Something About You
Max Parker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't think I've ever seen your face here
Strangers get too friendly all the time
clways choosing words they sounding so real
But you should know my eyes are open wide
You always got your reasons
Trouble you get your feet in
Something about the way
you talk

The lies they make me dizzy
You know they catch up quickly
Something about the way you talk
We keep dancing together
Better watch my back I know you're gonna bite
We keep dancing together
cnd I know you're used to actin out of spite
Man I hate
Something about you
Something about you
Something about you
Why do we keep dancing together?
Getting hard to understand your motives
You like to try to hurt and start a fight
clways turning black all of the roses
Yeah everything you touch tends to die
You always got your reasons
Trouble you get your feet in
Something about the way you talk
The lies they make me dizzy
You know they catch up quickly
Something about the way you talk
We keep dancing together
Better watch my back I know you're gonna bite
We keep dancing together
cnd I know you're used to actin out of spite
Man I hate
Something about you
Something about you
Something about you
Why do we keep dancing together?
(Ohh, ohhh)

Why do we keep dancing together?
The lies they make me dizzy
