Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, woah, wo wo

Taxi ride, going downtown
Me an my girls, going out
Counting down, to detination
Ten to zero, mushrom cloud
Little angel, I've been too good
Ditch the halo, for a while

Dress to kill, I'll be causing
Mass destruction, so shield your eyes

I'm all steamed up and I'm ready to blow
The pressure mounts need a red overload
To get release
I gotta explode, explode...

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on ,there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man
I'm a bomb yeah bomb bomb bomb bom bom I'm a bomb*2

Bass so loud I can't hear you
Can't diffuse me now I'm wired?
Do not disturb while I'm dancing
Watch me set this house on fire

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on ,there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on ,there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

Club Crescendo getting loud
Run for cover underground
What you doing showing me no fear
You must be crazy hanging round here

I'm all steamed up and I'm ready to blow
The pressure mounts need a red overload
Need to get release
I'm gonna explode, explode

I'm a bomb, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on, there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

I'm a bomb, yeah yeah yeah, can you hear me tick
Beware if you turn me on, there is no safety switch
I'm a bomb, use only steady hands
To mess with me you must be a brave man

I'm a bomb
I'm a bomb

I'm a bomb
I'm a bomb

The song's climax comes when she reaches a moment of release, exploding like a bomb and causing mass destruction. The lyrics ultimately embody a spirit of liberation, encouraging listeners to let go and enjoy life to the fullest.
