Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Admit it, baby.
'Cause I'm wise to your disguise.
I've seen you love me with your eyes.
Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell,
then you don't know me well.
Would you come over here and break the ice?
It would be so nice.
It's what you want when you're around me.
You're a little bit shy and I feel the need.
And I can tell that you're happy you found me.
So give it up.
Why wait around when you know that you feel it?
I look through your eyes I can see that you want somebody.
It could feel so good to get into it.
Give it up! Give it up! You want it, baby.
Give it up! Give it up! You know you got me.
Come on come on come on and give it up.
I can't I can't lie to you.
Now we can all tell stories so come over here and love me.
Even if you think I'm a fool and I just can't tell, sorry I know you well.
And I know you will. Come over here an love me.
It's what you want when you're around me.
You're a little bit shy and I feel the need.
And I can tell that you're happy you found me.
So give it up.
Why wait around when you know that you feel it?
I look through your eyes I can see that you want somebody.
It could feel so good to get into it.
Give it up! Give it up! You want it, baby.
Give it up! Give it up! You know you got me.
Come on come on come on and give it up.
So dream your way into my life.
'Cause baby, I'll give you tonight
and bring all your pictures to life.
Give it up! Give it up! Give it up!
Give it up! Give it up . Give it up.
Just give it up. Give it up.
Give it up! Give it up! yea.
Give it up! Give it up!
Come on come on come on come on.
Give it up! Give it up.
Won't you give it up, baby, tonight?
'Cause you know you know that it's right.
Now come on. Let's give it up.
Come on, baby.
Give it up! Give it up! Yea.
Give it up! Give it up!
Give it up!
It could feel so good to get into it.
