Emma Blackery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got my boy right by my side
Right down here where we lay
Today we're going out to the beaches to see the sunshine
Despite the forecast telling us
It's gonna rain all the time
Cause we're too busy having
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Instead of looking back at photos in an album
We just look forward
What's to come?
We're too busy having fun, for anything to disrupt us, you know that I trust you
We're too busy having fun, running around
We're too busy having fun, for anything to destroy what I have with my boy
We're too busy having fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
Before we met I never had luck in releationships
They said I'm needy, said I'm hateful but now I'm over it
Cause when we go down to the beaches to see the sunshine
You hold my hand and it feels nice and I know you are all mine
And even though I'm getting older
You never make me feel like 22 means no fun
Except the times you say I'm acting like your mother
You know you are my only one
We're too busy having fun, for anything to disrupt us, you know that I trust you
We're too busy having fun, running around
We're too busy having fun, for anything to destroy what I have with my boy
We're too busy having fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
If I had my way I'd always make you happy
If I had my way you'd be there when I'm angry
I have no doubt one day you're gonna sail away from me
Across the ocean, far away from all my jealousy
But when I look at you and you are lying next to me
I cannot help but think of all the possiblities
We can see the world or sit here in our underwear
Cause when I'm with you I remember that I really don't care
We're too busy having fun, for anything to disrupt us, you know that I trust you
We're too busy having fun, running around
We're too busy having fun, for anything to destroy what I have with my boy
We're too busy having fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
