Make Me
L.E.O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make me!
Go ahead and make me!
You're never gonna f-f-f-f-forsake me
Why don't you make me

Step into the light?
Say goodbye tonight?
There'll always be another day to walk in the sun
Sometimes everyone
Has their hand on a gun
Another day-- another dollar
Who will lead and who will follow?

Beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
Beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
Beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse to death...

Make me!
Go ahead and make me!
You're never gonna f-f-f-f-forsake me
Why don't you make me

Step into the light?
Say goodbye tonight?

There'll always be another chance to do it again
From the fire back into the pan
From your pocket back into your hand
Another day-- another penny
Who'd have thought we'd have so many?

Beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
Beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse
Beating a dead horse, beating a dead horse to death...

Make me!




Go ahead and make me!
You're never gonna... (repeat to fade)
