Like Water
K-Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm never gonna make it without you,
I'm never gonna make it without you,
I'm never gonna make it without you
Until I meet you, until I meet you.

I need, I need, I need, I need,
I need you like water.
And I don't even, I don't even know your name.
You, you, you, you look like heaven,
Reason why I'm trying to be a better man.

All I'm saying is I want to, to know you,
All I'm saying is I want to, to know you,
All I'm saying is I want to, to know you,
All I'm saying is I want to, to know you.

I'm losing all control,
I really wanna know
All there is to really know,
Everything about you.

Like how do you get on the floor,
Like how you make that booty roll,
Like how you look so beautiful,
Like how the men like it with you.

I'm never gonna make it without you,
I'm never gonna make it without you,
I'm never gonna make it without you
Until I meet you, until I meet you,
Until I meet you, until I meet you,
Until I, until I, until I meet you.

Where you, where you,
Where you've been in all my life?
Baby, tell me where you've been all my life.
The way you're looking in that dress tonight
Looking like you're gonna make a good wife.

All I'm saying is I want to, to know you,
All I'm saying is I want to, to know you,
All I'm saying is I want to, to know you,
All I'm saying is I want to, to know you.

Make you say ah, yeah
Make you feel it all night,
Dance with me all night, all night, all night.

I'm never gonna make it without you,
I'm never gonna make it without you,




I'm never gonna make it without you,
Until I meet you, until I meet you.
