Lo And Behold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinks on rotation, you're a club patron
Well it was love in an instant
But you got a flight home in the morning
So after tonight, I'm gonna love you from a distance
From a distance
Love you from a distance
Ben Franklyn
You're on vacation in another nation
Drinks on rotation, you're a club patron
Well it was love in an instant
But you got a flight home in the morning
So after tonight, I'm gonna love you from a distance
From a distance
Love you from a distance
Futher your education in another nation
Remember yo hips on rotation when you feel this devil d*ck like satan
Well it was love in an instant
So you know it hurts reminiscing
Where ever you are, I hope you love me from a distance
From a distance
Love me from a distance
Fugitive on the loose
Five five and super cute
Solution is getting loose
Solution is getting you
Dress so scandalous
I hope you can handle some
Dark tall and handsome
Baby I know you want some
