Hotel
Montell Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a slave to her, slave to her love
I'm a slave to her, slave to her love
I'm a slave to her, slave to her love
I'm a slave to your love, it's who you are that I-

When I met you in that hotel room
I could tell that you were so bad news
But I keep messin' with ya, messin' with ya
And now you're messin' with me, messin' with me

I keep goin' back to this hotel room
I just don't know what the hell to just tell you
But I love messin' with ya, messin' with you
Girl, are you messin' with me, messin' with me?

This hotel room
You put me in, my love
Ohh, I, I love you
You know me, girl
Better than I know myself, my love
Hotel hell
Ooh, you

When I met you in that hotel room
I could tell that you were so bad news
But I keep messin' with ya, messin' with ya
And now you're messin' with me, messin' with me

I keep goin' back to this hotel room
I just don't know what the hell to just tell you




But I love messin' with ya, messin' with you
Girl, are you messin' with me, messin' with me?

to me, this song, represents spiritual warfare, our sin struggles. how many of us keep running back to that hotel room, knowing it’s no good for us? we keep going back for the feeling.

@Torrancee

@elio4910
