Even Though
Norah Jones(諾拉瓊絲) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was so slow, the way he put his arms around me.
Even though I'm feeling lonely,
I'm, I'm feeling lonely.
Don't understand the words he said,
Made me do wrong.
But now there's nothing that's in my head
I wish he'd leave me
'Cause I know, trouble will follow
But I have to go
I have to go
'Cause I know, trouble will follow
But I have to go
But I have to go
He makes me think that I don't know me
So I'll show him what I remember all the things he showed me
And I want more,
I'm feeling lonely
Oh, I'm feeling lonely
