Care
R3hab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a vintage kind of love
Whose side am I on
You've been breaking skin
And slashing in
I'm a ghost in your thoughts
As you figured out all the costs
You don't neeed to be staying
I reach to you, reach into you
Turning your past, babe
Now won't you put me in your shrine
I - I'm a vintage kind of love
And make the rules as we groan
I'm a vintage kind of soul
As you take my hand and lie our shrine
I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you
Cause you might kill us
I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you
I'mma care for you
I'mma care for you
I'mma care
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'mma care
I'm a different kind of drug
Cyanide in my lungs, a toxic grab
Stop breaking in, crashing in
Stop playing in the dark
You're my conductor of energy
Director of our fantasy
I lean from ya, I lean to ya
Nostalgic sweet taste
Now won't you meet me where our end comes
I'm a different kind of drug
See the world as we have and take it
I'm a different kind of sherriff
As I wrap myself in a tourniquet
I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you
Cause you will kill us
I'mma care for you, I'mma care for you
I'mma care for you
I'mma care for you




I'mma care for you
I'mma care for you
