Listen Girl
Johan Östberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many times I have tried to get in your life
But you're already taken
People treating you wrong
They drag you along
You're taken for granted

Things ain't gonna be like before
I won't let them hurt you no more
Listen girl you don't have to worry
I won't make you sorry
Like the other ones do
Take your time there's no need to hurry
Baby believe me
You should never be alone

Love came first in the past
Now it's closer to last
You're mind gone of drifting
Take some time to decide
When the feeling is right
You know I'll be waiting

Things ain't gonna be like before
I won't let them hurt you no more
Listen girl you don't have to worry
I won't make you sorry
Like the other ones do
Take your time there's no need to hurry
Baby believe me
You should never be alone

Why don't you take a chance on me?
And meet what will be all us
That's why I put up all that to love you
And if you take a chance on me
I will never let you go

Many times I have tried to get in your life

Listen girl

Listen girl you don't have to worry
I won't make you sorry
Like the other ones do
Take your time there's no need to hurry
Baby believe me
You should never be alone

Listen girl you don't have to worry
I won't make you sorry
Like the other ones do
Take your time there's no need to hurry
Baby believe me
You should never be alone

Baby belive in
You should never be alone
