Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i saw your smile
the way you walk the way you talk it's all there
i do declare
you make me see you make me feel
just like it was just like it is
it had to be
just you and me
finer than fine righter than right every night
ever so right without a doubt

without a speck of doubt you knock me out
you cripple me
better than fine ever so good without a doubt
there is no doubt i'm so glad
i'm done bein' sad now I've got a clue
about me & you
i saw your eyes

the way you walk don't walk away now
come back and cripple me it's what i want
