Sneaky Sound System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
The first thing
That she said to me was
"I don't want to be alone"
Sure thing don't even have to mention it
My attention you're going to get it all night and day
My love for you is unconditional
She gives me
The tingles
Every single time i see her face
Every single time i hear her voice
It's like a perfect moment that is on repeat
Over and over and over again
I hope the moment will
Never end
I don't ever want to lose you
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
I'd never seen someone who looked like that before
"She's like a dream"
I was totally totally mesmerized
I should have done much more before it got to late
"But it got too late"
Much too late
For her to tolerate
I got no one to blame nobody but myself
I was short sighted and misguided
And sure enough I didn't talk about it
I never said I was wrong
I didn't talk about it
I never apologized
I didn't say it
I should'a said it
I don't ever want to lose you
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I want to get this sorted out
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
I don't ever want to lose you
