I Adore You
LMS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought I knew
I didn't know I could tell you
I could've told you
I adore you
I adore you
I should've told you

You said farewell, but
I didn't know I could hold you
I could've warned you
I adore you
I adore you
I'd wish I told you

Back in the summer
Back in the water
You touched my hair
You said you liked it
I know you liked it
I know it well
I know you well

And in the cool bar
While we were dancing
You grabbed my waist
I know you liked it
You said you liked it
And oh, well
I know you well

Here we go
Through it
Take a good hard look at it
Oh, to be a part of it
One day you will see
My love
You belong to me





I adore you
I adore you
