So
Oppera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So
You want to play it slow
You're screwin up my flow
And everyday you bring me down
So
You think that I don't know
You're plannin to change the show
Push that button just right and bounce

I am always ready if you want to fight
I can play it heavy till you see the light
I've been watching you since you showed up last night
And now I got your number If you want to try

You don't want to mess with me
Don't want to take you down
No to be or not to be
Just run you out of town
No showdown on the street
Oh you best retreat

So
You you know you need to go
I'm showin you the door
And I don't want to hear a sound
There's no need to make up something nice to say
Point of view don't matter
Don't do things that way
Smiling in my face then
Then you try to lie
You're lucky all you get is..
A handshake and goodbye

You don't want to mess with me
Don't want to take you down
No to be or not to be
I'll just run you out of town
You better fix your feet
Oh you better retreat
Don't make me show my teeth
Or you'll feel the heat

A single song and dance
Oh someone take a chance
And I have to make a stand
Oh I take that out of hands

You don't want to mess with me
Don't want to take you down
No to be or not to be
I'll just run you out of town
You don't want to go round and round
Cause you'll be nothing when I'm done
I can take you in my sleep
Oh I do this just for fun

You don't want to mess with me
Don't want to take you down




No to be or not to be
I'll just run you out of town.
