Ola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thrill of me chasing her
And I just gotta, gotta, just gotta
Just gotta, gotta have her
She's not like the others
There's something about this girl
And I just, gotta, gotta, just gotta
Making her way through my system
She's become my addiction
And I can't get, can't get enough of her loving
No, cause when she's gone I'll be wishing
I could see her again
And it's out of my hands
She's my addiction
She's my addiction
She's my addiction
She's my addiction
She's got me all worked up
Just thinking bout her loving
And I just, gotta, gotta, just gotta
Just gotta, gotta have her
Whatever it takes and
Whatever she needs I get
Cause I just, gotta, gotta, just gotta
Just gotta, gotta have her
Making her way through my system
She's become my addiction
And I can't get, can't get enough of her loving
No, cause when she's gone I'll be wishing
I could see her again
And it's out of my hands
She's my addiction
She's my addiction
She's my addiction
She's my addiction
I'm on my permanent vacation
When she's by my side
Only a dose of what she got
Can keep me satisfied
I need her morning, noon
Night just to level out
No exceptions
She's my addiction
I'm on my permanent vacation
When she's by my side
Only a dose of what she got
Can keep me satisfied
