Wildcard
Maygen Lacey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She can make a mean man care
And he wouldn’t even realize
She can light you up just like a sunrise
Doesn’t seem to need a lover
But you can’t blame 'em all for tryin'
Ooo hoo, and you’re breathless
But you try your best not to show itOoo hoo, and you're helpless
She's gonna take you down and you know it
You’re a wildcard
But that girl, that girl’s your tell
You’ve got a cold heart
She’s slowly makin' it melt
You tell yourself over, over and over again
You'll never let yourself be open just to be broken
Your last love took your all and your heart’s on the mend
Oh it hurts when you fall but this girl is different
She’s got somethin'
Ooo hoo, and you’re breathless
But you know that you can’t control it
Ooo hoo, and you're helpless
She's gonna take you down and you know it
You’re a wildcard
But that girl, that girl’s your tell
You’ve got a cold heart
But she’s slowly makin' it melt
Ah honey, ah honey, you’re a wildcard
But that girl, that girl’s your tell
You’ve got a cold heart
She’s slowly makin' it melt
Ooo hoo, Ooo hoo
