Say My Name
Emerson Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You read Gresham novels, I'd rather watch a movie
Baby, we're like night and day yeah
You like frappacino, Leonardo DiCaprio
I like AL Pacino and I take my coffee straight
It's no secret
Girl, we're different
Every single hesitation
Goes out the window
When you say my name
I can feel forever
When you touch my face
Girl, I feel invincible
Nothing seems impossible
I'm superman
You've got me flying high
Baby say my name just one more time
You like hip hop dancing
I'd rather wait for something slow
It's a little less work for two left feet
You wear Italian leather
My polyester suits me fine
It's inevitable
We're gonna disagree
It's no secret
Girl, we're different
It's not like we don't know
Every single hesitation
Goes out the window
When you say my name
I can feel forever
When you touch my face
Girl, I feel invincible
Nothing seems impossible
I'm superman
You've got me flying high
Baby say my name just one more time
When you say my name
I can feel forever
When you touch my face
Girl, I feel invincible
Nothing seems impossible
I'm superman
You've got me flying high
Baby say my name just one more time
When you say my name
When you say my name
When you say my name
