Nite Flyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Huh-uh-oh
You′re irresistibly wild
You crave horizons unseen
Your romance keeps you in chains
They're all the same
No one will hold you if you feel confined
But I may ask you to see me sometime
If I wanted your company
Would you drop everything?
Could you come to me?
If I wanted your company
Would you stop anything
Getting in your way-ay-ay?
He-hey
Ooh-huh-oo
You′re unpredictably cool
The world for you has no rules
Won't bend to others desires
Not even mine
It's just so easy having you around
And I will promise not to hold you down
If I wanted your company
Would you drop everything?
Could you come to me?
If I wanted your company
Would you stop anything
Getting in your way?
If I wanted your company
Would you drop everything?
Could you come to me?
If I wanted your company
Would you stop anything
Getting in your way-ay-ay?
Uh-huh
Whoa-aa-huh
It′s just so easy having you around
And I will promise not to hold you down
If I wanted your company
Would you drop everything?
Could you come to me?
If I wanted your company
Would you stop anything
Getting in your way?
If I wanted your company
Would you drop everything?
Could you come to me?
If I wanted your company
Would you stop anything
Getting in your way?
