Serenade
KEB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're around
I feel my worries vanishing
Whenever you're near
Mesmerised by the way you look
Here is your crown
I wish I could be with you
For a thousand years
I can lay on like a pillow
I know you're fucking with
My vibe and with my lingo
You're my type, you tick boxes
Like a round of bingo
The type to have me singing songs
Outside your window
Back rubs, gimme back rubs
I can give you kisses
That will make you act up
A mad drug, love is a mad drug
You're the only woman
That can make my heartthrob
Cupid stopped me dead in my tracks
To tell me about you
And how you are so beautiful
I thought I fell in love in my past
But this feeling I've got for you
I've never felt before
You're my babes till the end of time
You made my world go
From rainy days to clear blue skies
If I had a couple days left to live
I would serenade you till my time is up
If I had a couple days left to live baby
I would serenade you till my time is up
I don't mind what's been going on lately
I go head over heels for this lady
Take control and then take it off safety
Take me proud to call you my baby
This thing that we've got is gaining traction
Till morning we're making love
With flaming passion
Each second I spend with
You shields me from any distractions
I know that we can't get
Enough of sweet action
Back rubs, gimme back rubs
I can give you kisses that will make you act up
A mad drug, love is a mad drug
You're the only woman
That can make my heart throb
Cupid stopped me dead in my tracks
To tell me about you
And how you are so beautiful
I thought I fell in love in my past
But this feeling I've got for you
I've never felt before
You're my babes till the end of time
You made my world go
From rainy days to clear blue skies
If I had a couple days left to live
I would serenade you till my time is up
If I had a couple days left to live baby
I would serenade you till my time is up
You're my babes till the end of time
You made my world go
From rainy days to clear blue skies
If I had a couple days left to live
I would serenade you till my time is up
If I had a couple days left to live baby
I would serenade you till my time is up

In the same hypothetical scenario, addressing you lovingly
I don't mind what's been going on lately

Take control and then take it off safety
Be in charge and remove any obstacles for our intimacy
Take me proud to call you my baby
I want to proudly claim you as my partner
This thing that we've got is gaining traction
Our relationship is progressing and becoming stronger
Till morning we're making love with flaming passion
We engage in passionate lovemaking until dawn
Each second I spend with you shields me from any distractions
Being with you protects me from any interfering influences
I know that we can't get enough of sweet action
We both desire and crave each other's affection and intimacy
