Old Love
Luke O'Brien Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now me and shorty been down since high school
11th grade when I told you that I liked you
We made good love had some fights too
Nanny keep asking me when I′m gonna wife you
Ooh you too cute girl
Introduce you to Luke's world
And by my senior, anywhere you seen her
Tell by my demeanor that Leen was Luke′s girl

It never lost its flavor
Girl to me it's still the best
And we both still got the tags on
We keeping it so fresh
We've got an old love with a youthful feeling
I′ve got a smooth kiss, girl that you keep stealing
We got an old love but it′s still so childish
It's always something new and we always seem to find it
We got an old love

And some years went by and the passion still there
And you got so many ways that you can fashion your hair
And we always treat each other with compassion and care
Support each other like a mattress or chair

I got your back I got you
There′s nothing we can do
There's a long road ahead but we′ll battle it through
'Cause you a radical chic and I′m a radical dude
And I know I'm kinda sappy but I'm happy with you

It never lost its flavor
Girl to me it′s still the best
And we both still got the tags on
We keeping it so fresh
We′ve got an old love with a youthful feeling
I've got a smooth kiss, girl that you keep stealing
We got an old love but it′s still so childish
It's always something new and we always seem to find it
We got an old love

I got a question for you and I need to know
Can we make this thing official?
Circle yes or no
But not no

We got an old love
We got an old love

We′ve got an old love with a youthful feeling
I've got a smooth kiss, girl that you keep stealing
We got an old love but it′s still so childish




It's always something new and we always seem to find it
We got an old love
