Mercury
Naye Ayla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ready I am
Ready
Ready or not I'm ready
Ready or not I'm ready
I am ready, I am ready, come on over and get me
What did you doβ€…whenβ€…I wanted youβ€…badly?
Liquid mercury how won't you affectβ€…me
I am ready, I am ready, come on over and get me
What did you do when I wanted you badly
Liquid mercury how won't you affect me
I am ready

Been here a lot, the mind is a monster
Look how it holds you back
So I hope you reply me, I know its risky
We did this way, way back
So I hope you're comfortable with getting to know one other again
I mean what's the harm in happy
No need for apprehension just begin
Call the uber back I've lost my brain
I left it somewhere with my heart, a man with a name
He moves with the wind though he means to stay
Maybe time will make them ready

I am ready, come on over and get me
What would did you do when I wanted you badly?
What would you do if I wanted you badly?
Are you ready

I'm a woman, (I'm a woman)
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman,
I'm a woman
I'm a woman

I wanna be touched and wined and dined in lavender
I wanna feel colours stars are my design that's my departure
I'm a woman, I'm a woman not your fan
I'm a woman so I choose to understand
You need a woman
To put some butter on your hands
To make you understand forgiveness is the premise and a feeling
A woman who can take a stand
A woman who can make you feel that you're a man
You need a woman to give the clear so you can land
With the bags, a woman with the bags

I'm a woman,
I'm a woman
I'm a woman,
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman
I'm a woman




I'm a woman
I'm a woman
