Piccadilly
Dua Empat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ears, I need him listen to what I say
And eyes, at least try to focus when I'm talking to him
Oh, is it that hard? Or do I bore him dear?
Why is it so hard to love me?

Well, he may get easily distracted
But it doesn't mean he don't listen to you, girl
Oh it isn't that hard, I'm sure you don't bore him, dear
Why is it so hard to trust him?

Don't defend him (I don't defend him, I'm on your side)
I'm getting tired, why does he have to be so different with me?
Don't hesitate (I don't hesitate, it's called thinking)
Then better stop doing it
Why do you have to complicate all things?

Okay, I might sometimes complicate some things
(Well, you might sometimes complicate things a lot)
But, it's not something I could control on my own
Oh please understand, won't you please at least try?
Look and listen if you love him

Ears, I need him listen to what I say
And eyes, at least try to focus when I'm talking to him
Oh, is it that hard? Or do I bore him dear?
Why is it so hard to love me?

Oh well, he might get easily distracted
But, it doesn't mean he don't listen to you, dear
It isn't that hard, I'm sure you don't bore him, girl
Why is it so hard to trust him?

Don't defend him (I don't defend him, I'm on your side, girl)
I'm getting tired (uh-uh)
Why does he have to be so different with me?
Don't hesitate (I don't hesitate, it's called smart)
Then better stop doing it
Why do you have to complicate all things?

Okay, I might sometimes complicate some things
(You complicate some things a lot)
But, it's not something I could control on my own (here we start again)
Oh please understand, won't you please at least try?
Look and listen if you love me




Look and listen if you love me (yeah, come on girl, you gotta try)
Look and listen if you love him
