Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven's not too far kid, we've been tumbling,
Down down baby, you're so audio
But I'm a gentleman, I'm such a gentleman,
We keep in time kid, you're so into it
But if you were mine kid, we'd be intermate
These razors ain't your roses
But I'm a gentleman, (I'm such a gentleman)
Sway sway baby you're so audio
Kill your boyfriend we could be together oh
Sway sway baby tonight, maybe tonight
You'll write back to my letters home oh
We'll never let go oh
We'll never let go oh
We'll never let
Were torn apart kid, tearing to the beat
Lovers to the bone kid, you said no no no
These razors ain't your roses, but I'm a gentleman, I'm such a gentleman
Sway sway baby you're so audio
Kill your boyfriend we could be together
Sway sway baby tonight, maybe tonight
You'll write back to my letters
Sway sway baby, you're so audio
Kill your boyfriend, I'm such a gentleman
Sway sway baby tonight, maybe tonight,
You'll write back to my letters home
Cause I insist this secret liquid shared between us
Just to skip this secret through our throat
Oh oh secrets down our throat oh oh
Yeah I insist this secret liquid shared between us
Just to skip this secrets down our throat
Oh oh secrets down
And I'll never let you go (I'm such a gentleman, I'm such a gentleman)

Sway sway baby , you're so audio
Kill your boyfriend, we could be together
Sway sway baby tonight, maybe tonight,
You'll write back to my letters home
