't help but say your name
Это молния, когда ты в моих венах
It's lightning when you're in my veins
Пытался подделать это, я не могу этого вынести.
Tried to fake it I can't take it
Мальчик, ты ловишь мое сердце
Boy you trap my heart
Я не могу поколебать его, чтобы разбить на сто миллионов частей
I can't shake it 'bout to break in to a hundred million parts
Мне нужна твоя любовь
I need your love
Мне это нужно, даже когда мне больно
I need it even when it hurts me
я не сдамся
I won't give up
Я не сдамся, так что приди и возьми меня
I won't give up so come and get me
Мальчик, ты действительно разбил мне сердце
Boy, you really broke my heart
Взял мою любовь и разорвал ее
Took my love and tore it up
Но я вернусь за тобой
But I'm coming back for you
Совершенно неожиданно
Coming clean out of the blue
Все, что ты сделал со мной
All the things you did to me
Я прощу их тихо
I'll forgive them quietly
Но я никогда не забуду
But I will never forget
Тем не менее я оказываюсь в твоей постели
Still I end up in your bed
Мне нужна твоя любовь (я не хочу ее)
I need your love (I don't want it)
Мне это нужно, даже когда мне больно (ты действительно причиняешь мне боль, детка)
I need it even when it hurts me (you really hurt me baby)
Я не сдамся (теперь я сдаюсь)
I won't give up (now I'm giving up)
Я не сдамся, так что приди и возьми меня (ты не придешь и не возьмешь меня)
I won't give up so come and get me (won't you come and get me)
Мне нужна твоя любовь (я не хочу ее)
I need your love (I don't want it)
Мне это нужно, даже когда мне больно (ты действительно причиняешь мне боль, детка)
I need it even when it hurts me (you really hurt me baby)
Я не сдамся (теперь я сдаюсь)
I won't give up (now I'm giving up)
Я не сдамся, так что приди и возьми меня (не так ли, не так ли, не приходи и не возьми меня, детка)
I won't give up so come and get me (don't you, don't you, don't you come and get me baby)
Не приходи и не бери меня, детка
Don't you come and get me baby

I need your love
I need it even when it hurts me
I won't give up
I won't give up, so come and get me
Boy, you really messed around
Put me six feet underground
Always kick me when I'm down
But I'm still driving through your town
Tried to fake it
I can't take it
Boy, you trapped my heart
I can't shake it
'Bout to break into a hundred millon parts
I need your love
I need it even when it hurts me
I won't give up
I won't give up, so come and get me
I need your love
I need it even when it hurts me
I won't give up
I won't give up, so come and get me
Wish that you could wear my crown
And feel the weight I'm feeling now
But I can't help but say your name
It's lightning when you're in my veins
Tried to fake it
I can't take it
Boy, you trapped my heart
I can't shake it
'Bout to break into a hundred millon parts
I need your love
I need it even when it hurts me
I won't give up
I won't give up, so come and get me
Boy, you really broke my heart
Took my love and tore it up
But I'm coming back for you
Coming clean, out of the blue
All the things you did to me
I forgive them quietly
But I will never forget
Still I end up in your bed
But I don't want it
(I need it even when it hurts me)
You really hurt me, baby
(I won't give up)
No, I'm giving up
(I won't give up so come and get me)
Don't you come and get me, baby
But I don't want it
(I need it even when it hurts me)
You really hurt me, baby
(I won't give up)
No, I'm giving up
(I won't give up so come and get me)
Don't you-don't you come and get me, baby
Don't you come and get me, baby
