BOOMERANG
Nabiha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter where I go, I'm returning
My love is like a boomerang
Fly around the world and back to you again
Fly across the world and back to you again
My love is like a spinning wheel
I'm racing like a mad man down the hill
Gotta get you, that's what I feel
Gotta get you, that's what I feel
I'm racing like a mad man down the hill
I have crossed continents and oceans
I've been far, far, far away
Now that I'm back, you see there was no need to worry
So when I leave again, remember this day because
My love is like a boomerang
No matter where I go, I'm returning
My love is like a boomerang
Fly around the world and back to you again
Fly across the world and back to you again
My love is like a spinning wheel
I'm racing like a mad man down the hill
My love is like a spinning wheel
Gotta get you, that's what I feel
Gotta get you, that's what I feel
I'm racing like a mad man down the hill
So many dreams and aspirations
I work hard, hard, hard to be
I'll take my chances where they fall, go where I need to go
Yes I'll pay my dues 'cause nothing's for free
And did I have a good time?
(Hell yeah)
But did you ever leave my mind?
(No way)
You know no one does it better when I do what I do
But as soon as I am done I'm coming back to you, because
My love is like a boomerang
No matter where I go, I'm returning
My love is like a boomerang
Fly around the world and back to you again
Fly across the world and back to you again
My love is like a freight terain
Don't even think of getting in my way
No man can keep me from the arms of my baby
I put my arms around my baby
I could be close, I could be far
But I'm always in orbit around your heart
Surrounded by stars and beautiful men
But you're the only one and so I say it again
And if you didn't hear me then I'll say it again
And if you didn't hear me then I'll say it again because
My love is like a boomerang
No matter where I go, I'm returning
My love is like a boomerang
Fly around the world and back to you again
Fly across the world and back to you again
'Cause you're the one that I want, and that's the end
