Strange Things
Roseaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the friday night
Girls meet boys
Strange things are happen
On the friday night
Girls meet boys
And lot's of huggin' and kissin'
Under the golden moon
Hoo Hoo I'd like to be one of them
But i'm like a wondering sheep
A wondering sheep on this island
With no one to love me
With no one to kiss me
That's why i say
Someone please
Take my hand and let us go
I keep on thinking
I wish it was me
(All X2)
