Victoria
James Hersey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Victoria I met her at a show
With a body like that couldn't let her go home
At least not alone so she stuck around till the whole place closed
One night with a girl like that
One life with a girl like
She's on my knees saying won't you please come home with me baby

Oh my god

She said oh my god
She said oh my god
She said oh my god

Victoria she got a lot of time
She got the money and she wants to be mine
Well that's fine by me cause I ain't got a dime in the world gotta be
Victoria I wanna take you home
Show you where the bad girls go
Good god damn she's got it and imma
bout to lose my mind and that body like

Oh my god
She said oh my god
She said oh my god
She said oh my god
She said oh my god

Oh my god
She said oh my god
She said oh my god
She said oh my god

Victoria
I wanna take you home
I wanna show you where the bad girls go
Victoria
I wanna take you home
And she-she stuck around till the whole place closed

Oh my god
She said oh my god

She said oh my god
She said oh my god
