Why Not Us
Monrose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we first met you said it's complicated take it slow
Deeper then water goes the more you wanna dip your toe
I couldn't get enough I wanted you right there and then
Ignoring all the signs I thought that you and I were cool
Said I was beautiful you put me on a pedestal
I would do anything to get back to those days again

Don't know what's wrong
Want to stay
In your arms

If two people can have it all
Live the dream and break the rules
Tell me, why not us?
If to people can fall in love
Destiny should be enough
So tell me, why not us?

If this ain't right what are we fighting for?
Like two worlds at war
What the heart beats for is love
Turns anything to dust, oh

We're out for dinner and I notice you don't look my way
Remember when you used to hang on every word I say
And compliment me on a dress I would choose to wear

Don't know what's wrong
Want to stay
In your arms

If two people can have it all
Live the dream and break the rules
Tell me, why not us?
If to people can fall in love
Destiny should be enough
So tell me, why not us?

If two people can have it all
Live the dream and break the rules
Tell me, why not us?
If to people can fall in love




Destiny should be enough
So tell me, why not us?

Monrose hatten so viel internationales Potential, eine Schande dass deren Label nicht genug für sie getan hat

Andrea Joanna Lynn

@Samiqu danke 🙏🏻 es ist ja nicht schlimm wenn man jemanden nicht mag etc. aber man hat halt damit leben müssen das sie in der Band ist 😅 zudem kann man mögen wen man will. Ich fand alle drei optisch total cute😅 und sie haben gute Musik geliefert & das ist doch im Endefekt das wichtigste 🥰

Samiqu

@Andrea Joanna Lynn Sehe ich ähnlich. Ich war auch nie ein Fan von Sennas Persönlichkeit (oder was man von dieser zu sehen bekam), aber stimmlich fand ich sie einigermaßen okay.
Schade, dass sich Senna und Mandy so zerstritten haben.

Mas

get a life. Gott bist du peinlich.

Andrea Joanna Lynn

@Mas und außerdem hatte Detlef D! Soost es sogar selbst gesagt. Aber ja, ich lüge 🤣

Andrea Joanna Lynn

all three girls have good voices, and their songs were amazing, I still listen to it, it's a pity that they broke up. They could put out many more hits
