Same...
Lo-tel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What she is suggesting
Your protective sister
Loves you and adores you
Everyone around you
Loves you and adores you
Chorus
I think it upsets you
To hear us talking about this stuff
But you don't seem to realise
That it's a competition
We are both competing
But she thinks she deserves you
Chorus
And I'm the same
