Thing For You
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got that kinda thing I should run from
But that's the reason why it's so fun
I always come back
Sending all the wrong signals to my brain (ooh)
Sending all the right feeling through my veins
I should go, but I never walk away
No, I never change
I got a thing for you
I've got a thing for the things that I shouldn't do
And when I'm next to you
I get those fucked up feelings
I do, 'cause I got a thing for you
I've got a thing for the things that I shouldn't do
And when I'm next to you
I get those fucked up feelings
I do, 'cause I got a
Thing for you
Thing for you
Couple of things that I'm tryna fix
But I think I like all my dirty habits
Maybe I'm a little too used to it
'Cause I always come back
Sending all the wrong signals to my brain (ooh)
Sending all the right feeling through my veins
I should go, but I never walk away
Always make the same mistakes
No, I never change
I got a thing for you
I've got a thing for the things that I shouldn't do
And when I'm next to you
I get those fucked up feelings
I do, 'cause I got a thing for you
I've got a thing for the things that I shouldn't do
And when I'm next to you
I get those fucked up feelings
I do, 'cause I got a
Thing for you
Thing for you
Thing for you
Thing for you
The lyrics to David Guetta's song "Thing For You" express the singer's desire for someone they know they should stay away from but can't resist. The lyrics suggest a familiarity with this pattern of behavior as the singer acknowledges that they always make the same mistakes and never change. The singer admits to enjoying their "dirty habits" and being "a little too used to it" which makes it difficult to break free from the cycle of attraction and frustration.
Despite knowing that being with this person is not the best choice, the singer can't help but be drawn to the "wrong signals" and "fucked up feelings" that arise when they are with them. This suggests a complex emotional connection where the singer is both aware of the negative aspects of the relationship but also unable to resist the positive ones.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of powerlessness when it comes to attraction and desire, as the singer is caught in a cycle of behavior they know is destructive but unable to break free.
