Sammie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't I breathe when your nearbye
My heart is pounding so hard
I think of you so much that I can't sleep
Your like the rose that blooms in Spring
And like the snow that Winter brings
And I'd give anything
Just to have you talk to me
Hook:
Oh Girl I
I get so excited
When I see you passing by
Oh Girl I
I get so excited when we make contact eye to eye
Chorus:
I'll do detention time for you
Give all my allowance all to you
Do your chores and homework too
I would do it for you
Trade in a trip to Disneyland
Just for the chance to hold your hand
Just as sure as my name is Sam
I would do it for you
Still forever is still not enough time
For me to spend with you but I
Would walk a thousand miles
Just to have the chance to look into your eyes
Your like a dream when I'm awake
I don't know how much I can take
I wish that I could find
The perfect words to say

Oh girl I

Trade in a trip to Disneyland

I would do it for you
Oh girl I
I'd do it all for you
