Someone
Denyah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People fall apart
And people disappear
I learned that fairly young so how did I still end up here
People in the dark
Are different in the day
And people can be dumb and make the stupidest mistakes
I'm a shooting star
I like to disappear
Who the hell can know where I will be within a year but
Leave me be
And if I had a boat
I'd sail the seven seas
If I was rich I'd make a cure for every disease
I know to make you stay I'd end up begging baby please
But I'm not one to beg for people who do not want me
Someone is bound to,bound to, bound to, bound to love me
Someone is
Someone is bound to, bound to, bound to, bound to love me
Bound to love me, love me, love me, love me like I do
Bound to love me, love me, love me, love me like I do
I'm afraid of this
And I'm afraid of that
But there will be another in the seat that you have sat
And he will know to love me
And he will know to care
And he will wonder how someone could leave me in despair
And he will know to love me
And he will know to care
And he will wonder how someone could leave me in despair
And he will know to love me
And he will wonder how someone could leave me in despair
Someone is bound to,bound to, bound to, bound to love me
Someone is
Someone is bound to, bound to, bound to, bound to love me
Bound to love me, love me, love me, love me like I do
Bound to love me, love me, love me, love me like I do
Bound to love me, love me, love me, love me like I do
Bound to love me, love me, love me, love me like I do
Bound to
Love me, love me say that you love me
Fool me, fool me oh how you do me




Love me, love me say that you love me
Fool me, fool me oh how you do me
