The Fives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh human, born to make mistakes
If five boys in the house say it loud
If five in the house check it out
If five boys in the house say it loud
If five in the house check it out
Never like to see you cry, please forgive me
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness
I'm only human, of flesh and blood I'm made
Ooh human, born to make mistakes
If five boys in the house say it loud
If five boys in the house check it out
When I lay upon my bed I reminisce then I wish
That I got you by my side with the cherry red kiss
Hit me off make it soft hold me tight throughout the night
You know I'm gonna fight cos the thing we had was right
But if you go all I know I can't go a day without you
Here in my arms hypnotized with your charms now
I'm feeling for you baby ain't you hearing the alarms
You can't stop all that love that I got
Wanna rewind time to better days that were hot check it
Bring back the better days for me baby
You gotta bring 'em back cos I'm going crazy
I go insane with your name up in my brain
Things will never be the same you ain't up in my frame
So what you gonna do what you gonna say
Tell me that you're gonna push your loving back my way
I'm only human, of flesh and blood I'm made
Ooh human, born to make mistakes
If five boys in the house say it loud (human)
If five boys in the house check it out
If five boys in the house say it loud (ooh human)
If five boys in the house check it out
If five boys in the house say it loud (human)
If five boys in the house check it out
If five boys in the house check it out (ooh human)
If five boys in the house say it loud
If five boys in the house check it out (human)
If five boys in the house say it loud
If five boys in the house check it out (ooh human)
