Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz the TV didn′t own my eyes
Baby you were looking so damn fine
Yeah you had me at an all time high
Who'd have known that a front door lock
Would end up turning into pillow talk
What a way to start a morning off
With you rocking my shirt and all
Babe I love when you play secretary
With those glasses on
You know you don′t need them but it you know it kills me
When you wear them on the tip of your nose
You don't have to dress to impress me
Babe you're never not lookin sexy
Yeah you′re hotter than a coconut candle
With nothing on must my favorite flannel
Yeah you could let your Levi jeans
Keep hiding undernead these sheets
You know what the shirts yours to keep
My God you wear it better than me
Babe I love when you play secretary
With those glasses on
You know you don′t need them but it you know it kills me
When you wear them on the tip of your nose
You don't have to dress to impress me
Babe you′re never not lookin sexy
Yeah you're hotter than a coconut candle
With nothing on must my favorite flannel
You rockin that, Red and black
Pearl smack?, Fits you just right
Baby it′s okay, I don't want it back
Cuz you look so hot in that flannel
Oh I love when you play secretary
With those glasses on
You know you don′t need them but it kills me
When you wear them on the tip of your nose
(Ohh noooo) You don't have to dress to impress me
Babe you're never not lookin sexy
(Oh yeah) yeah you′re hotter than a coconut candle
(You know) With nothing on must my favorite flannel
(Oooo) You rockin that, Red and black
(Yeah yeah) Pearl smack?, Fits you just right
(Baby it′s okay) baby it's okay, I don′t want it back
(Oh) Cuz you look so hot in that flannel
You rockin that, Red and black
Pearl smack?, Fits you just right
(Baby it's okay) baby it′s okay, I don't want it back
Cuz you look so hot in that flannel
