Masquerade
Neyon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking round, seein' you all
Dressed up for this masked ball
Everywhere I'm lookin'
Can't tell no face, it's confusin'
You're makin' me curious
Seducin', so mysterious
I'm wondering who's behind
This fancy Gucci style

When we're alone, you gotta take it off
Take it off
Not when I take it off for you
When we're up close, you gotta take it off
Take it off
Not when I take it off of you
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
I gotta talk with my eyes
Hope that you don't tell me lies
I know you're protective
That's respectful, I luv it
Do you want to see me nude
We'll be careful, we're no fools
We keep playing by the rules
And make lewd love come through
When we're alone, you gotta take it off
Take it off
Not when I take it off for you
When we're up close, you gotta take it off
Take it off
Not when I take it off of you
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
Maskenpflicht
Hey du bist so magisch
You're so tempting, stop stop masquerading
Maskenpflicht
Komm schon, baby küss mich
You're so tempting, stop stop masquerading
Leopard print
Glittered ink
Studded style
Latex like
I'm fighting
To be king
Ready folks
Will get you all
Didn't expect that those phantoms
That they could turn me on
I know they want me too
So let's go baby, come on
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now
Show me who you are
You're too much temptation
Let's stop this masquerading for now

You're so tempting, stop stop masquerading
You're so tempting, stop stop masquerading
