Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were gonna come to me
Here you are
You better choose carefully
Cause l-l-I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything
Make me your Aphrodite
Make me your one and only
your enemy, your enemy
So you wanna play with magic
But Girl, you should know fire for
Do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
Down to earth
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hand now baby
Yes or no, no maybe
Just be sure before you give it up to me
up to me, up to me, give it up to me
So you wanna play with magic
But Girl, you should know Fire for
Do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
No going back

But Girl, you should know fire for
Do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
The perfect storm, perfect storm
Cause once you're mine, once you're mine
There's no going back
