Maddi Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
Here you are
You better choose carefully
I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything

Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
Don't make me, don't make me your enemy
Your enemy, your enemy

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
Down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away

It's in the palm of your hand now baby
Yes or no, no maybe
Just be sure before you give it up to me
It up to me, it up to me

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

No going back

So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm




Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

She's a beast

She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shawty's heart was on steroids
'Cause her love was so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She swears by it but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma
Woo! Damn I think I love her
Shawty so bad
I'm sprung and I don't care
She got me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil' mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
So you wanna play with magic
Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A perfect storm, a perfect storm
'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back

She took a fully accompanied pop song and turned it into a stripped-down hauntingly dark love song... phenomenal!!😊👍
