Moko Chase & Status Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no telling what you do to me
We get it all up
We got it all wrong
Now everywhere I go I know I'll see
That everyone's dust, and everywhere's done

Now everybody knows what we've been through
And you know I wanna be with you

Everybody knows what we've been through
I take it all in, I let it all out

Baby when you look into my eyes I know
You got it like that, you got it like that
Baby when you look into my eyes I know
You got it like that, you got it like that

I keep pushing on that upper side
To say what I need
And make you believe, oh oh
It's a question of a weave my pride
If only you'll see, but live and let breathe, oh

Now everybody knows what we've been through
And you know I wanna be with you
Everybody knows what we've been through
I take it all in, I let it all out

Baby when you look into my eyes I know
You got it like that, you got it like that
Baby when you look into my eyes I know
You got it like that, you got it like that

I have been a fool to lift my head above the ground
I've been a fool to be mislead and messed around
I've been a fool to let you leave, I'm grateful too
I've been a fool to misbelief

Now everybody knows what we've been through
And you know I wanna be with you
Everybody knows what we've been through
I take it all in, I let it all out

Baby when you look into my eyes I know
You look into my eyes I know
You got it like that, you got it like that
Baby when you look into my eyes I know

You look into my eyes I know
You got it like that, you got it like that
