Made You Move
Lykke Li Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the man you are.
You made me move, you me move.
Run just to fall.
If I'm not a woman, I'm not a woman
I'm just a ray of light.
Fall fast so steep, low.
You made me move.
I made you mine, I made you mine
Beside myself you're mine
You made me change from the weak
Made me lose my chain.
No longer woman, I'm not a woman
I'm just a ray of light.
Fall fast so steep, low
You made me move.
