Ten Times
Jody Raffoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I could make you believe
I was all you'd ever need
Then all your wishes
All your dreams
And fantasies…
Ten times
Ten times
I'll give it all back to you
Ten times
More than you'll ever know
Ten times
I'll give it all back to you
Baby don't you lie to me
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
I wish I could get over me
Let you be who you wanna be
All your wishes
All your dreams
And fantasies can be real
Ten times
Everything you do
Ten times
I'll give it all back to you
Ten times
More than you'll ever know
Ten times
I'll give it all back to you
Lately you've been telling me
There's an angel watching over me
Who then watches over you
My angel, with a broken wing
Ten times
Everything you do
Ten times
I'll give it all back to you
Ten times
More than you'll ever know
Ten times
I'll give it all back to you
Ten times
More than you ever knew
Ten times
