Access
R.V.D.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think it's just a game
Think it's just a little fun
Well don't you play it with me
If I need attention, it's not from a stranger
Tell me now, tell me young man
Is it so hard to see you've crossed a line?
Sorry for you, I got plenty to do
Go play with your crew
Access denied!
I don't know why you think I care if you want me
I don't know why you think I care if you need me
You don't even know, you don't know who I am inside
So I don't know why, why I should I care if you want me
Grown men, acting like teens
they'd promise me the world,
that they'll treat me like a queen
Ah, what's the matter with you?
Can't you leave a PYT just simply walk through?
Tell me now, tell me old man,
What would your lady think about this?
Lucky for you I got too much to do
To tell her the news
Access denied!
I don't know why you think I care if you want me
I don't know why you think I care if you need me
You don't even know, you don't know who I am inside
So I don't know why, why I should I care if you want me
