Make No Mistake
Keith Richards and The Expensive Winos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things ain't what they seem
I'm gonna scream and shout it
This is just a dream
A simple conversation
Every now and then
A touchy situation
What shall I do, if I should see you
And have to pretend that we have never met
Its not a cheap sensation
When you touch me with your hand
A little complication
Can hypnotize a man
How we gonna hide it
This thing with you and me yeah
Everyone can tell by now
I just can't lie you see
What shall I say to hide it, to hide it baby
No words can convey your lips melting into mine
No mistake, no mistake
Make no mistake, make no mistake about it
Make no mistake, c'mon make no mistake, make no mistake about it
I'm gonna make you mine, no need to talk it over, we're
running out of time
I've made up my mind about you
I know in my heart that you have the same point of view
Make no mistake, this is it
Make no mistake, make no mistake
It's not we don't have the time
Make no mistake
Not in the right place
make no mistake, make no mistake
Ooh come on baby, make no mistake
No mistake
I'm talking to ya baby
Make no mistake
