The Boom Booms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I wanna do with you girl
So
What I got to do to you girl
To be
The thief in your mind
Cause i've been building my own world
One brick at a time
Everyday goes by
Everyday goes by
Everyday goes by aye aye eyah
And little woman
You give me light from out the dark
And where you're coming from
A great flame
Follows a little spark
You could probably let my soul to waste
Just lick your little fingers on my face
You got that little light in your eyes
You make me wanna take it so slow
I headed back from just getting high
I'll be the one to bring you real low
And we've been kicking it everyday now
But I'm always saving my best for you
So if you like it,
come on throw your hands up and do that little dancer
It's like fire
Burning out the shadows in me
Now I know that there's somebody, headed to me
It's like fire
Burning out the shadows in me
And I wanna thank you for being that somebody, praying for me
You know, what I wanna do with you girl
So, what I gotta do to you girl, to be
The thief in your mind
Cause I've been building my own world, one brick at a time
And it just keeps getting better, keeps getting better
Every day goes by
Every day goes by
Every day goes by aye aye eyah, ohh
Ladahdahdaye lahdahdaye eyhh
Ladahdahdaye lahdahdaye eyhh
It's like fire
Burning out the shadows in me
Now I know that there's somebody, praying for me
It's like fire
Burning out the shadows in me
And I wanna thank you for being that somebody, praying for me
You know, yes you do, yes you do
And you know, yes you do, yes you do
The song "You Know" by The Boom Booms is a love song in which the singer expresses his ardor to his beloved. He desires to be the "thief in her mind" and build a shared world with her "one brick at a time." He acknowledges the power that she holds over him, as she has the ability to "lick her little fingers on his face" and "make him wanna take it slow." The singer also thanks the woman for being his light, especially during his "dark" times, and "praying for him."
The chorus, "Everyday goes by," is a reflection on the passage of time and the development of their relationship. They have been "kicking it every day now," but he is always "saving his best" for her. The repetition of the line emphasizes the consistency and progression of their bond. The phrase "It's like fire," signifies the passion and intensity of their love, a force that has the power to burn away the singer's "shadows" and bring someone special into his life.
