The Catch
Kraków Street Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
not too good with poetry, I just got a thing for romance
the way you look at me leaves my heart meltin' away
twenty dozen soldiers couldn't block me on my way!
You look so good, there's gotta be a catch
Ain't no way we could ever be a match
You're swirling like a sailboat, and I'm acting like a fool
I take my cigarrete break just to get a chance to talk
It's way too busy here, we gotta sneak out for a walk
And now we're out debating about the diamonds in the sky
I ain't got too much time, but I know I gotta try
You look so good, there's gotta be a catch
Ain't no way we could ever be a match
You're swirling like a sailboat, and I'm acting like a fool
I'm losing my senses, but I'm keeping my cool
This man is lookin' for ya and time is rushing me
The way you smile at me, I think you like my company
I'm jotting down your number and you kiss me on the cheek
But I know there is someone trying to stop my lucky streak!
You look so good, there's gotta be a catch
Ain't no way we could ever be a match
You're swirling like a sailboat, and I'm acting like a fool
I'm losing my senses, but I'm keeping my cool
