Pigeons Playing Ping Pong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No need to read my rights
I′m ready for tonight
I got a feeling that you'll join me
You are the best around
I searched the whole damn town
But we better jump tonight
Baby, I got somethin′ for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin' for ya
Baby, I got somethin' for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin′ for ya
Someone to hold you tight
To keep you warm at night
And share the glowing light
I got a feeling when we′re talking
I like to fool around
When all the lights go down
But we better jump tonight
See where it goes
Baby, I got somethin' for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin′ for ya
Baby, I got somethin' for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin′ for ya
Something that I know
I got a feeling that you'll call out
So I pack my things and roll
Analyse the fallout
But sometimes you know
Well, I′m guessing that you knew that
So, I pick up off the floor
I'm a tornado that blew back (blew back, blew back)
Baby, I got somethin' for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin′ for ya, I say whoa, whoa
Baby, I got somethin′ for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin' for ya
Baby, I got somethin′ for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
I got somethin' for ya
Baby, I got somethin′ for ya
Something for my baby, whoa
