Skegss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya giving me a heart attack, yeah ya making me nervous.
Stop being slack cuz I dont deserve it.
Life's pretty wack to think that we all love it.
My heart is achin, cuz im so love sick.
And you keep taking all the love from it.
You suck my blood like a vampire,
But when you give me love, it starts thumping.
do do do do do do, do do doo
do do do do
do do do do, do do doo
do do do
My mind's in tact, but I don't know how to work it.
Ya giving me a heart attack, yeah ya making me nervous.
Stop being slack cuz I dont deserve it.
Life's pretty wack to think that we all love it.
My heart is achin, cuz im so love sick.
And you keep taking all the love from it.
You suck my blood like a vampire,
and it stops pumping.
But when you give me love, it starts thumping.
do do do do do do, do do doo
do do do do
do do do do, do do doo

You might because Skeggs are signed to Dune Rats label RatBags! And Dune Rats have been all over the world! So you never know, they might just pick up Skeggs along with them!
