Butterflies
Sly's Alter Ego Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You must be an angel
So tell me how I can be the man that you want by your side
I'll be that
I'll be that for you
Cupid got me when he shot me
I was standing next to you
Just expecting some rejecting, but it seems he got you too
You said I was crazy
Well, maybe, baby, I'm crazy for you
So I told you, you're pretty
You said I was crazy
Well, maybe, baby, I'm crazy for you
That's why
I get butterflies, I get high when I look in your eyes
You must be an angel
So tell me how I can be the man that you want by your side
I'll be that
I'll be that for you
I'll admit that I was so scared
That you wouldn't feel the same
Way that I do
But about me
Causing our friendship to change
So I told you, you're pretty
You said I was crazy
Well maybe, baby, I'm crazy for you
So I told you, you're pretty
You said I was crazy
Well maybe, baby, I'm crazy for you
That's why I get butterflies I can't hide
When I look in your eyes
You must be an angel
So tell me how I can be the man that you want by your side
I'll be that, I'll be that for you
I won't give up
We can have so much fun together
I won't give up
With you things seem much better
I get butterflies I can't hide
When I look in your eyes
You must be an angel
So tell me how I can be the man that you want by your side
I'll be that,
I'll be that for you
I'll be that for you
I'll be that for you
I'll be that for you
