Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby its alright (alright)
Somehow were gonna get to the bottom of this
If it takes us all night (all night)
Somehow were gonna find that moment of bliss
Come one let me kiss and make it better
Cause better aint the best i can do

Ill take your wrong and make it right

Take your load and make it light
Dry your eyes and you can bet

Make you numb to the pain
Hey ill be your novicane

Well have us a good time (good time)
Baby let me pull you out of the shade
Meet me in the sunshine (sunshine)
Do you wanna come out and play
Baby theres been alot of talking
Talking aint all i wanna do

Come on let me kiss and make it better
Cause better aint the best i can do

Make you numb to the pain
Hey ill be your novicane
