X
Jason Derulo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh yeah, love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex
I am still in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex

I know you can't stand me
And when you're angry
Something about that just turns me on
You're such a diva, I didn't need ya
But when you're close it's the same old song

I'm all over you, you're all over me
I hate that you loved me so good (so good), so good (so good)
I can't live with or without you, I'm hooked (I'm hooked), I'm hooked (I'm hooked)
Baby's so unusual, so unusual
How you want it (how you want it), you want it
All the feel is mutual, is so mutual
And I'm on it, I can't stand means

I am still in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex

I am still in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex
Love with my ex

I see other people, just to be evil
It hurts to watch you do the same thing
But from a distance, girl I was missing
That you would come back like a boomerang and

I'm all over you, you're all over me
I hate that you loved me so good (so good), so good (so good)
I can't live with or without you, I'm hooked (I'm hooked), oh I'm hooked
Baby's so unusual, so unusual
How you want it (how you want it), you want it
All the feel is mutual, is so mutual
And I'm on it, I can't stand means

I am still in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex

I am still in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex
Love with my ex

Lo-lo-love with my ex
Love with my ex
Even though we're broken up, broken up baby
I still wanna lay you down, lay you down
We may be the perfect match because of the sex attract
Don't wanna leave right now, leave right now
'Cause

I'm all over you, you're all over me
Baby's so unusual, so unusual
How you want it (how you want it), you want it
All the feel is mutual, is so mutual
And I'm on it, I can't stand means

I am still in love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex

I am still in love, love, love, love




Love, love, love, love, lo-lo-lo-love with my ex
Love with my ex
