Love Thing
Jasmine Crowe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bitter tongue
Broken trust
Memories that hurt too much
Flinch at the touch
Being better off alone
Safe and cold a heart of stone
Giving up
So how did you get under my skin
Hit my veins, get my blood flowing
Mainline straight into my heart
Make it restart
I'm not good at this love thing
Keep pushing you away
Don't wanna need your love babe
Too close for me to stay
I'm not good at this love thing (Love thing)
I'm not good at this love (Love)
I'm not good at this love thing (Love thing)
I'm not good at this love (Love)
From the inside out you've won
Disarmed me with my armor on
So I can't run
Oh how did you get under my skin
Hit my veins, get my blood flowing
Mainline straight into my heart
Make it restart
I'm not good at this love thing
Keep pushing you away
Don't wanna need your love babe
Too close for me to stay
I'm not good at this love thing (Love thing)
I'm not good at this love (Love)
I'm not good at this love thing (Love thing)
I'm not good at this love (Love)
What's the worst that could happen
If I give in and let my guard down
What's the worst that could happen
If I give in, wanna shut everyone out
You get under my skin
Hit my veins, get my blood flowing
Mainline straight into my heart
Make it restart
I'm not good at this love thing
Keep pushing you away
Don't wanna need your love babe
Too close for me to stay
I'm not good at this love thing (Love thing)
I'm not good at this love (Love)




I'm not good at this love thing (Love thing)
I'm not good at this love (Love)
