Taken
Kalie Shorr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I ain't got eyes for you
It's nothing personal
See there's this guy
He puts the moon in my sky
And had me falling at hello
So nice to meet you,
But I should tell you that
I-I'm off the market
And I-I hit my target
I like the way that sounds and
I want anyone and everyone to know about it
They might think think I'm crazy
Well, I am for my baby
I don't want no one mistaken
No, I-I-I-I I'm taken
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I
Could yell it from the rooftops
That you make my heart stop
Yeah oh-oh-oh
And Imma show you off
Show them all what I got
In case they didn't know
That I-I'm off the market
And I-I hit my target
I like the way that sounds and
I want anyone and everyone to know about it
They might think think I'm crazy
Well, I am for my baby
I don't want no one mistaken
No, I-I-I-I I'm taken
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I
I'm taken
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I
I'm taken
By your eyes
By your smile
When we kiss for a while
I'm taken
By surprise
Everyday
‘Cause you love me this way
I'm taken, yeah
I-I'm off the market
And I-I hit my target
I like the way that sounds and
I want anyone and everyone to know about it
They might think think I'm crazy
Well, I am for my baby
I don't want no one mistaken
No, I-I-I-I I'm taken
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I
I'm taken
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I
I'm taken
