Marika Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that you probably
know a lot of fine girls
I know that we've known each other
only since few days
I know that you're busy bwoy
and girls take a lot of time, right
i know that you're b-boy
keep your b-boy life

Cause you can be sure of me
cause I've made my choice
You can be sure of me
I'm not looking for fast love

I know that you're b-boy
keep your b-boy life
I'm not gonna make you change
your hardcore style
somehow we're similar
Cause music rules our lives, right
And that's why I see a possibility to get closer
So i say

Any any anyway
I'm not going anywhere
I just wanna make it clear
I've maid my choice
Any any anyway
I'm not going anywhere

I just wanna make it clear
I love you rude bwoy

Ta piosenka nie ma zbyt wielu wyświetleń, nie wiem czemu, bo ja ją kocham. Wróciłam do niej po kilku latach. Tylko przy niej można poczuć taki chill ☺️
