French Affair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what to do
Coz' I'm still caught in you
I - Can't get away from you
I 'm feeling so confused
Coz' I'm still wanting you (I'm still wanting you)
I need your kiss - think I need it too much
I need your love - think I better don't touch
I need to love you - think I better don't touch
It's like poison
I'm caught in your web
Deep under my skin you make me sweat
You're like poison
My senses say stop
But I can't help, I want your love
You - you're such a cruel device
You've got a heart like ice
I can't get over you - no, no, no, no, no, no ,no
Each time - each time you call my name
It helps to ease the pain
Coz' I'm still caught in you (I'm still caught in you)
But I better don't touch
It's like poison
I'm caught in your web
Deep under my skin you make me sweat
You're like poison
My senses say stop
But I can't help, I want your love
It's like poison
I've gone too far
Deep under my skin - is where you are
You're like poison
Don't know what to do
Can't break the chains - still wanting you

The relationship is harmful and toxic
I'm caught in your web
I am trapped in your grasp

You have a powerful hold over me that makes me anxious
You're like poison
You are damaging and destructive
My senses say stop
My instincts are telling me to end the relationship
But I can't help, I want your love
Despite knowing it's unhealthy, I still desire your love
You - you're such a cruel device
You are a malicious tool used to hurt me
You've got a heart like ice
You are cold and unloving
Each time - each time you call my name
Whenever you address me
It helps to ease the pain
It provides temporary relief from my emotional distress
But I better don't touch
But it's best not to give in
I've gone too far
I am in too deep
Deep under my skin - is where you are
You are deeply ingrained in my being
Don't know what to do
I am unsure how to proceed
Can't break the chains - still wanting you
I am unable to sever the ties and still desire you
