Obsession
M. Pittman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nous allons parler de toi

Je sais seulement sur ta vie

Ne regardez pas vers le côté

Tu m'appartiens

Tu es mon sens de la vie

Tu es si belle

Je vais facturer pour toutes tes promesses

Avec intérêt et inflation

Oh, it hurts my soul

When you have to go

It’s not so easy, baby

And ah, into my mind

I just lose myself

It's time to run away, baby

And I obey you, darling

in my delirious ideas

I distort everything you say

because you’re my ideal

I know I love you

because I hate you

It's an obsession, babe

O o ooh

Tu es si belle

Oh, it hurts my soul

When you have to go

It’s not so easy, baby

And ah, into my mind

I just lose myself

It's time to run away, baby

And I obey you, darling

in my delirious ideas

I distort everything you say

because you’re my ideal

I know I love you

because I hate you

It's an obsession, babe

O o ooh

You overwhelm me and I catch you

You fascinate me

I want only you

You are my creation, and I can’t lose you

Even destroying any possibility of my existence

Don’t be gentle

be my slave

be my slave

be my slave

be my slave

And I obey you, darling

in my delirious ideas

I distort everything you say

because you’re my ideal

I know I love you

because I hate you

It's an obsession, babe

I'm a crazy, crazy

Oh

You overwhelm me and I catch you

It hurts my mind

You fascinate me

I just lost you

I want only you

Into my soul

You are my creation, and I can’t lose you

When you have to go

Even destroying any possibility of my existence

It hurts my mind

I just lost you

Don't be gentle
