PARADIS Vanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With some other girl, yeah
Always thought that I was the only one in your world
Baby can you tell me so
Out of sight of of mind ain't what love ought to be, yeah
And I hoped all the time that you'd be faithful to me
You'd be faithful to me
When you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
I just want to be sure
That forever and more
You would be my baby
Love is just like a flower baby it has to grow, yeah
And when you are away I'm even loving you more
I just have to let you know
One on one is the way and that's the way it should be, yeah
So if you're not gonna stay
Then don't be playing with me
You can set me free
All I'm asking you for
When you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
'Cause all this love is for you
And you know that I'm true
And I'll be your baby
All I'm asking you for
When you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
'Cause I knew from the start
That you were working my heart
Won't you be my baby
I remember our walk the other Saturday night, yeah
Sweet harmonies filled and floated through our minds
Never felt this way before
We were riding so high on love and understanding
So why go wasting your time when you have got such a find
That is everlasting
All I'm asking you for
When you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
I just want to be sure
That forever and more
You would be my baby
All I'm asking you for
When you walk out the door
Is to me my baby, baby
'Cause all this love is for you
And you know that I'm true
And I'll be your baby
And I want you to love me baby
