Haunted heart
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll be fallin' for miles
I'm bewitched by your misery
But I love it when you smile
Let me know what you want from me
Whisper low in my ears
Before you try to get your hooks in me
I should warn you, my dear
My heart is a haunted house
Once you're in you ain't gettin' out
It's the trap you've been waitin' for
Ain't no windows, ain't no doors
No escapin' the way you feel
It's like a dream but you hope it's real
My, my, my heart
My, my, my, my heart is a haunted (haunted house)
Watch your step when you walk to me
Careful where your heart treads
Suddenly you'll be in too deep
You'll be caught up in my web
You will think of me constantly
It'll drive you insane
Like the tattoo you can't remove
Like the blood in your veins
My heart is a haunted house
Once you're in you ain't gettin' out
It's the trap you've been waitin' for
Ain't no windows, ain't no doors
No escapin' the way you feel
It's like a dream but you hope it's real
My, my, my heart
My, my, my, my heart is a haunted (haunted house)
Yeah
It's a haunted (haunted house)
