Loverboy
MIKA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Isn't it enough, isn't it enough
Just to be wild and free?
Caught up in the rough, caught up in the rush of life
Staring at me.
You think you're in love boy,
but you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love girl,
but honey let me show you where your heart is

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy,
I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Isn't it enough, isn't it enough
just to be sunny and dumb?
Aren't you tired of hookin' up, sick of breaking up?
Oh you fool, you did it for fun
You think you're in love girl,
but you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love boy,
but honey let me show you where your heart is

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy, I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy,
I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Loverboy, is just illusion to me
You could take any boy,
I'd show you what you would feel
Pretty boy with a nasty trace
Funny boy with an ugly face





Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Isn't it enough
Isn't it enough just to be wild and free?
Caught up in the rough
Caught up in the rush of life, staring at me
You think you're in love, boy
But you don't even know what love is
You think you're in love, girl
But honey, let me show you where your heart is

Lover boy
It's just illusion to me
You could take any boy
I'd show you what you would feel
A pretty boy with a nasty trait
A funny boy with an ugly face
Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Love is just a cautionary, momentary, reactionary lie

Isn't it enough
Isn't it enough just to be sunny and dumb?
Aren't you tired of hooking up,
Sick of breaking up
Oh, you fool
You've did it for fun
You think you're in love, girl
But you don't really know what love is
You think you're in love, boy
But honey, let me show you where your heart is

Lover boy
It's just illusion to me
You could take any boy
I'd show you what you would feel
A pretty boy with a nasty trace
A funny boy with an ugly face

A pretty boy with a nasty trait
A funny boy with an ugly face
