David Lawrence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love’s made me lose
I been lost and confused
But I don’t know you well
Oh, I don’t know love well

But you made me calm
So I start to disarm
But I don’t know you well
Oh, I don’t know you well

Oh, and I’d like to find out
Oh, would you let me in?
Oh, and I’d like to know you
Oh, would you let me in?

You’re on my mind
Such a rare little find
Still, I don’t know you well
Oh, I don’t know you well

Oh, and I’d like to find out
Oh, would you let me in?




Oh, and I’d like to know you
Oh, would you let me in?
