Understand
M.A.K Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna play this game
Wrong or right
Calling me
Through the night
I don't wanna take the blame
Every time
Get this shit
Off my mind
I just wanna call your name
I just wanted you to call for me but
I dont think you understand
Cause really you don't understand me
Run around
Chase me down
Leave this town
Let me drown
Hold me down
Why won't you just play with me
Dance with me
Lay with me
Set me free
Let me see
Baby I ask you oh won't you come closer
Tell me that youll always be true
I don't need nothing in this life I do swear
I promise I only need you
I don't wanna play this game
Wrong or right
Calling me
Through the night
I don't wanna take the blame
Every time
Get this shit
Off my mind
I just wanna call your name
I just wanted you to call for me but




I dont think you understand
Cause really you don't understand me
