Perfect Enemy
Tatu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why should I welcome
Your domination
Why should I listen
To explanations

I'm not pretending
To make it simple
Try to be something
Experimental

You don't turn me off
I will never fail
Things I loved before
Are not for sale

Keep yourself away
Far away from me
I forever stay
Your perfect enemy

No longer waiting
Remove illusions
No more complaining
Forget confusion

No more confession
Not sentimental
I am now something
Experimental

You don't turn me off
I will never fail
Things I loved before
Are not for sale

Keep yourself away
Far away from me




I forever stay
Your perfect enemy
