Mr. President Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your scent is in the air
I've been trying to grasp it
That we've gone our separate ways
I'm standing at the window
Searching for mistakes
Why you have left me?
Things will happen
To describe my conditions
To recognize my mess
I promise you to change it
My morbid jealousy
Give me one more chance
I want to be close to you, baby
I want to be near to you tonight
I want to be next to you, baby
I want to be close to you tonight
If I have one more chance
To prove my love to you
I will do it right this time
Together we'll make it through
Don't do the silly things
Don't make the same mistakes
That I made years ago
You said that you need me but you used to use me
So now your time is up you're cryin' how you miss me
I remember the time when you used to be my cutey
Every single head turn 'cause girl you were my beauty
I would do everything to keep my baby from harm
I would cuddle up at night and keep little toes warm
You said my love was too strong and get it on
