Sensitive
O-Town Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl I know there's something wrong
Something strange is goin' on
And no matter what I do
It's like a wall I can't get through

Girl I need to understand, but you won't give me answers
How can I help you if you don't want me to
I never hear you laugh I never see you cry
Never heard you say you need a love like mine
See I'm givin' you everything that's inside
But ya need to fill me up
Cause you're not playing with a flame girl you won't get burnt
You know that's not the kinda thing that I do
I guess I need to get what I give
What can I say, I'm sensitive

Sensitive ? Who says a man's not supposed to be
Sensitive ? I'm keepin' the faith that you still love me
Sensitive ? Oh, baby I'm not ashamed to be
Sensitive ? Oh

Ain't nobody out to control
You or what you stand for
Baby girl I really need to
Do or don't you want this love
Won't you help me understand, won't you give me answers
How can I help you if you don't want me to

Sensitive ? Who says a man's not supposed to be
Sensitive ? I'm keepin' the faith that you still love me
Sensitive ? Oh, baby I'm not ashamed to be
Sensitive ? Oh





Baby I love you but it's time to let you go
I don't know where we are, girl, and you won't let me know
