Tangerine
Mosie feat. Bambi & Les Lapins Lundis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard you sneeze and had to backtrack
Said please and got your Snap
Jacked the keys and crashed the hatchback
Napsack queen hit me one, two...
Blackjack cream gimme fun food
Slap happy dream shimmy on cue
Fast track the beam with the sun with the moon
But lava don't flow like Tanqueray
Mama won't know 'til she pass away
Holla when you blow your planned escape
On your cobblestone vogue and your beaujolais
Mononoke just wait for me
Loco no se if you're straight and sweet
Quel beau soleil say it shamefully
I don't waste the day, I'm what you came to see
(Summertime is closing in)
Find your love and your money
(I wonder why you're posing in the wind)
Do your part now honey
(Undefined and spoken with a grin)
Lick your lips start running
(Bump and grind and choke him from within)
From the heart now sonny
(Summertime is closing in)
Find your love and your money
(I wonder why you're posing in the wind)
Do your part now honey
(Undefined and spoken with a grin)
Lick your lips start running
(Bump and grind and choke him from within)
From the heart now sonny
I know it's warm but try to cop a breeze
I know you're worn but try to lock your knees
I know you're sworn but try to knock the tease
I know you're torn but try to talk to me
Ah stop now look at those tangerines
Watch now look at 'em glance and gleam
Be sneaky now sugar don't go too close
Nice and easy now throw your pose
She got no distractions and no back pockets
But I got no reactions and no black sockets
She said no transaction baby catwalk it
Told him no attraction makes for backtalk shit
(Summertime is closing in)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Summertime is closing in)
Don't fight the love baby
Don't fight the feelin'
Don't fight the sun baby
Don't fight the healin'
(Summertime is closing in)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the love)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the sun)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the love)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the sun)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the love)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the sun)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the love)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')
(Don't you fight the sun)
(Summertime is closing in)
(Don't you fight the feelin')

Line by Line Meaning
Found you squeezed in my backpack
I discovered you crammed inside my bag
I heard you sneeze and had to backtrack
Your sneeze caught my attention and I had to trace my steps
Said please and got your Snap
I asked politely and received your Snapchat username
Jacked the keys and crashed the hatchback
I stole and drove the car recklessly
Napsack queen hit me one, two...
A woman with a backpack hit me twice
Blackjack cream gimme fun food
Delicious food is like a winning blackjack hand
Slap happy dream shimmy on cue
Dance and be happy when prompted
Fast track the beam with the sun with the moon
Move quickly and smoothly with the changing times
But lava don't flow like Tanqueray
Lava and alcohol have different properties
Mama won't know 'til she pass away
My mother won't find out until she dies
Holla when you blow your planned escape
Call my name when you execute your escape plan
On your cobblestone vogue and your beaujolais
Walking stylishly on a bumpy path with wine
Mononoke just wait for me
A reference to a movie, asking someone to be patient
Loco no se if you're straight and sweet
I don't know if you're honest and kind
Quel beau soleil say it shamefully
What a beautiful sun, but said with guilt
I don't waste the day, I'm what you came to see
I don't waste time, I am the highlight of your day
Find your love and your money
Search for both love and wealth
Do your part now honey
Contribute to the situation, my dear
Lick your lips start running
Prepare yourself to make a move
Bump and grind and choke him from within
Dance sensually and seduce him
I know it's warm but try to cop a breeze
It's hot, but try to catch some cool air
I know you're worn but try to lock your knees
You're tired, but try to keep your legs steady
I know you're sworn but try to knock the tease
You're committed, but try to resist the temptation
I know you're torn but try to talk to me
You're conflicted, but try to communicate with me
Ah stop now look at those tangerines
Pause and admire those orange fruits
Watch now look at 'em glance and gleam
Observe as they shine and glisten
Be sneaky now sugar don't go too close
Approach quietly, don't get too near
Nice and easy now throw your pose
Strike a pose calmly and smoothly
She got no distractions and no back pockets
She has nothing to hide and no distractions
But I got no reactions and no black sockets
I am not responding and I have no dark circles around my eyes
She said no transaction baby catwalk it
She doesn't want anything in return, just strut your stuff
Told him no attraction makes for backtalk shit
Said that lack of attraction leads to unpleasant conversation
Don't fight the love baby
Don't resist the feeling of love
Don't fight the feelin'
Don't resist the emotions
Don't fight the sun baby
Don't try to avoid the warmth and light
Don't fight the healin'
Don't resist the process of healing
