Angelina
George Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt so warm and free holding her so tight
Now I got this fever
Covers me from coast to coast and all day
She took a hold of my feelings
With a simple soft demand
And I played right into her hands
Now I got this fever
But I found out that
Love's supposed to be this way
Angelina, your the queen of my make believe
Someday we'll cross the line, you and me
It's the morning after, Angelina
Love late into the night is just a state of mind
'Cause I'm in love with a woman that'll never be mine
I got this fever
Covers me from coast to coast and all day
Put the devil behind me
Making time on a tired old town
Where the night life makes me crazy
Crazy for that little girl
Done got this fever
And it follows me through the valley of the shamed
Angelina, your the queen of my make believe
Someday we'll cross the line, you and me
It's the morning after, Angelina
