Keep On
Santos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why we fuss and fight
Baby, everyday
Soon we`ll have
No words left to say
I don’t even know
What I’m supposed to do
When you say it’s over
When you say we`re through
I thought it was for real
But I was dreaming
All the times
You asked me for forgiveness
Baby how I wish you could understand...

I am trying to get in
All you do is keep me out

Sabes lá tu pelo que eu já passei
Perdido nesta vida até que me encontrei
Segui o meu caminho até chegar aqui
Tive tudo, e quase tudo perdi
Porque é que me pões de fora?
Sem hesitares, sem demora.
Espero que saibas que eu sempre tentei





I am trying to get in
All you do is keep me out
