Emotion
PapaNegro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't get around when you're no there
I can't get away
I can't get unbound when you're not there
I keep running away

I can get emotion
And you can get devotion from me
Let's make a difference now
You can make a difference
when you find the difference is you
Let's make it better now

I can't make a sound when you're not there
It just ain't the same
I keep coming down when you're not there
It just ain't my day

I can get emotion
And you can get devotion from me
Let's make a difference now
You can make a difference
when you find the difference is you
Let's make it better now

I was lost and found when you got there
Yeah you paved the way
Now I'm safe and sound nothing I can't bear
Everything's OK

I can get emotion
And you can get devotion from me
Let's make a difference now
You can make a difference




when you find the difference is you
Let's make it better now
