Someone Else
Ten Feet Deep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This reminds me of a girl that I knew
She was pretty as you but just a little funnier
I never told her what I really wanted to
Oh if only she knew how bad I really wanted her

But I was with someone else
Laughing in her room and taking her to dinner
And I thought of nothing else but sleeping with you
Does that make me a sinner?
Cause if so I'd like to sin again

If she could cut me down to size maybe she'd realize
That I was something more, I couldn't wait to leave her door
But ever since my night with you, I've wondered if you wanted to
Take back the words I put in you on the living room floor

But I was with someone else
Laughing in her room and taking her to dinner
And I thought of nothing else but sleeping with you
Does that make me a sinner?
Cause if so I'd like to sin again

I didn't care to follow (where she'd go)
I'm hoping that tonight won't (leave you lonely)
And I won't be going home to her

But I was with someone else
Laughing in her room and taking her to dinner
And I thought of nothing else but sleeping with you




Does that make me a sinner?
Cause if so I'd like to sin again
