Inside Of You
Hoobastank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seems so obvious
There's something up with us
I swear I feel it
From across the room.
So can I ask you this?
Not to be forward, miss,
But I think I'll kill myself
If I never know

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cause I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you

Just ask and I will do
Anything you want me to
There is no limit
To how far I will go
And Im sure I can pretend
To be a gentlemen..
But before I begin,
I just gotta know,
Just gotta know.

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cause I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you

For now I'll play the game
And I'm waiting for your move
But I've got to say
That I never lose

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cause I love the way you move,
When I'm inside of you.
When I'm inside of you
When I'm inside of you.
You
You




You
When I'm inside of you
