Hairspray
Nodaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she won't regret it 'til Sunday
White dress parade
Address the need for this conversation
Now I know it's Friday
In two days you'll realize her heart break
And I'll make my mistakes
Love needs love
That's why my clothes smell like your hairspray
Love means love
That's why its giving me a headache
Love you so much
That's I'm feeling like a head case
Love needs, love needs
You to just calm down
At nightfall we're not grown up now
But sunrise and somehow
We find a need for this conversation
Now I know it's Friday
In two days you'll realize her heartbreak
And I'll make my mistakes
And you will regret me like always
Love needs love
That's why my clothes smell like your hairspray
Love means love
That's why its giving me a headache
Love you so much
That's I'm feeling like a head case
Love needs, love needs
Love needs love
That's why my clothes smell like your hairspray
Love means love
That's why its giving me a headache
Love you so much
That's I'm feeling like a head case
Love needs, love needs
