Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm dangerous
With my wild imagination
You'd better stop right now
Yeah you better
Oh, it's too late
That pink cotton candy, the sound of your voice
Completely destroys me
Yeah, I'm coming apart at the seams
Feeling you pulling my strings
Waking me up with a dream
That's so real
With passionate desperate
Passionate desperate
Passionate desperate love
You're holding me closer than a whisper baby
Mmm secretly I love the way you drive me crazy
want to feel, gotta feel
Your hands cooling my skin
I'm caught in the flames of my desire
Your pour on your kisses
Baby, that's fire

Feeling you pulling my strings
Waking me up with a dream
