I Do
Felix Jaehn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drowning in an ocean over you
Forty foot waves
Whispering sweet nothings in your bed
Could stay here for days

Give you all of me, I'II never leave
Ways that we could stay between the sheets
Oh, but they can't see what you do to me
Doesn't really matter what they say

And they don't think you don't give enough
But I do, I do
They say I don't really need your love
But I do
I do

A open ticket to nowhere
Is how we spend our days
Chasing that silver lining hiding far away
I never wanted to change

Give you all of me, I'II never leave
Ways that we could stay between the sheets
Oh, but they can't see what you do to me
Doesn't really matter what they say

And they don't think you don't give enough
But I do, I do
They say I don't really need your love
But I do
I do

Give you all of me
Oh, but they can't see

And they don't think you give enough
But I do, I do
They say I don't really need your love




But I do
I do
