Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like the way that it don't take much for you to start, no!
Mini! No one takes me further than you
Mini! Don't you look at me that way, you know it's true
Got a journey, in my pocket, if you want it, then you got it
Got a journey, in my pocket, if you want it, then you got it
And now I realize
You got freedom in your eyes
My love is no surprise, to you, whoa
Mini! No one takes me further than you
Mini! Don't you look at me that way, you know it's true (you know it's true)
We go the distance, yeah, to the mountains in the sky
The destination's clear, you got freedom in your eyes (alright)
Oh-oh you know
Mini! No one takes me further than you
Mini! Don't you look at me that way, you know it's true (you know it's true)
And now I realize
You got freedom in your eyes
My love is no surprise, to you, oh
Mini! No one takes me further than you
Mini! Don't you look at me that way, you know it's true
Mini! No one takes me further than you (ooh)
Mini! No one takes me further than you
You got freedom in your eyes
No one takes me further than you
