On the Floor
Standard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got know you in college
when the shops were all closed down
I thought I'd never meet you
but you found me one more time

I used to treat with another girl
and I still love her 'till this time
She gives me peace and pleasure
but you give me another live

'cause I got you babe
right were I wanted to, I wanted to ...
And I want you babe
on the floor, on the floor ...

How do you feel right now
that you stole everthing I had?
You save my night on a highway, babe,
but you ruined my time

I don't see no exits,
no drive-ins, no cars
I don't see my pretty wife,
all I see it's a big bright light

'cause I got you babe
right were I wanted to, I wanted to ...
And I want you babe
on the floor, on the floor,
on the floor, on the floor ...

I don't wanna be buried,
buried in the sand
I wanna live my life
and let my soul fly high

'cause I got you babe
right were I wanted to, I wanted to ...
And I want you babe
on the floor, on the floor ...





Heart and soul, love will burn.
Heart and soul, one will burn
