There's Something Going on
Co.Ro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now believe me...
Now believe me...

I can see that it won't belong,
You grow cold when you keep holdin' on
You know you've changed and your word is a lie
There's something you can't deny.

There's something going on
There's something going on

I called, you're not at home,
You're home but you're not alone
If you wanna leave so why don't you say,
Your love is gone anyway

I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on

Now believe me...
Now believe me...

I know a good thing must come to an end
But it's hard to take loosing a friend
I know what you think and what's in your mind
So darling look why pretend

I know there's something goin' on
I know there's something goin' on

I know it wont be long.
It wont be long before you're gone
