Lock All The Doors
MDO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I came alone
I wish that you'd done the same
I saw you kiss him goodnight
When you looked at me
You had that look in your eye
(Ay Amor)
You want it
Taste the danger
You've got that look in your eye
(Ay Amor)
You need it
Can't control it
Just remember
Who as the first in your life
[Chorus:]
Lock all the doors and throw out the key
He'll never know that you're here with me
So come on girl there's no time to waste
Taste it again in our secret place
You say that he treats you right
That he cares for you
I lost my chance yesterday
Stop playing, don't' try to hide
'Cause I turn you on
You've got that look in your eye
(Ay Amor)
You want it
Like I want it
Taste the danger
I know you're burning inside
You need it
Can't control it
Just remember
[Chorus:]
Who was the ride of your life
Alone again
No one's around
Let me love you so
No one has to know
Let me show you I'll drive you crazy until the end

They said you'd be here tonight
It was rumored that you would be present tonight
So I came alone
Therefore, I arrived unaccompanied
I wish that you'd done the same
I would have preferred if you came alone as well
I saw you kiss him goodnight
I witnessed you kissing someone before you left
When you looked at me
During that same moment, you glanced in my direction
You had that look in your eye (Ay Amor)
A certain expression was present in your gaze (Oh love)
You want it
Like I want it
Taste the danger
You crave what I also desire, the thrill of danger
You've got that look in your eye (Ay Amor)
That same expression is still present now (Oh love)
You need it
Can't control it
You have an insatiable need and no power over your desires
Just remember
Who as the first in your life
But recall my importance and who was there before anyone else
Lock all the doors and throw out the key
He'll never know that you're here with me
So come on girl there's no time to waste
Taste it again in our secret place
Let's lock all the doors and dispose of the key, so he won't find out you're with me. We shouldn't waste any more time, so let's experience it again, in our secret location.
You say that he treats you right
That he cares for you
I lost my chance yesterday
You declare that he treats you well and has shown you affection, while I had missed my opportunity prior to now
Stop playing, don't' try to hide
'Cause I turn you on
You've got that look in your eye (Ay Amor)
Stop pretending and trying to conceal it, because I am aware that you are aroused and the expression is still present (Oh love)
You want it
Like I want it
Taste the danger
You crave it and desire it, just as much as I do
I know you're burning inside
You need it
Can't control it
Just remember
I understand that you yearn for it and have no control over your craving, but don't forget our past
Who was the ride of your life
Who has given you the most memorable experience you've ever had
Alone again
No one's around
Let me love you so
No one has to know
Let me show you I'll drive you crazy until the end
Once more, we are in solitude, and no one else is present. Allow me to love and pleasure you, as no one else has to know. I promise to leave you in a state of euphoria until the end of our time.
