Bless Up
Koryn Hawthorne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me, where do I begin? You were like my favourite friend
I'm singing ever since the first date, I never wanted this to end
This was love at first sight, yeah, love at first sight
When everything was going wrong you made it alright

You told me I'm better, better than I knew
Now, you helped me to own things, own things and you
Tell me where do I begin? You were like my favourite friend
Love so incredible, never want it to end

Oh, how I love ya, let's stay together
I wanna bless up, I'm talking 'bout bless up
I wanna know ya, know ya better
Come on and bless up, I'm talking 'bout bless up
Wanna tell everybody, gotta tell everybody
That you are the greatest and ya can't be replaced
Oh, how I love ya, let's stay together
I wanna bless up, come on, let's bless up

The question is will I leave ya?
The answer is 'oh no'
Just ask my friends, they know
When it comes to you I'm sold
When you leave me I'm a follower
When you leave me I'm a follower
Not talking 'bout pics on the gram
But when you leave me I'm a follower

Anywhere you go, I don't really care
'Cause anywhere you're not, I don't wanna be there
The question is will I leave? The answer is 'oh no'
I feel this love in my soul and I just wanna let the world know

Let the world know that I love ya, let's stay together
I wanna bless up, I'm talking 'bout bless up
I wanna know ya, know ya better
Come on and bless up, I'm talking 'bout bless up
Wanna tell everybody, gotta tell everybody
That you are the greatest and ya can't be replaced
Oh, how I love ya, let's stay together
I wanna bless up, come on, let's bless up, bless up

I can't hide, can't hide that I like ya
No one like, no one like, no one like ya
And you make me come alive
And I feel like I can fly
Got me so far, that's a fact
And I'm never going back

Oh, how I love ya, let's stay together
I wanna bless up, I'm talking 'bout bless up
I wanna know ya, know ya better
Come on and bless up, I'm talking 'bout bless up
Wanna tell everybody, gotta tell everybody
That you are the greatest and ya can't be replaced




Oh, how I love ya, let's stay together
I wanna bless up, come on, let's bless up
