Detox
Simon Curtis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're up against
The people
Trying to
Take back
Your music
Its like a reclamation
You against the heat
You gotta get
In the zone
You gotta
Get in the zone

Detoxify
Detoxify

Not that long ago
I loved nobody more
To make you happy
Baby
I thought you were born
I had to watch
You play around
With those boys
Anticipating
When you make
Some more noise

I felt so lucky
To have you
In my life
I looked the other way
As you walked on by
But everytime
I see you
Now I deploy
Please Mona Lisa
Baby
Hit me one more time

It just got so crazy
I thought
You were stronger
Oh baby baby
Can't wait that much longer

Don't believe
I just don't believe it
Said you beat it
But I don't believe it
So I think you need it
Don't think you need it
Don't repeat it
Detox

You need it
Don't deny it
You just don't deny it
Try to hide it
But you can't deny it
So I don't defy it
You can't justify it
Rigidify it
And detoxify it

You're up against the people
Trying to take back your music
Its like a reclamation
You against the heat
You gotta
Get in the zone
You gotta
Get in the zone

And if you really wanna fight it
Sattle up
And let your rhythm renighted it
Try to hit it
In a minute I'mma take you on
I'mma take you on

Now I can see
Your just a girl
You are not
Don't let me be
The last to know
When you thought
'Bout where you're gonna go
Before the goodbye

I try and try
But I can't get satisfied
Sometimes I feel
The answer
You give is poor
I'm about to tell you
Don't go knockin'
On my door

It just got so crazy
I thought you were stronger
Oh baby baby
Can't wait that much longer

Don't believe
I just don't believe it
Said you beat it
But I don't believe it
So I think you need it
Don't think you need it
Don't repeat it
Detox
You need it

Don't deny it
You just don't deny it
Try to hide it
But you can't deny it
So I don't defy it
You can't justify it
Rigidify it
And detoxify it

Don't believe
I just don't believe it
Said you beat it
But I don't believe it
So I think you need it
Don't think you need it
Don't repeat it
Detox
You need it

Don't deny it
You just don't deny it
Try to hide it
But you can't deny it
So I don't defy it
You can't justify it
Rigidify it
And detoxify it

You're up against the people
Trying to take
Back your music
Its like a reclamation
You against the heat
You gotta
Get in the zone
You gotta
Get in the zone

And if you really wanna fight it
Sattle up
And let your rhythm renighted it
Try to hit it




In a minute I'mma take you on
I'mma take you on
