T. BLAKE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he knows i'd love to love him,
And he lets me down every time,
Can't make him mine he's no-one's lover,
Tonight with me he'll be so inviting,
I want her all for myself.
Temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Love me tonight.
French lines :
" je voudrais aimer,
Baise moi baby, baise moi baby,
Baise moi baby okey ".
His wild-eyed innocence is just a game,
But just the same my head is spinnin',
He's got a way to keep me on his side,
It's just a ride that's never ending,
Tonight with me he'll be so exciting,
I want him all for myself.
Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me tonight.
" la vie est gaie quand tu m'aimes ",
With me he'll be so exciting,
I want him all for myself.
Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me, love me tonight.
Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me.
Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me,
Love me baby.
Oh temptation eyes looking through my-my-my soul,
Temptation eyes, you got to love me tonight.
