Andrea
City Sleeps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If looks could kill then you'd be a murderer
Dying in the hills of Hollywood
I found out that you got lost with her
Don't call me here one more time
The night is closin' in
With just a kiss
Are you gonna save her from the world?
But you kissed her lips
Living my days in the future
You came in and had a baby
Entertain in this sensation
Andrea you took my girl from me
Don't call me here one more time
The night is closin' in
Andrea you came and stole my girl
With just a kiss
Are you gonna save her from the world?
But you kissed her lips
Andrea you come on like a machine
Andrea the night is closin' in
Don't you know what I mean?
If looks could kill you'd be a murderer
If looks could kill you'd be a murderer
Don't call me here one more time
The night is closin' in
Andrea you came and stole my girl
With just a kiss
Are you gonna save her from the world?
Are you gonna save her from the world?
Andrea you come on like a machine
Andrea the night is closin' in
Don't you know what I mean?
