Alloway Grove
Nutini Paolo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coming home again
To see a girl that's prettier than a diamond in the sun
Oh what fun!
I wonder if she's been naked in her room since I've been gone
I wonder if she said to them as she said to me before

However much you use me baby, come on use me more
However much you use me baby, come on use me more

Getting off the train
To see a girl that's sweeter than an apple picked from Adam's tree
Oh glory be!
And I wonder if she's been pressed against an unfamiliar wall
And said to all those men as she has said to me before

However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
However much you want me, I swear I'll make you want me more
And more and more and more

Arriving at the door
Just to be told that the girl I'm missing has been in London for a while
No more northern skies for her
They say she's left a letter up the stairs for everyone
It's pinned against her bedroom door for all the world to see and she says

However much I love you, you will always love me more
However much I love you, you will always love me more
And I guess I's true
However much she loves me I will always love her more

I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more




I'll love you more and more, I'll love you more
I'll love you more and more, and more and more
