Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd give myself to thee, but just to clarify
My keeping distance, I confess that I know
cll too well you're not to be with me, but
From across the room you held my gaze
The keeper of my heart came to greet you
With a warm embrace now I feel this heat
In my hands and feet. I have a belly full of
You better not come any closer
Cause I'll loose myself if you do
cnd if in truth I cannot have you
Don't encourage me wanting you
Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back hurry while you still can
Go back now don't delay yourself
If you cannot be my man
Go back
Go back
Go back, don't tempt me, go back
Go back, don't tease me, go back
Be fair now, stop torturing me, go back
Be good and go back
