Wat Een Nacht
Nick & Simon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ik val echt niemand lastig, ik doe mijn ding
Word ik plotseling enorm kwaad
Wat sta jij nou naar mij te kijken, ellendeling?
En dan knapt er weer iets in dat hoofd van mij
En beuk ik er weer op los
Wat is er mis met een lekkere doodsbedreiging?
Kijk strak voor me uit als ik oversteek
Dit is een zebra gast! Ik sta in mijn recht
Moet jij op de rem, druk jij op je toeter
Dan moet je heel erg gaan uitkijken wat of je zegt...
Dus praat je hardop? En heb je een mening?
En ben je 't een héél klein beetje niet met me eens?
