Octavia's Love Song
Femme Fatality Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a bad man from the wrong side of the tracks
I've got this burning desire and a favor to ask
I sing a different kind of love song
And by the look on your face you're going to play all my games

You see i've been keepin an eye on you (all night)
Tell you that i will live and die for you (it's a lie)
Cause back in the lou i'm doing this (all the time)
(all night)
(it's a lie)
(come on baby)
(live the life)

If you're coming from the damage group and you know just what to do (whew)
Get your hand up
Get your hand up
If your ready for the moment and the action's right in front of you
Get your hand up
Get your hand up
If you're a lovely lover and you're about to get with something new
Get your hand up
Get your hand up
And if i'm choosing you you've gotta show me all your favorite moves

You're a bad girl and there's no bringing you back
Octavia's in town and he's on the attack
He sings a different kind of love song
And by the look on your face you're going to play all of his games

Everybody got to do it
Don't act like you see though it
Oh god i just cant stop the sound
Do they know that i have found

Out little ones out out you must go
This makes no sense like miro
My town what went wrong
Oh i'll pretend to go along

To keep what's left within me
It's been a long so long journey




To where that i that i may be tonight
Disappear there is no light
