Obsession
GD&T.O.P./BigBang (GD solo) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If only I could hold you once
I wish you were my lover for just a moment
Please, please, please I pray
Us, us, us, us together, together
Because I love her so much my greed keeps growing
I want you for myself. You by yourself. Don't run, don't escape.

1-uno 2-dos 3-tres 4-cuatro

Time passes and it's been years since I've seen you.. So what?
All I do is call your name in front of you
I couldn't stand meeting as friends, No
I'm going crazy. No I grow crazier. The more I meet you
My head gets fuzzy, my heart is confused,
I don't know what I'll do either, Yeah

Eyes that can't lie, The dream last night that was like a nightmare
I love it when you look only at me like this, say "dear"

It's my obsession, don't curse me
That's my obsession, don't look away
It's my obsession
Don't tell me please, Don't tell me, That's my obsession
That's my obsession

If only I could hold you once
I wish you were my lover for just a moment
Please, please, please I pray
Us, us, us, us together, together

I'm sorry
That night wasn't lonely
For some reason there's nothing different to the usual
But the spot I prepared so beautifully for you doesn't look that happy
Not even a word, But it's okay dear
It doesn't bother me, I'm happy we're together
Don't worry anymore
I'll stay by your side and protect you forever

Eyes that can't lie, The dream last night that was like a nightmare
I don't know what to do if you fall asleep so quietly, Dear open your eyes

It's my obsession, Don't curse me
That's my obsession, Don't turn your back at me
It's my obsession
Don't tell me please, Don't tell me, That's my obsession
That's my obsession

If only I could hold you once
I wish you were my lover for just a moment
Please, please, please I pray
Us, us, us, us together, together

[serious tone]Smile, please smile,
you're prettiest when smiling, Cry? Why am I crying?
Wipe those tears, and you have no expression
You stiffen, I bring my knees to the floor,
and ask you what you did wrong[/serious tone]

Endless expectations, by some possibility
If it was all a joke, if someone woke me up
This was all my persistence, If only I lessened my greed
If I knew I'd live like this as a sinner

1-uno 2-dos 3-tres 4-cuatro

It's my obsession, Don't curse me
That's my obsession, Don't turn your back at me
It's my obsession
Don't tell me please, Don't tell me, That's my obsession
That's my obsession

If only I could hold you once
I wish you were my lover for just a moment




Please, please, please I pray
Us, us, us, us together, together
