Can You Feel
The Maroons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just can't leave you alone
We keep goin' back and forth, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feeling?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me

Quick, give me some Novocaine
It's almost like you're pulling me closer
To tell me it's over
But I like the change
I know you think that love's temporary
But please don't compare me to
Anybody, anybody, anybody else now, yeah
Tell me you ain't fallin', but I see you on the way down, whoa

I just can't leave you alone
We keep goin' back and forth, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feelin'?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me
I just can't leave you alone
We keep comin' back for more, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feelin'?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me

So tell me somethin' about you
Everything you been through
So what's you got to lose?
So what's you got to lose?
It can be about the past
Or something brand new
What do we got to lose?
What do we got to lose?





Please don't compare me to
Anybody, anybody, anybody else now (else now), oh
Tell me you ain't fallin', but I see you on the way down, whoa

I just can't leave you alone
We keep goin' back and forth, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feelin'?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me
I just can't leave you alone
We keep goin' back for more, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feelin'?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me (yeah)

She throw the pass to the devil, and I intercept, yeah (oh)
Have you ever had a make out session with death? Yeah (oh, yeah)
In a strip club, tryna get all the pretty girls to dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah, huh
I remember back in high school
They said I wouldn't stand a chance, chance (chance, chance)

I just can't leave you alone
We keep goin' back and forth, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feelin'?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me
I just can't leave you alone
We keep comin' back for more, oh
Why can't you just tell me how you're feelin'?
Why can't you admit it?
I told you everything about me (yeah)

So tell me somethin' about you
So tell me somethin' about you

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
