The Bahamas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got all the time in the world
Don't you want some of that
I' got all the time in the world
Don't you want some of that
Don't you want some of that
I would if I were you

I had all (all) the (the) time (time)
In the world
You wanted none of that

I had all (all) the (the) time (time)
In the world
You wanted none of that
You wanted none of that
I would if I were you

Put my work (work) in (in) front (front)
Of my girl
There's something wrong with that

Put my work (work) in (in) front (front)
Of my girl
There's something wrong with that





Something really, really wrong with that
I know this to be true

Dude I was at a bar last night and I knew wasn't Alabama Shake but got damn it was close
