Contract
Mongooz And The Magnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay her down, smell her hair
She is flirty, she ain't playing fair
Looking for trouble, looking for trouble
Lost her sense of reason and her heart at home
Wastin his time, cause can't get by alone
We've been making eyes now for far too long
Looking for trouble, looking for trouble
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, this lonely little princess
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's on contract, but she's open for business...
This lonely little princess and I
(Ohh I)
This lonely little princess and I
This lonely little princess and I
Wears a smile and she keeps it clean,
She tries to hide her bag of insecurities
I bite my lip, I should try to leave
But she's on fire, she's on fire
Something should be hurting but I feel just fine,
Cause she will blame it on me if it's brought to light
And I know I'll see her next week, same place, same time
She's on fire, she's on fire
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, this lonely little princess
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's on contract, but she's open for business
This lonely little princess and I
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, this lonely little princess
She's on contract,
but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's on contract, but she's open for business
This lonely little princess and I
(Ohh I)
(Ooh I)
This lonely little princess and I

Take her to my favourite square
I'm taking her to a place I love
Lay her down, smell her hair
I'm going to be close to her
She is flirty, she ain't playing fair
She's teasing and tempting me
Looking for trouble, looking for trouble
We're both seeking excitement and danger
Lost her sense of reason and her heart at home
She's not thinking clearly and is unhappy
Wastin his time, cause can't get by alone
She's with someone even though she's not happy
We've been making eyes now for far too long
We've been flirting for too much time
She's on contract, but she's open for business, she's open for business
She's with someone but still available for me
This lonely little princess and I
We're both lonely and seeking companionship
Wears a smile and she keeps it clean
She puts on a happy face even though she's unhappy
She tries to hide her bag of insecurities
She has issues she doesn't want anyone to know about
I bite my lip, I should try to leave
I know I shouldn't be with her
But she's on fire, she's on fire
She's exciting and desirable
Something should be hurting but I feel just fine
I should feel bad about this situation, but I don't
Cause she will blame it on me if it's brought to light
She will shift the blame to me if things go wrong
And I know I'll see her next week, same place, same time
We have a routine and will continue it
This lonely little princess and I
We're still lonely and seeking companionship
