MANWOLVES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We need some quality time
You and me girl, we gon' be alright
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
Shawty perfect like some roses
Could say it but she already knows its true
We need some quality time
You and me girl, we gon' be alright
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
Shawty perfect like some roses
Could say it but she already knows its true
We stay just north but I went to the city often
Problematic with my habits {?} would lay me in a coffin
Dangerous as Dangerous really could be
With all my problems you still love me
I would give you the world and all its riches
Just dont turn me into some ashes
You have seen my shadows,
You have eased my pain,
I don't live for moments,
But a smile on your face,
I have drowned in toxins
But you remain the same, perfect in every way
Dammit I just said it but I'm in it for a minute
Rushin' home, speed racing
And I'm looking like Bennet
Aw Man
I'm a road runner
Do the dash, do the dash, I'm a road runner
Hol' Up
We need some quality time
You and me girl, we gon' be alright
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
Shawty perfect like some roses
Could say it but she already knows its true
Hol' Up
We need some quality time
You and me girl, we gon' be alright
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
You and me girl we gon' be just fine
Shawty perfect like some roses
Could say it but she already knows its true
Backing Back and forth
Do some more
Or Maybe just the most to celebrate you
Come on lets have a toast
For You
Aw Baby, just for you
Sorry bout' before I didn't want you being blue
I will hold you close
Give you a tender touch
I will clench my fists
Fight for whatever you want
You're the sharpest tool and the only one I want
Baby, I need you to stay
Sweet as honey
Going Grizzly for my girl
Rest your hair on me but my heart is really rare {?}
Can't you tell?
Can't you tell?
(End)
The song "Roses" by MANWOLVES speaks about the need for quality time between two lovers. The singer insists that they need to spend some quality time together, and they will be just fine. The female partner is referred to as perfect as roses. The mixture of a smooth beat and the lyrics creates a lovely vibe for the listener.
The verse talks about the artist's city life, which was not that healthy with problematic habits. However, even with his flaws, the lover still loved him. The singer expresses his readiness to give his lover the world and all it has to offer. However, he pleads with the lover not to turn him into some ashes. Despite his flaws, the lover has seen his shadows, which were part of his pain. He indicates that he does not live for moments, but the lover's smile on her face. Although he has drowned in toxins, the lover has remained perfect in every way.
The chorus repeats the need for quality time, and the singer still emphasizes the partner's perfection, like roses. The song ends with the artist telling the lover to rest her hair on him as his love will always be there for her.

MY NEW FAVORITE SONG
@supremogeno6169
I know this song is old and probably won't get much attention. But I love this song. I love what it means and stands for. I relate to these lyrics so much. It makes me feel so hopeful for who I am and for who I love with my whole heart. It's such a beautiful message in such an upbeat way. Thank you for making this song so much. No one is perfect. But when you find the one for you they are just perfect. They make you feel like your faults are not as bad as you think. Even if you are at your worst they still are perfect to you. It's just so beautiful to hear that even if you're hurting. You can love someone so much and that they can feel the same and that all you gotta do is wait because, "you and me gonna be just fine."
