Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La da da la da da da da da da
Standing across the room
I saw you smile
Said I want to talk to you
For a little while
But before I make my move
My emotions start running wild
And that's no lie
I'm looking at your brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Your brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Singing
La da da la da da da da da da
La da da la da da da da da da
La da da la da da da da da da
I want to make you sweat
La da da la da da da da da da
Standing across the room
I saw you smile
Said I want to talk to you
For a little while
But before I make my move
My emotions run wild
My tongue gets tied
And that's no lie
Brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Your brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Your brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Your brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Singing
La da da la da da da da da da
Make you sweat
La da da la da da da da da da
La da da la da da da da da da
La da da la da da da da da da
La da da la da da da da da da
La da da la da da da da da da
Brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
Your brown eyes
I want to make you sweat
