Sure Thing - Miguel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Treat you like a friend
Respect you like a lover.
oooh, ohh, oooh ohh. oooh ohh.
(You can bet that, never go to sweat that). x4
If you be the cash, I'll be the rubber band
You be the match, I' goin be a fuse. BOOM
Painter baby you can be the muse.
Cause you're the cigarette, and i'm the smoker
We raise a bet, cause you're the joker
Truth though
You are the chalk
And I could be the blackboard
And you can be the talk
I could be the walk
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when we're down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We can do it baby simple and plain
Cause this love is a sure thing
(You could bet that, never got to sweat that). x4
You could be the lover
I'll be the fighter babe
If I'm the blunt
Then you're lighter babe
Fire it up!
Writer baby
You could be the quote
If I'm the lyric baby
You could be the note
Record that!
Saint, I'm a sinner
Prize, I'm a winner
And it's you
What did I do to deserve that
Paper baby
I'll be the pen
Say that I'm the one
Cause you are a ten
Real and not pretend!
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when we're down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We can do it babe simple and plain
Cause this love is a sure thing
(Rock with me baby, let me hold you in my arms, talk with me baby) x2
This love
Between you and I
As simple as pie baby
Such a sure thing
Oh is it a sure thing
(music)
Even when the sky comes falling
Even when the sun don't shine
I got faith in you and I
So put your pretty little hand in mine
Even when we're down to the wire baby
Even when it's do or die
We can do it baby simple and plain
This love is a sure thing
